Feels Like Summer

We have some exciting news!!! We will be welcoming a baby GIRL to our family in November!!! We got the 100% confirmation from the doctor today. I'm so excited for Natalee to have a little sister. Everything looks great with the baby. She is growing perfectly.

On to the not so great news... It looks like we will be in for a pregnancy similar to the pregnancy with Natalee. I had been noticing what I thought may be contractions for the past couple weeks. I mentioned it at my appointment today and they checked my cervical length just to be safe. I was very hopeful that I had been paranoid for no reason. It turns out my length went from 3.5 to 2.75 in a 3 week period. Anything below 3.0 is cause for concern. Most women have a length between 3.5 and 4.0 up until about 35 weeks. I will begin seeing a perinatologist next week in addition to my high risk doctor. We are taking every precaution necessary. At this point I don't have to go on bed rest (thank the lord). I was advised to cut my activity in half and stop working out. Hopefully this will do the trick for a while.

Here are a few pictures from our beach trip to Hilton Head. Natalee loved the beach! She cried when we would drag her up to the condo for a nap. The minute she woke up each morning she went straight for her shovel and headed for the balcony to point to the beach. We were really able to enjoy the beach and watch her play in the sand. I hope we are able to take another beach vacation before the summer is over.
