A Case of the Mondays

May the Fourth be with you. It's the new Ides of March.

Well, today may become a very interesting day. We go in for another doctor's visit this morning. Mommy Spoon's blood pressure has been high lately and the doctors aren't very happy about that. They are worried it's a sign of preeclampsia. This isn't a good thing. The condition can be fatal to either mother or the child in utero. Or both. It only occurs with pregnant and post-partum women and the only way to cure it is by inducing labor. 

Which -if that needs to happen- means that we'll be celebrating Baby Spoon's arrival much sooner. Though we aren't too worried. Our Spoon is close enough to the due date that we are secure in having her born now if necessary. This baby ought to be big enough in weight that she'll be fine. Besides... who wouldn't enjoy celebrating their child's birthday on Cinco de Mayo? Keep your prayers with us. -Daddy Spoon
