Baby Bean

Hey Little Guy,

"I'm back, baby...I'm back!" said by Mom, on Friday. September 30th, referring to the 'return on her sense of humor'. September wasn't such a fun month for Mom and below are some of the highlights and lowlights:

We had a scare on the Friday 2nd, of the long Labor Day weekend, which turned out to be a blood clot. Very scary for us but to see your movement, on the ultrasound in Emergency, made it worthwhile. Little did we know that we were going to be in the Emergency three, yes 3, more times in the month of September due to one worry after another. There are a number of people who work in Emergency who are very excited to meet you :)

Really the only upside to all of the Emergency and doctor visits was watching your growth through ultra sound. Mom has posted some great pics...my favorite was you giving Val the peace sign...or the "Mom, everything is going to be OK sign."

Poor Val -- her flawless complexion now occasionally has some pimples. According to Val it is the first time that she has blemishes on her face. She still looks beautiful though!

Your Mom also has a great sense of humor --> I purchased some small lollypops which would color your tongue...especially the blueberry ones which, of course, Mom loves. After one of her bad nausea spells Mom says in a deadpan voice, "I've never had blue vomit before...". Very, very funny!

A "Thank you!" to you is in order as, like in the Grinch who Stole Christmas, Mom's heart has grown threefold since you've been around. Mom used to be able to watch the saddest of movies without her eyes even getting moist. Now, every Sunday on Extreme Makeover (TV show where a less fortunate family receives a new custom built house) Mom cries and cries out of love. Finally, Mom has a heart! She even cries on lost doggies commercials!

Grandma Tuli and Auntie Mombo went on a shopping spree for you no less than in Argentina! I think you will have more clothes than me by the time you are born. So, better start practicing your penmanship in there as you have many thank you letters to write. See pics below!
