Week 37: Crossing the Bar
As Week 37 arrives, we are blessed to know that Kerry's pregnancy has officially reached full term, meaning that if born today, baby Jack would have a great chance at making it on his own.
However, there was concern this week as Kerry's blood pressure began to increase. Three separate visits to the hospital were necessary, and officials were concerned about the risks of preeclampsia, but luckily, Kerry and Jack are both in excellent health.
It is with a heavy heart that we podcast tonight. Just when a pregnancy is nearing its critical conclusion, you hope to keep the mother-to-be as calm as can be. However... After a long illness, Kerry's father Warren passed away today. The entire family was already together watching over him. Tonight, we know he is watching over us.
Rest in peace, Dad.
