Summertime

Summer has officially arrived and my oh my is it HOT! With temps in the mid 90's and the humidity making it feel even hotter I've been getting really worn out when doing outdoor activities. It hasn't slowed us down much though. We've been working on lots of projects & Eddie prefers to be running around exploring the outdoors. We've applied a stain/sealer onto Eddie's swingset we acquired at Christmas from the neighbor (really gave it a facelift), we purchased a cheap shed off of Craigslist and it needs some serious TLC so we've been working to remove some rust and paint it, we've painted Eddies new bedroom and touched up the paint on the bunkbeds & also painted the table and chairs for his play area, I've made some cute little stencil cutouts for the babies room and also mentally and physically preparing for the flight to Indiana in 2 days (John is staying home).
I've hit the point in pregnancy (just beyond 6 months) where I have a difficult time finding a comfortable position to sleep, I feel like a beached whale, it's a strain to bend down to do things without feeling like I'll faint from lack of bloodflow to my brain, & I'm running out of lap room for Eddie to sit (adds a challenge for flying w/ him on my lap, oh, and my back is really killing me. Please add us to your prayer list this week as we travel....safety, eddie sitting still, and I'm praying that I can even visit w/ my Mom. She recently found out she has shingles and this means she isn't supposed to be around pregnant women for risk of transferring chickenpox to the fetus. We hope the rash is cleared up by the end of the week so we can visit.
I will post pictures of Eddie's room and the babies room once it's officially complete. Here is a picture of the swingset for now.
