busy busy busy!

Yesterday I took the kids to the Lake again. This time we went with friends. Abby had someone to play with and Luke had someone to play with. It was so cute watching the girls play together. Here is a sweet video of the 2 girls together...



I've been working on a new project.. I wanted to try making my own baby clothes. I figured this is my last chance at it, so I tried to get motivated. Only problem is I don't know how to read a pattern very well. I followed what I could understand and made up the rest! :) anyways here is the little outfit I made! I was looking for some brighter colors vs. the pastels they always do on babies. The arms of the shirt are brown, not black.Sorry the hat picture it turned sideways. The computer randomly does that and I don't have the patience today to fix it! Rich has been working on his own "not so little" project! Last night he was finally able to start building the play set. We've spent the last few weeks cutting and staining the boards. It's neat to finally see some progress that looks more like the finished result!
The pregnancy is going well. I should be 24 weeks this weekend. I'm excited to be further along. They actually make attempts to save the baby if she were to come early at this point. Each week her chances of survival increase dramatically. She's very active now. Always starts stirring as soon as I sit down to relax! I'm dealing w/ heartburn now on a regular basis, so I up'd my meds for that. The leg cramps are trying to sneak in too, but I've managed to avoid a full blown attack so far. I'm rather depressed about the weight I've put on. I've gained 20 pounds now. With Luke and Abby I gained 50 total. So I think it's just bound to happen, but I don't have to like it! :(
Our vacation to the OBX is coming up. We're excited to start thinking about that. We are going to stop at Idlewild on the way down. We're also stopping at Norfolk VA I think?! Maybe to the children's museum? or something?
