Baby On The Way

We're expecting! I have now entered the 4th month of pregnancy and Baby Harris is growing like crazy. We had an ultrasound this past Wednesday where they ran a series of tests but Drew and I were more interested in seeing the baby. The entire time he/she was kicking all around, touching his/her face, opening his/her mouth...it was so neat. Drew and I just stare at the tv screen with huge smiles on our faces watching and yes, I have been known to get choked up. I feel so responsible and connected to this little baby already. And I mean little! Baby H is only 3 3/8 inches long right now. :) Drew and I knew we were ready to start trying when he got home from Iraq and we feel so fortunate/lucky/blessed that we were able to get pregnant so quickly. (He got home on a Tuesday and I was pregnant by Friday.) As part of that preparation, I switched over to Drew's insurance since the Army has great baby benefits. I am so happy I did because I now go on base for my OB visits which 1) I love the nurses and my doctor and 2) Drew can come to every appointment! If I had different insurance I would have to go to Savannah and would not be on base. I am soo happy Drew can make it to the appointments. It would be hard to explain how neat it is to see Baby H wiggling around but now he understands first hand. :) Oh and for the common questions- I am due July 22nd and yes, we will find out if it is a boy or a girl around 20 weeks. We figure we have enough unknowns as a military family that this is one thing we can plan for. And unless something changes (which it shouldn't but we're always prepared), Drew is on schedule to be home when the baby is due.
January 14th marked Drew's two years in the military. This blog's title is so fitting because it truly is an adventure. We've moved, traveled, explored new cities, Drew has deployed... and now we are going to have a new addition to the family. Drew and I were talking about how much we've done in the past two years but both agree this adventure is just getting started.
