31 weeks today!

Hello everybody!

Karen here to give you the August baby update! We just got back from the doctor and things are looking great! The doctor also said that he's really strong and healthy and kicking around. In fact he kicked the little heartbeat monitor thing the doctor was using. :)

As for me I've been feeling pretty cruddy lately, I still get little headaches but nothing nearly as bad as that migraine thing I got. And no more numbness either. But these little headaches are really annoying, can't wait until that's over with.

Also in news Bill got a new job! He does cleanup on dirty dirty films now so they can be made all pretty onto DVDs :) And the best of all is that they have a night shift so that we can trade off Charlie after he's born and not have to worry about daycare and we'll still have the weekends all together! Woohoo!!

That's all for now. I'm now going to have doctor's appointments every two weeks so stay tuned for more updates and maybe some surprises!!

PS also don't forget about the upcoming Baby Bash!! Contact Julie for details!!!

Keeping us on our toes!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a little update on all of the goings on!

Well a few days ago I was hanging out at work and suddenly *bam!* I was seeing spots..it was like after you look into a bright light or see a flash and you get those bright floaty spots but I hadn't looked at anything...strange....so I waited for them to go away and I came home. Then I took a nap and when I woke up I started seeing spots again and then my hands went numb...even more strange...so we called the doctor and they said that we could come in or we could wait until the next day. But once the numbness came back and I started to get a REALLY BAD headache Bill threw me in the car and off we went to the doctor. And let me tell you they do NOT mess around when it comes to strange symptons! They ran EVERY test in the book on me! Which was annoying yet nice because they're being thourough and all. And the final verdict? I'm fine! Looks like I got a migraine probably because of all the hormones and baby stuff. The next few days I laid low because I would still get the spots and little headaches which the doctor said is fine as long as they're not as bad as that first migraine. But now I'm pretty much back to normal! Everything is good! Just another annoying thing to add to the list :) Nothing to worry about!!

I have another Doctor appointment in a couple of weeks! Until then!
