The Birds and the Bees...and duck, duck, GOOOOSE!!!

I had a GREAT weekend! Did you? Mommy and Daddy had a special "Lilly Bean Day" on Saturday with me since it might be the last time I get a whole day with both of them all to myself before Little Sister gets here. It was also the last whole day (and the first in way too long) that Mommy and Daddy and me got to spend time together just us! Daddy has been working so much.

First on Saturday we went to the Children's Museum in Cincinnati which is AWESOME! More on that later, though... I took a good nap on the hour and a half back to Louisville and since it was still early Mommy and Daddy thought hey, let's go to the Zoo! I love the zoo! And I got a special treat at the Zoo! I got to learn about the Birds and the Bees...from the gorillas! That was thanks to Mommy! Leave it to Mommy!

At the zoo, you can get up real close to the gorillas. Well, the BIG gorilla (in the second picture) went after a little gorilla who Mommy thought was a baby gorilla. Turns out, she wasn't! And BIG gorilla started having his way with little gorilla but not before Mommy got all excited and said, "Look, Lilly! She's going to cuddle her baby." Well, "she" was not a "she" at all and all the other kids came to see what was happening and then - bow chick a wow wow (insert mood music here)... "Mommy, what's the gorilla doing?" Said the little boy next to us... Um, oops... So now I know how baby gorillas are made and my poor little eyes are still burning from the experience.

On to the goose!!

This is Mommy's Doctor's office. See the rope and the cones? That is to prevent people from approaching those three columns you see there in the turn-around...see below...

If you look real hard at the middle pillar, you'll see a Momma goose sitting on her eggs in her nest! Well, geese are mean, dirty and nasty creatures. Mommy hates geese. Always has. Stupid geese. Well Mr. Goose was hanging around outside of the door on Friday to protect his Momma and their eggs (BEFORE building management roped off the entrance) and Mommy got attacked by Mr. Goose! This is in itself actually very hilarious to picture a big, fat pregnant lady running away yelling from a biting, hissing goose. But it lost the funny when Mommy got into the Dr's office and the nurse said, "Hmm...your blood pressure is kind of high today." Mommy thought nothing of her brush with Goose Death in the parking lot being the actual cause of this condition. So on she went to her examination room where Dr. walked in all concerned and said, "Hmm...your blood pressure is really high today..." Mommy still clueless. Then Dr. says, "Well, I'm kind of concerned. Your blood pressure is really high and there's protein in your urine (TMI? Sorry) and this late in your pregnancy that makes you a candidate for induction. As you know, I'm leaving tomorrow for vacation...so, you think you're ready to have a baby this afternoon?" Mommy thought about it, "No, sorry, that does not work with my schedule." Dr. says, "Well, your blood pressure is cause for concern." THEN the lightbulb went off in Mommy's head! "Umm...this is a little embarassing but I just got attacked by a goose on my way into the office, could that have raised my blood pressure?" Dr., trying not to laugh in Mommy's face and feign real concern said, "Well...maybe? Why don't you wait an hour and we'll retake it?" So an hour later, Mommy's blood pressure was back to normal. Which means it was the stupid goose. My sister almost came early all on account of a dumb goose. And in case you didn't believe the severity of the attack, the parking lot is still roped off so no car can go through.

All for today!

Love,

Lilly
