First off, thank you everyone of the congratulations and well wishes. Being able to share our joy has been amazing.

Wednesday, I was admitted to the hospital to have my cerclage put in. It was a fairly simple procedure, and I was released that evening. I had to have an epidural, so that kinda sucked, but otherwise it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I’m a little achy and sore and REALLY tired, but otherwise not too bad. I’ve been on bed rest at home the past couple days as a precaution, but I should be able to get back to normal by the end of the weekend. Shawn has been absolutely amazing through all of this. He took off of work to stay here with me and has been beyond attentive . . . thank you, my wonderful husband.

I have to say that I’m much relieved now that the cerclage is in place. It gives me a little extra reassurance that things will go better this time around. I know that we still have a long way to go until March, but I feel like we have a great plan in place to get us there. I am looking forward to sharing more of the journey with you all.
