| What? I have a blog? Seriously? |
Dear uterus,
Pregnancy has been fun. I mean holy shit have I loved this. It's been amazing. I love the kicks and the questions. I love the kids coming up in groups of 10 wanting to rub my belly. I loved the baby shower and the amazing gifts. I love that I now have a blue room in my house with baby shit all over it. I love the weird food I'm allowed to eat and the fact that I have an excuse to buy whole milk without any guilt.
But the past week or two? Not so much fun. I'm now almost 37 weeks pregnant (full term is 38-42 for those not in the know). It looks like I smuggled a preschooler under my shirt. My back is in pain so constantly that I actually take notice when it doesn't hurt. I haven't slept more than an hour without having to pee so bad it hurts in a month. My feet don't even look like feet anymore. Oh, and in case you didn't notice, it's nearing 100 degrees outside and I work in it every afternoon.
Now I'm not saying that you should give up this kid before he's ready. I'd gladly deal with all of this for another year if it means my baby is healthy and ready for the wide world. But if you could just hurry things along a teeny tiny bit, I'd love you forever. We've always had a love/hate relationship, but you've really come to find my good side since you let me get pregnant so easily after so many years of questions. I promise to make Wolf get fixed so you don't have to deal with hormonal birth control ever again if you just make these last few weeks go by a little bit faster.
Even just knowing when you are close to ready would be great. According to the little due date calculator things, I'm due on 6-7-08. But when I first found out I was pregnant, I started keeping track of the weeks on my calendar. Well guess what? 6-7-08 falls on the day I become 41 weeks pregnant. So does that mean I'm actually due on 5-31-08? If my personal comfort is any indicator, then I was due about a week ago. Are you going to give up this kid anytime soon, or are you going to make me sit and wait until the doctors start pumping me full of all sorts of horrible medication to MAKE you give me my kid? I would love for you and I to continue this path of friendship, my dear uterus, I really would. So if you could just toss me a healthy newborn around the 31st or so, I will totally bake you some cookies as soon as I'm up to it. I promise.
Much love,
VirginiaLabels: Pregnancy |

Don't worry Miss Ann, I'm only going to let them take him early over my dead body! lol. I even plan on having signs hanging saying "NO PITOCIN" all over the room. I'll keep him in there as long as he wants to stay, but it is reasuring that at 37 weeks he can be born with no premie problems!
No box yet, but you know how my mail is. Everything is a day or two late.
