29 Weeks

Our little boy is growing...and growing :). He has already captured our hearts and we cannot wait to meet him. Here are some bump pictures from last night when we were getting ready to go to the change of command party...

Land of the Free...Because of the Brave

I saw this quote, "Land of the free...Because of the brave" on a doctor's door at the Naval Hospital a few days ago and it really struck me. I have always been proud of the men and women who serve our country so bravely, but not in the same way as I have felt it lately. At VP-10's change of command ceremony I was overwhelmed with pride in our service men and women, however, especially for my husband and brother in law. Maybe it's the hormones or maybe it's an acute awareness of what it takes to be in the military, but I actually shed a tear while the national anthem was being played- not something I can say I have ever done before. I am so thankful for these brave men below and what they do for our country- I am even more thankful that they do it unto the Lord. It was a unique opportunity to snap a few pictures of the brothers as part of one squadron before Matt departs for his new duty station.

Sneaking naps in

A certain someone, who will remain nameless, has been napping in the baby's room while we are away at work...

Each morning I close the baby room door, to find a tiny little crack when I return...is this an Edgar sized entry?

Hmm...Edgar must have a really wide girth these days to make such an imprint in the chair...

It must be goldilocks!
...On another note, it seems like Teddy and baby may have more in common than we thought- I was picking up unmentionables in the yard with bags we had bought at the pet store for dog unmentionables and noticed the bag said "munchkin" on the outside of it and smelled like "Arm and Hammer"...it seemed a little familiar to the bags I had bought recently to dispose of baby's stinky diapers- well, sure enough, I went inside to look at baby's "poop bags" and they are identical to Teddy's! Who knew?! At least I only have to bring along one kind of bag while I'm out and about and I can blame it on the pet store or the baby store for selling the same kind of bags for babies and dogs when anyone questions me ;)...the real question now is- where is it sold cheaper?
...our poor little boy doesn't know what he's gotten himself into :)
