Rapunzel

Turns out, we are still seeing pink this pregnancy! 
A second ultrasound today confirmed that the little creature currently beating up my uterus is all girl. 
And we couldn't be happier!!

Most importantly, however, our baby is healthy. 
(insert a huge sigh of relief here)

My doctor waived off all talk of a due date because she believes I will not carry this baby to December 18th; most women who are diagnosed with incompetent cervix do not carry their babies to their due date! Remember, labor and deliver is just one stitch away and when that stitch (cerclage) is removed, probably around Thanksgiving, my body will undoubtedly do it's best to evict our little lady as soon as possible. So, we're hoping for an early December due date (around 37 or 38 weeks)

And of course, our little Miss has a top secret name that we will not reveal until she is born! 

In the meantime, we're playfully calling her "Rapunzel" because if heartburn is any indication of how much hair she will have at birth, then she should come into this world plump, screaming and proceeded by enough hair to wrap around the delivery room twice!!
