surprise! it's a girl!

Mikey and I are so excited to announce that we are expecting a BABY GIRL this August! After the complications we had with Devan's pregnancy we are taking all the necessary precautions with this one. I am seeing a high risk OBGYN at the hospital and I really love the practice. That was one of my main concerns moving because my physician's back in Arlington knew my history and story and they had a plan. But right from the start my new OB set my mind at ease and it has been nothing but positive experiences. I had the cerclage placed at 14 weeks and so far everything has been stable with no issues. I am on restricted activity but no bed rest so far and I'd definitely like to keep it that way. We are so unbelievably excited to be having a girl! She is perfect in every way and growing strong and healthy. We are a little nervous, but everything has been going so great that we decided to announce that we are expecting a girl at Logan's 3rd birthday party. I made some homemade "gender reveal" cupcakes with pink frosting in the middle and told everyone when they arrived that there was something "special" about the cupcakes.  It was a fun way to include our family and friends and very memorable.  We are so blessed and thankful to God for a healthy pregnancy so far and continue to pray that everything will stay that way resulting in a healthy full term baby girl. We truly believe in the power of prayer so please keep us in your prayers.  In the meantime I am going a little "girl crazy" planning the nursery, picking out girl clothes and accessories and let's just say my Esty cart is getting slightly out of control with monogrammed and embroidered items! Yay for little girls!
