In case you missed it, here is an article about Emma's surgery in the Austin American Statesman! We are hoping that by sharing our story it will bring awareness to all of the advances in medicine that are able to help and even save unborn children! God created every baby for a purpose, and every baby deserves the chance to fight! We know He has big plans for Emma Grace!

We had another appointment yesterday to check on Emma, and no surprise, she is still doing great! Her shunts are still in place, keeping the fluid out of her chest and belly. The fluid around her has gone down a lot, which is making my breathing a little easier too. They measured her during the ultrasound and she weighs approximately 3 lbs. 15 oz., which is in the 95th percentile! She is a big girl, just like her big sister! We are still praying that she stays put until I am at least 36 weeks along, so we will schedule the C-Section for end of June or early July.

A lot of you have been asking about the shots I have to give myself daily to prevent blood clots. They are not fun by any means, but the pain only lasts a little while so it is just one more little thing I have to do to keep myself and Emma healthy!

Here is a picture of our little angel:

Thank you for continuing to pray for Emma Grace and our family. God has given us so much strength and comfort through this journey, and we are so blessed by the support and constant encouragement of our friends and family!
