May 18, 2009 ~ Weekly Update #48

I'm working on a new entry and will be getting it out sometime this week, but meanwhile some news...

I just couldn't keep it to myself and had to tell somebody... so why not tell everybody...

We're having a baby tonight! Well, I should say that Jennifer will be induced tonight at 8:00pm.

The reason for being induced is that mommy's blood pressure is continuing to rise... as of right now mommy and baby are doing just fine. The doctor decided to induce now rather than to wait for this pregnancy to turn into an emergency delivery.

Since Jen will be delivering two weeks early Dr. Diana (that's me) thinks little Nathaniel will come into this world weighing around 8 pounds instead of the estimated 9 - 10 pounds the doctors expected him to weigh in at with a full term birth.

I expect this should be a very normal birth with no complications.

However, if you would, please take a moment to pray that all goes well for mommy and baby Nathaniel... you can also pray that daddy won't pass out and for grandma (that's me) to have the strength I need to enjoy each moment of the next couple days.

Love to you all,

The most excited grandma on the face of this earth!
