This post will not have anything to do with pregnancy and what not. No, this post will be about the squatter. We have this, my only guess is a crazy person, believing that the entire little street we're on and the land surrounding it (this includes our house and land plus five other house and property) are his. He brought a huge building crate and parked it between two houses. He as already walked into a neighboring house and threatened the family on the other side. I am supposed to keep the house locked while im there and call 911 if he tries to get in. Matt is asking command if he can leave work if he gets a call about the guy. One of the neighbors are in the process of getting restraining orders for the guy and all the land permits saying who the land really belongs to. So it should clear up in about two weeks. We shall see!
Next news, since I was asked, housing. We are looking for a new place to live hoping to move when it gets closer to spring/summer. It will be easier for the rentor's to find a new tenant. We are considering apartments with two bedrooms. I asked about base and found out that we would lose the 1600 a month that we get for housing off base which helps pay for bills. So no base yet! But we are definitely looking for something a lot closer to base due to the fact that Matt has been coming home late then leaving again for work soon after. The drive is starting to take its toll.
Next set of news is more political. Obama has frozen all government assets right now. And if he continues to do so, Matt's pay will be frozen. Which means no income for us. We can not live on my income so I am really scared of where this administration is going. If he takes the military's paycheck, he will lose a huge group of voters. Re-election should be interesting. The commandant already briefed the entire marine corps that this might happen so be ready. How do you prepare for that? No amount of force or saving can prepare anyone for that.
Well, that is what is going on in our life. Making our lives a little bit stressed right now. I have a monthly check up on monday and the ultrasound to find the sex of the baby on tuesday! So I will call everyone to let you know what we are having!
Toodles!

First post!!!
OK, so I know I told everyone that I had a post but, in reality, I never touched it for months. So, here it is the first post! I am sitting at work and haven't seen anyone for over 2 hours. Pretty much a slow day. Update on Matt and I.
For the first time since we moved to the mountain you can see the porch floor. Matt's gear has finally been put in one spot and it looks less like a storage unit. I am getting settled into work to the point where i actually know what I am doing and Matt is doing is usual Marine thing. Which means get up at the crack of dawn...actually before dawn...heads to work to do Marine things. It has been busy there and he has not been coming home until late.
As for me I am dealing with the pregnancy symptoms, weird dreams, restless leg syndrome, and cramping just to name a few that change up my day. People are still amazed when they find out that I am pregnant. Now granted I have to stand up straight lift my shirt and stick my belly out a ways...but its there! I am starting, emphasise on starting, to show!! At first i lost about eight pounds in the first few weeks of pregnancy but since my last two dr.s appointments i gained 2.5 pounds! Which means I am the weight before I got pregnant. We have an ultrasound on the 3rd of february and a normal check up on the 2nd. Matt is hoping to be there for the ultrasound but command said he can not be there for everything. Which is OK. Just means I have to navigate a navy hospital on my own. YAY! So we should be able to find out the sex of the baby! Which we both want to know by the way. We decided it makes the whole naming and buying thing easier in advance!
When there is more to post i will! Thanks to the lovely internet I get at work!
