The Countdown Begins

As many of you know, Jill is very close to the end of her 4th pregnancy. On Wednesday her blood pressure was high enough for the doctor to admit her to the hospital, but he just ordered her to go on bedrest. He scheduled a c-section for July 21st. This causes a problem with our birthdays (6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th). I've long predicted that this one would come July 16th.

So today Jill went to the doctor again and her blood pressure was way down which is a good sign. It means the blood is circulating well. Jill was debating on whether to go to dinner and a movie tonight or stay home. After the appointment she decided she wants to go eat dinner and see Pirates. So we're going to test the "Olive Garden Theory." After eating Olive Garden's salad, Jill went into labor with Emma. As you may know, Emma was about two and a half weeks early. We ate at Olive Garden on a Saturday night and by Monday morning Jill was in the hospital.

We'll let you know how it all goes! Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts!

SORRY Olive Garden Salad didn't work, but good to visit with you on the phone. See you in a week.
