It is official! We are having a baby! Thought we'd share with the rest of you, so you can all be happy for us. :) I know it seems crazy that in a time like this we'd be having another child, but we are so excited. The baby is due in the beginning of Feb. and we can hardly wait!! I was hoping to record baby's heartbeat at my recent appointment and play it to Al on the phone afterwards, but the nurse couldn't find it (the heartbeat), so they ordered an ultrasound to make sure all was OK. I think our Father was just making sure I could send some pictures to Al! :) Even after having 4 children, the miracle of baby growing inside, hidden from all, doesn't stop amazing me.
Al has had some issues getting access to the internet lately and I forgot my password :), so this is Helen updating for Al. They have had a few exciting training exercises and the latest was in Combat Life Saving skills. They got to stick each other with needles, setting up IVs. The soldiers were broken down in teams of two, and Al got stuck with the needle NINE times by his battle buddy! I bet he looked like a heavy drug user by the end of the day. LOL
