Today is our 5 year anniversary! This is the first anniversary that we're actually together on due to being deployed, out in the field or whatever in the past. We weren't going to spend it together but I couldn't let another anniversary slip by when we're only a few hours away so I packed up the kids last night, drove 2.5 hours and surprised my hubby.
I can't believe how fast time flies and how much we've accomplished in that time. He truly is my best friend and I can't imagine being on this journey with anyone else. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him and seeing what the future holds for us and our family.

I'm so tired of...
Peeing! I know I'm pregnant and should be used to it but I'm not. This is the first pregnancy where I'm actually peeing like a pregnant woman and I am so tired of it! I swear its like every 30 mins and when I have to go, I have to go NOW! There is no waiting, no putting it off, it sucks.

Baby proofing, whats the point?
When UNO was less than 6 months old we started baby proofing the house. Outlet plates that swivel (supposedly the best you can get), took all of the little white caps off of the door stoppers, put the magnetic locks on all of the cabinets, gates at the top and bottom of the stairs (the fully mounted, push in and lift up handle ones) and when he started walking we put the door lever locks(for my moms house) and the round knob covers on our doors.
Well little by little my little engineer figured out how to open or work around all of them. He figured out that you have to press up then pull down on the lever locks so those became unusable. I took them back to Babies R Us and they said they wouldn't take them back or give me a refund. They said that I should just be happy that I have a very smart child. I then contacted the company that made the lever locks and was also told that they wouldn't refund my money, recall them or anything. The were willing to send me more though (Why??) I was able to get my money back one way or another though, I researched who sold them and luckily Kohls was one of the locations and they gave me store credit.
My concern was that what if I wasn't right there and he got into the garage or other location and got into poison. Shouldn't the company that is making these locks have some sort of guarantee or stand behind the products they're selling and recall them since something real serious could happen? Now, he's climbing the gates!
Anyway, my point is that if a two year old can figure out ALL of these home safety things, doesn't that defeat the purpose of baby proofing? Maybe they should start trying out all of these items on really smart babies instead of dolls or whatever else they're using. Ugh! This is so frustrating.
