Last Wednesday we found that Courtney’s blood pressure had risen past a normal, safe level. She was instructed to rest for a couple days and come back Friday. On Friday her blood pressure was still too high. They decided it was safer (for Court’s health) to induce labor early.

While very concerned for Court & Carson’s health, we’re very excited to welcome the little guy into the world.

Over the last couple days I’ve had to quickly wrap things up at work (who through me a surprise party and got us some really nice things), buy a new camera, buy a rocking chair, pick up some other last minute things, and finish up the nursery all while Courtney has been busy resting (and organizing the baby’s closet … shhh).

So here we are. What an awesome first Fathers Day!

Tonight at midnight we’ll head down to Mission Hospital and begin induction. Her OB will come in tomorrow morning and check things out.

When time is available, I’ll post updates here from my phone. For more frequent updates check out my Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/jordanlyall or send me your cell phone # for text updates.

Please keep both Carson and Courtney in your prayers… and, while you’re at it, pray for me too.

Yesterday we had lunch with Courtney’s parents at Tortilla Flats on Lake Mission Viejo. Here are some photos:
