OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I don't think anyone is really ever ready! Before we got pregnant I would always ask my husband jokingly about having a baby just because I knew it freaked him a bit...we had always said five years after we got married we would have our first baby...but as it turned out I got pregnant unexpectedly five months into the marriage. So he is our happy surprise! So we were that 1 percent or whatever it is that gets pregnant on BC.

awwww baby talk! Everytime I bring up kids with my hubby he kind of freaks out a little bit. So I guess that means he's not ready yet? :p lol I'm fine with waiting another year or two though. Congrats on your baby's fifth bday Dianna! A whole hand, that's a big deal!

My husband is 30 and I will be 30 at the end of the year. So yeah after I turn 30 we will start trying. Yeah that's why I don't mind them being that far apart. I got to spend so much time with my son that I want the next one to have equal time with the second one.

That's nothing. My brother and I are 10 years apart. AH! 5 years isn't much at all. At least you won't be raising two babies at the same time. One's already potty trained. LOL!
I'm 21, the hubs is 31, so that's the reason for the short wait period. Haha, I tell him he needs to be able to keep up. :p How bout you guys? :]
That's fantasitc. He sounds sweet! :]

Yeah he cracks me up sometimes! We are going to try for another one at the end of the year...big gap I know, but oh well...how old are you guys? They are great though...he keeps me company :) and I love seeing him grow and discover!

It was pretty funny. I kept hearing reviews that it was better than the hangover, but that is SOOO not the case. Lol I will NEVER get over the Hangover. I'm in love with it.
How fun for him! That's so cute. Kids say some of the funniest stuff. :] I love my neighbors kids... until they act crazy, then I ask Lee, "We want kids why???" Lol. We're planning for 2-3 years from now.

My best friend came into town to visit me and her husband so we went to the beach a few times, went out for dinner and saw Get Him to the Greek. My sister in law was out as well, so we met up at the dog beach with our "babies" and let them run some energy out. Fun! :]
Congrats on your babies 5th!
