We’re broadcasting at the moment and Jennifer is having contractions approximately every 10 minutes. She just started standing to bring on more contractions. We’re praying for hard labor by the end of the program!

  • As your producer… I expect the best broadcast possible each and every day… With that said, I expect labor TODAY! And if its not today then postpone labor until Monday. That shouldnt be too hard to accommodate…Thanks!

  • as a mother of 4 and I am sure you know this as well…walking is GREAT!!!! as I just heard from Greg now that you are back. My fourth child’s labor stopped so I got up and walked for about an hour SWIFTLY and my water broke about 10 minutes after I stopped so…that is my advice and I wish you the best of luck and a blessed event!

  • 8 minutes? Better get going! Don’t want to have that baby on the side of the highway! Praying for you both!

  • Good luck!!! How far is the hospital from your studio?

    Our hospital is out of town about 20-30 mins… lol… but my labor was 24+hrs long. :-O Alex was so stubborn, 10 days later after due date and he had to be pulled out with a suction cap on his head…. 😉 lol!

    GOD BLESS!

  • God bless you both. I didn’t win the prediction poll, but I ‘ll bet it will be a priest that wins it. Like on the TV show MASH where Fr. Mulchay won the baby poll becuase he said he knew alot about conception (Immaculate, I would suppose).

  • Thoughts and prayers will be with you! We’re all excited to hear the big announcement! Oh yeah! Ustreaming live would’ve been great!!!

  • If I was a mother of four already and contractions 10 mins. apart, I’d be on the way to the hospital! You’re a brave woman! Allison had Cooper on 1/21/09, and they are coming home today. All is well. Best of luck with that adorable baby girl! See you soon!

  • We are on the way for my little eye surgery & will drop something off in the mailbox unless Jennifer is still out walking. mom

  • Jennifer, you’re my hero!! I was not a happy lady any of the three times I was in labor and here you are on the air! What a trooper!!!!! Walk, walk, walk and get that baby out!!! God bless you both and warmest baby wishes!

  • Power walking?? Jennifer, what a wimp!! 🙂 Power JUMPING!!! Bungee Jump if at all possible…and yes, Miriam Therese is a GREAT name!
    Peace in Christ.

  • Good luck, guys!! I’ll be praying for you!! I can’t believe what a trooper you are Jennifer! If I were in your shoes there’s NO WAY I would be working OR chipper! You’re a gem!!

  • Man! We just got back from my daughter’s 7 1/2 month ultraound (she’s working on child #2), and she was sighing because she had to go to work today. You are hardcore, Jen! We’re praying for a wonderful labor, easy delivery, short recovery and a lifetime of love with your new little girl. Blessings-Debi and Karla (Paducah, KY)

  • Greg and Jennifer,
    Best of Luck with the labor and delivery. Will keep checking the website over the weekend to see what happens. I will say a prayer for you that it will be over by tomorrow morning. Maybe she is waiting for 12:01 a.m. to hit her due date.

    Best of Luck

  • Walk up and down the stairs, or on some other un-even surface. It gets the pelvis rocking and helps the baby get into position!

  • offering my afternoon rosary for the Willits!!

    excited to hear when baby girl willits is in the arms of her parents!

    God bless you.

  • You go girl. We are all praying for you. If nothing happens before you go crazy, try raspberry wine to induce labor and raspberry tea to help calm you during labor. My sister-in-law with 7 kid swears by this and it helped me with my 3.

    God Bless.

  • Queue up John Williams w/the “Superman” movie soundtrack!! 😉 “Faster than a runaway toddler! Able to cook. . .” wait a minute – I think that’s been done already! LOL

    All our prayers,

    Dan and family!
