For those of you who don't already know...........
CLAIRE IS GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER!

I am just about 5 months pregnant now. The due date for our baby girl (yes, we're expecting another GIRL!) is July 29th. The pregnancy so far has been full of ups and downs with my doctors taking every precaution imaginable to help me carry this pregnancy to term. Most recently I have undergone a surgery called a trans-abdominal cerclage where a surgeon placed a "loop" around my cervix by going through my abdomen. It was a pretty scary procedure, (especially when pregnant!) and one that is used only in very specific medical conditions like my own, but one that has a very high success rate when implemented. Recovery has been rough, (I am 6 days post-surgery today), but the advantage of this type of cerclage is a very high likelihood of a full term baby with NO BEDREST!
