Bringing Up Bates fans heard some big news from Katie Bates Clark on Friday night. She revealed that it’s officially baby time! Keep reading for all of the details, and scroll down to see the sweet photos she shared too.

Back in August, Katie and her husband Travis Clark announced that they are expecting their first child. They later shared that it’s a girl and they’re naming her Hailey James. Her due date is March 4, but it looks like she’s coming early. Recently, Katie told fans that she was in pre-term labor. Later, her doctor informed her this was likely due to her having three infections. Once they began treating the infections, the labor signs subsided. However, now things are moving along for real.
