All Quiet on the Western Front

Well, we are back from the doctor's visit for today. Things are progressing naturally, and smoothly according to them. That's fine by us, since we were worried that today would turn into an induced labor. The thought made the both of us very nervous. Fortunately that won't be the case. Mommy Spoon is just about ready to introduce Baby Spoon to the world. Perhaps as soon as this weekend!

Of all the possible days for our Baby Spoon to be born, it's probably gonna be on Mother's Day. How cool is that? XD -Daddy Spoon

S'more, s'more! Some more!

Hee hee hee, Mommy Spoon is so silly. I love her, but she is silly. After dinner tonight, she made s'mores for dessert and they were oh so tasty!!! But they were oh so melty too!!! Mommy tried to share them with me, but the s'mores dripped everywhere! On the chair, on her jeans, it was oh so silly. Grandma Spoon and Daddy Spoon both laughed with Mommy at how funny it was. And even more when Daddy suggested different ways to clean up the spilled melt chocolate. Until they were red in the face. Mommy couldn't laugh as much as they could. Something keeps her from having belly laughs, and I think it's me. (See me here? Don't Mommy and I look cute?) Hee hee.

Hee hee hee, silly Mommy Spoon. I love you! I can't wait for you to be my Mommy after I'm born! You are such a good Mommy already!

Pictures for this week!

Sorry, everyone! This has been a busy week and I haven't been able to get Daddy Spoon to post new pictures of me. We shot some pics on Monday. Here they are! (Well, some of them. More to post tomorrow! Hee hee hee!!)
Mommy Spoon looks lovely. Daddy caught her glowing again. She is radiant and beautiful!
I think Mommy sees me! I know she can certainly see me kick and push around in there. Hee hee hee!

Daddy Spoon includes himself in the action. Hey! He's giving me a hug! *squeeee!* We love each other soooo much! I can't wait to be held by my Mommy and Daddy!

Just another manic monday...

Well, the good news is that I get to stay happily snug where I am! Yay! Turns out today is just another manic Monday. The doctors decided that they don't want to induce labor -which is fine with me, because Mommy and I can have more bonding time. I like where I am. I have a womb all to myself! Hee hee hee. 

Mommy and Daddy Spoon are relieved that we all aren't being rushed into the delivery room today. The doctors want to see us again on Friday though. They aren't completely satisfied with the testing Mommy was put through last week. They are making sure that preeclampsia isn't something that Mommy and I are going through. So Mommy and Daddy's orders from the doctor are to stay active, walk and do what they can to help prep me for my arrival. Hopefully by Friday we'll all be in a better position for whatever may come. : )

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

Mamacita... (what does that mean?)

Mommy and Daddy Spoon took some more pictures of me yesterday. We're getting closer and closer to celebrating my arrival in person, so they went to a nice park yesterday to take advantage of the wonderful weather.

Rawr! Look out people. Mamacita in action! (What does mamacita even mean? I don't speak the Spanish language. Just the Cute one)

Oooh, look! Mommy is so beautiful, she glows! (Daddy says she is so heavenly, it's hard to see her through all the clouds. Mommy Spoon always rolls her eyes when he says things like that)

Mommy Spoon really likes this picture. Daddy says she is a gorgeous and elegant lady. The photos prove it!
Oh, hee hee hee, something funny happened while we were taking pics near the cherry blossom tree. Another couple (a cowboy and his girl) walked near us, but stopped on the bridge to kiss for a long time.

I had to cover my eyes.

When they passed by, looking at me Daddy Spoon said to Mommy, "Look what they have to look forward to in a few months." Immediately after that another lady passed by with her new baby, pushing the lil guy in a stroller. Without missing a beat, Daddy said, "And that's what we have to look forward to in a few months!" The woman heard Daddy, then stopped and asked Mommy Spoon when I was due. It was very funny!

After that park, we went to a beach. It was near the mountains. Hee hee hee, see? Look, it's Mt. Rainier in the background! I'm bigger though! I've grown a lot this week!

After a nice walk along the waterfront, Mommy Spoon stopped to strike a thoughtful pose. I wonder if she's daydreaming about me or her sexy man that's taking all these lovely pictures of her!
The three of us had a great time. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing. We even drove by a zoo that I will get to visit someday. I can't wait! Daddy Spoon took some nice pictures of the animals at the park we went to. Here they are for you to see!

There were a lot of birds there. I couldn't feed any though. We didn't have any birdseed. Too bad... maybe next time.
And this is where we saw a Cullen. Daddy says that they are very fast, hard to photograph and shimmer in the sunlight.

Wait. Mommy glows! And in the sunlight! Is she a Cullen too? (Daddy said no. Mommy Spoon is not a Cullen. Mommy is a hottie, according to Daddy. Oh. Ok. If Daddy says so then it is a fact)

Yes, Daddy Spoon is right. Mommy is a hottie. You can't argue with a photograph.

Well, that was our photo excursion. (I used a big word! Hee hee hee) We had a grand time!

Again, again... again?

We went to the doctors again today! No, silly, not that doctor. He's too cranky.

Or that one. He's too mean.

What?! No!! Not that one either. What kind of health care service do you think goes on around here?!? This isn't Florida, you know!

Yes, finally. One of those kinds of doctors. THE NICE ONES.  »»{o.O}««  **ears fuming**

Well, now that we're back on track... and not having any computer problems... It was a long visit today. The doctor/people down in Florida still haven't sent Mommy Spoon's test results to our clinic here. So today the doctor had to do a lot of those tests all over again. The doctors here have been very thorough. I have two weeks to go and they were making sure everything is going splendidly. 

They did blood work, cancer testing, tests for something bad called preeclampsia and even checked inside to make sure I was pointing the correct direction. They put Mommy through the gamut. (What does gamut mean? Is it like a peanut or something?) Anyways, the people at the clinic like us! They wanted to make sure that everything goes perfect when I arrive! (And with Mommy gaining almost ten pounds since the visit last week, you can bet everyone wants me to arrive soon!)

So we had a fun time, but it was a long visit. Mommy took a nap after we got home. Daddy took good care of her the entire time. Like he always does. It makes me happy that Daddy loves Mommy so much. And I can tell Mommy loves Daddy as much too. Sometimes he takes her breath away! (Or that might be me. I am sitting on Mommy's lungs and ribcage now)

Our next doctor's visit is on Monday. Mommy has a homework assignment over the weekend, to help with the testing that the doctors did today. Depending on the tests, Monday may turn out to be a very interesting day for Mommy, Daddy and myself. Otherwise, the coast is smooth sailing. We will find out then.
