Happy Veteran's Day!

Today, we remember those who have and continue to fight for our freedom. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can continue to live free. We think of those in foreign land and pray they come home safely. We think of the families of our Veteran's who are along side of their spouses, parents, children for support and encouragement. We think of the families who have lost a loved one in war.

It makes me sad that people view today as "a day off work" when in reality, it's about honoring those who fought/fight so we can live our lives and have all the great things we have.

"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." - Elmer Davis

I am proud to say that I am married to a Veteran. I am married to a man who is willing to stand up and fight for our country and for that, I love him even more. I have a sense of pride being able to say, my husband is a United States Marine and has fought for our country. I couldn't be more proud of him and all our Veteran's.

So thank you... thank you for your service. Thank you for your courage and strength.

12 weeks!

How Far Along: 12 weeks!

Total Weight Gain: 3.5 lbs. (that's .5 from last week)

Maternity Clothes: Yup. I ordered a lot off eBay the other day and should be getting it in a couple days. I've been wearing regular tops and maternity tops. Depends on if I want to look big or not because tight fitting clothes make me look big!

Best Moment this Week: We went to Baby R Us this weekend and registered for some stuff. Early I know but I'm a planner and wanted to do it before Christmas since I'm going to Alaska in January for my baby shower. We just did a of the basics.

Food Cravings: Biscuits and gravy... lol. We were at the commissary and I asked Brett if I could pick up stuff for biscuits and gravy and he said he doesn't want to eat it anymore but I can. Poor guy :)

What are You Looking Forward to this Week: Brett has a 4 day weekend!!

11 weeks!

How Far Along: 11 weeks!

Total Weight Gain: 3 lbs. But in my defense (besides that I am pregnant with twins), I hadn't weighed myself in almost 2 weeks.

Maternity Clothes: Yeah. I definitely need to invest in a good pair of maternity jeans. I bought capris and have been living in them.

Best Moment this Week: Not baby related but Brett got promoted yesterday and I got to pin on his new rank. It was a great day and I am so proud of him!

Food Cravings: French fries..that probably explains the weight gain :) That and the Halloween candy!

What are You Looking Forward to this Week: Saturday Brett and I are going to go to Babies r Us and look at the baby stuff we want and maybe start a registry. I don't care if people think it's too early. The big things we want are gender neutral so won't matter about the sex.
