The Final Countdown

I'm amazed at how well we've done during the past 9 months. Mommy Spoon has held up wonderfully and been a very patient, kind and foxy mamacita during her pregnancy. The due date is today! And the day has come and gone. Which means that we're playing a whole new ballgame now. I can't decide what to do. Should I convince Baby Spoon to stay in there a few more days so that I can get a few more fabulous photos? Or do I persuade her to make a fantastic entrance to life -one that won't be forgotten? It's quite the conundrum.

Today, the entire day, has been a good one. The doctor's visit left us with good news. We're in the 40th week and doing great. Unless our marvelous Baby Spoon decides to make her debut this weekend, we're looking at being induced for labor on Monday. We thought that best. Mommy Spoon looks lovely pregnant, but Momday is the day. (Did I just spell Momday? Oops, typo) It also happens to be the birthday of Baby Spoon's aunt. So if that is what happens, someone gets to celebrate her sweet 16th with her brand-new niece. Which is pretty fantastic, if you ask me. -Daddy Spoon.

Off to the Doctor's

So this week has come and gone without any news or arrival from our magical Baby Spoon. She seems content to stay where she is, her due date be darned. Today Mommy Spoon and I go to the doctor's for what should be our final check-up visit -though last week they said that they thought our Babykins would be born on Mother's Day weekend. We see how well that happened.

One of the things that Mommy and I think is that Baby may be content to stay put for at least another week. A woman that we spoke with the other day told us that she walked around for 3 weeks dilated at the point that Mommy is now. But the doctor's visit may erase all of that depending on how our visit goes. So we'll see. We may be introducing our Baby Spoon to the world this weekend. We'll keep everyone posted! -Daddy Spoon.

Wordle is the coolest. So is Daddy!

Daddy Spoon found the coolest thing tonight. He stumbled onto Wordle, which creates a cool photo of the words most used in a blog, paragraph or anything else. Here is the link to the wordle that Daddy created from our blog. Hee hee hee, Daddy Spoon is so smart!
Try your own Wordle. It's free, customizable and best of all it's fun!

Mother's Day Photos!

Yesterday was a very good day. Daddy Spoon took some more pictures of Mommy Spoon. They love taking pictures, but I don't like it as much. The camera flash is too bright! I don't like it! I keep seeing spots, and I'm not talking about the puppy dog kind. Oh boy, I sure hope that I don't have to worry about those annoying camera flashes after I'm born.

Look at Mommy! She loves the color pink. I wonder how much I will like that color. I think green is a much better color. But that's just me.

Mommy's belly is soooo big! I am one big Baby Spoon!

Hee hee hee, everyone loves me! Even my Mr. Giraffe! He sings to me and gives me kisses, just like Daddy Spoon does!

Ooooh, Daddy Spoon got creative for Mother's Day! He wrote a note for me. I love my Mommy!!! She takes good care of me! Yes she does!!!

Grandma Spoon is here to give me some attention. It was Mother's Day, but is there a Grandma's Day?
Hee hee hee, it's the chiwoowoo. Killer Khan is used to being the focus of the house. He certainly stole the focus of the camera because Mommy and Grandma are blurry!
*Squeeee* it's Daddy Spoon! He's pointing at me, and I know he loves me! I love him too!
Hee hee, the picture says it all. I love my Mommy Spoon! We had a very nice Mother's Day, and I can't wait to be just as cute for Mommy Spoon next year!

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day! It was such a nice day. Daddy Spoon brought Mommy and Grandma Spoon some flowers, a gift to all the mothers at church. So Daddy grabbed two tiny pansies. I'll skip any bad puns, thank you very much! Tomorrow they will be planted in the ground. They will look so pretty! Perhaps like these flowers someday!
One of the kitties tried eating some of the petals off of the flowers and attacked one. So the flowers were moved outside. Grandma Spoon made dinner tonight and it was very yummy. I am happily snug and content after dinner. I know that everyone wants me to come and introduce myself to the world, but I'm not ready yet. I'll be certain to make my appearance when the time is right! Hee hee hee, I sure know how to keep everyone in suspense!

Ballpoints and Thumbtacks

No news to report so far. Everyone -on both side of the Spoon family- is on pins and needles waiting for news and updates. I think we all feel that our Baby Spoon being born on Mother's Day would be a fantastic thing. We will see. Mommy and I have tried to persuade her about this, but the decision is up to our magical Baby Spoon.

On other news, since we've started the multi-media onslaught to welcome our Baby Spoon to the digital era we have set up another site specifically for photos. All of the wonderful pictures we've posted so far are there. The eventual goal is to teach Baby Spoon how to do all of this by herself someday. Blogging, uploading pictures, editing her own youtube videos, all of it. Only for now -since we're the ones doing this- you can read our blog and order pics from the other site. Visit us at http://thebabyspoon. shutterfly.com and leave some love! Baby Spoon loves her fans! -Daddy Spoon

Chop Suey!

Oh, goodness! Daddy Spoon is so silly. He had to shave off his mutton chops the other day. So now he's showing off his karate chops.

Hee hee hee, look at that. I could take him!
Eeep! Maybe not. (Don't say anything, but Daddy Spoon has stinky feet)
I think Daddy Spoon is silly. He doesn't know karate. Judo what I mean?

Here is a better picture of Daddy. I like watching him take the kitties for a walk. Except this way of walking them is much better than the other way.

Everyone is so silly. I think they are a bit loony waiting for me to arrive! Hee hee hee.
