Annie-Come-Lately

Today's the due date. Where's Annie? Sitting comfortably in the womb. But we're not in a hurry anymore. Because as they say, "a watched birth-canal never delivers."

As you may have read previously, Kara's blood pressure was high for a while and there was talk of inducing her. It culminated Sunday afternoon when her blood pressure reached 157/95. This is quite high and it made us nervous. So, after church (our service is at night), some of our friends prayed for Kara. Praise God, her blood pressure has been down ever since!!! We borrowed a portable blood pressure machine to keep tabs on it. And it has been around 125/80 consistently since Sunday night. Yesterday, we had a checkup at the ob/gyn and everything looked great. The doctor expressed his relief.

So, now that we're not worried, we can wait. Maybe the whole 15th or 18th thing (see "Babies are Neat") applies to May instead of April.
