Dr. appt
We went to the dr today for another baby appt. I am measuring exactly where I'm supposed to be and his heartbeat was 140. He is a very active little booger. He kicks a lot more than Liam did. The dr always has a hard time getting his heartbeat because he is constantly moving around or kicking the monitor. She said my due date is September 2nd and so far I've only gained 4 lbs. It doesn't look that way, believe me!!! I have to start going every 2 weeks now and I go back June 7th for another appt and to do my glucose test....yuck :( Hopefully, I will get lucky like I did with Liam and not have to do the 3 hr test. We have picked out the bedding and we are going western. We found some cute cowboy bedding that we love, Round Em Up by Cocalo is the name of the bedding. We just agreed yesterday so I am going to search for some more western ones. We are still thinking about the name situation. So far, we both agree on Lawson Brooks. I just thought I would update everyone on the baby.
Liam is doing great...growing like a weed. He talks so much and we are having so much fun with him. We went to his new daycare yesterday to look at the new facility and meet everyone. He had a blast and we loved it. I have a meeting all day tomorrow so he is going to go tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!!! I am teaching summer school and my mom is going to keep him during that....he is going to be so spoiled!!! I am going to take him a couple days a week starting in July to get him used to it before he starts going full time in August. This will give me time to work in my room at school and try to get as much done as I can before the baby comes. We are going to be super busy the next couple of months getting ready for everything :)

GEOCACHING Ever Heard Of It???
Geocaching is a hight-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices.
I believe this could be a ton of fun for the kiddos. People have buried treasure and give you the coordinates to find it. You can find tons near you.

New Information
Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would pop on here and make a post about Charlie. Charlie has been diagnosed to have Malignant Skin Melanoma. We found out last week after he had a mole a little larger than the end of a pencil eraser. It was removed, along with a large area surrounding it and biopsied. When we went back last week to get his stitches removed this is what we were told. Charlie, there are 3 types of skin cancer. Unfortunately you have the kind no one wants to get. Yours is Malignant Melanoma. It is a very serious and deadly cancer. We must go back in and remove more of the area around what we have removed already. It will be biopsied again and we hope it has not spread already. You will need to watch your glands for swelling and get them checked immediately for melanoma in your lymph nodes. Melanoma can attack any where on or in your body. We need to keep it from your lymph nodes if possible.
This time because they are going to have to remove a larger area and then stretch the skin to close it, he has to go to an out patient facility and be put under. That is scheduled to take place on the 26Th.
I am so happy that Charlie listened to me and had our doctor to look at the mole right away. It is unbelievable how fast this cancer grows and it is important to find it in early stages. We found it early and I pray his body is not too weak to fight.
His father, siblings and children have a 50% likely hood that they will develop a melanoma. So I had to contact them and let them know they need to see a dermatologist and be checked from head to toe.
Please pray for good results with this next extraction.
Please watch yourselves and protect your skin. The photos I have seen on websites of this disease are the most hideous thing I have seen. It does affect young people. Not all melanomas are black. Not all black melanoma moles are of irregular shape. Charlies was perfectly round.
Charlie has been using very strong UV protection for years now because some of his medications can cause sun burns. He uses an 85. However, because of all the years he burned so badly in Florida as a child, the damage was done,.
Please, please, please check your body and protect your skin.

Question To Everyone
I am concerned that our family members are not comfortable with using a Blog. Perhaps it is that some do not know how, or that they do not want to get a new email addy in order to use it. Cindy has done a beautiful job of creating and giving tutorials of how to use a blog.
I would appreciate some feed back, on what everyone thinks. Does anyone know why it is not being used like the family page was?
I am asking because I notice on FaceBook you can create a Family ONLY account. It is used just like a regular FB account, only it is for family members only.
Do you think people would be more comfortable with that?
I miss hearing from everyone, the way we kept up on the old family page.
If that is the case, I will set up a Family Face Book account. It too is free and I notice there are a lot of family members on FB.
Give me feedback, please.
Love, Barb
