Children's Museum in Portsmouth

Knocking down a wall that a 6 year old worked meticulously on. Look how sad the little girl in the background is!

We had a great time with Andrea and Ellyse. (Ava and Ellyse are just 3 weeks apart and Andrea is expecting another baby due in October...2 days before me!)

Howling 

This museum was great. We are going to try to go as often as possible on rainy days till it closes in August (for renovations). 

Fun at GiGi's House

Talking on the phone to each other 

This one I forgot to post from the museum. She tried on outfits from different countries. This is the Chinese one. Her hair pulls off the look!

It's Official.....Soon to be 4 Vs!

We are having another Baby!!!

Hip Hip Hooray!

The expected due date of our newest addition is approximately October 17, 2009. We are beyond thrilled. I have had an ultrasound and the baby has a strong heartbeat and is healthy. We will be delivering at Portsmouth Naval Hospital and I am very impressed with the facilities. It is where all the OBGYNs in the Navy are trained.  I was also told that we will be having our baby during the busiest time of year for them. The nurse said September and October they are swamped. We are crossing our fingers that Greg will be there for the birth because he is leaving for deployment at the end of October. This pregnancy has taken much more of a toll on me physically but I am doing OK for the most part. I will be sure to keep everyone updated frequently!

Wahoo!!!!
