27 June 08 - Baby

Well guess what. Nikki's pregnant again. She's been pregnant for about 11 weeks now, and all is going well. We were quite worried for the first few weeks, especially the week 8 area. That's when we lost the other 2 pregnancies. Now that we've passed the 8 week mark, we're getting really excited.


Nikki went to the doctor yesterday and had an ultrasound today. Everything's perfectly normal. The baby's 35.6 mm long and has a heart rate of 161. It looks like a little golf-ball size alien. Everybody thinks it's a girl, but I'm kind of hoping for a boy. Honestly, though, I just want a baby with no more problems. I'll take what I can get.

This evenings quite an interesting one. There's a lightning storm in the mountains near us. It's pretty crazy because the sky's constantly lit up. It might work its way over to where I'm staying.

As far as the war is concerned, things are pretty calm in my region. Honestly, our base has only been attacked once by mortars (and they were way inaccurate) and that's it. I haven't fired a shot (and I'd like to keep it that way).
