Hi everyone,
   
  We will be sorry to miss Soren's birthday on Friday, but Michael has a performance that evening.  We will be thinking of you!
   
  Jill for both of us

  Hi all,
I just wanted to give everyone an update. I think there are a few of 
you that might not know that I have had a miscarriage. I went in on 
Sunday and was told "you are probably miscarrying, but there's a 
chance you might have a healthy pregnancy and you're just not as far 
along as you thought." I knew the chances of that were pretty slim 
because I knew exactly when I had taken the test, etc, etc, but it 
wasnt until today that I got confirmation that our baby actually died 
probably about six weeks ago.
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for being such good friends 
to us and for all the love and care you guys have shown. We have 
felt really blessed. It has been especially sweet to see the kids 
reaching out to me with love. I know I can be pretty private 
sometimes, but I appreciate all of you who have been checking on me.
My doctor said it was ok to wait a while and see what happens 
otherwise I may have to have a D&C. Sorry if that is too much info 
for some of you, but many of you have asked if I am feeling okay, so 
the answer to that is yes I feel fine now, but I'm sure I may have 
either recovery to deal with from the D&C or possibly a painful day 
ahead if my body is able to remove things on its own (sorry again for 
two much info!- I guess you guys are all big kids though)
Emotionally, I think I am coping pretty well. I definitely have some 
sad times each day, but also many distractions with 3 boys to care 
for. I am very grateful for them and for having had three healthy 
pregnancies. I have so many friends who have dealt with miscarriage 
that I definitely dont feel alone.
Thanks again to all of you for your kindness.
Love,
Courtney
