Open Letter...
Dear DS,
You are the best baby boy that mommy could ever ask for, but I'm exhausted! I really thought we had finally found a nice rhythm at night. For a week you were waking around 1 am and 5 am, which was much better than 3 random wake-ups a night. The last three nights have been a mess. Mommy needs more than 2-3 hour stretches of sleep, and so do you!
We can play all day long, but lets sleep at night, ok? Even though mommy loves to see your big cheesy grin and dimples 
Love you so much,
Mommy

Re: Open Letter...
When I call you (on my regularly scheduled day off) to tell you I have some crazy virus and have been ordered by my dr to stay home *at least* one more day, that does not mean I'm available or even able to come in at 10am the next day.
Also, let's remember our communicable disease outbreak over the last 2 months and how we JUST sent a lecture-y email to all our infant parents about respecting our 24 hour fever-free rule. I told you I have not been fever free for even 12 hours, so why would you want me there? You'll be fine for ratios, I already worked that out for you, so suck it up and survive one more day without me. Signed, Sick. (And tired of you.)

Dear Body,
27 is too young to be falling apart. A 5th MRI in a calendar year is a bit much. I've been good to you-I almost always get 8+ hrs sleep, drink limited caffeine and alcohol, and workout regularly. Can you please throw me a bone soon? We have another 100+ years together so you might as well get on board.
Love,
Me
Dear Son,
I know you're cozy all up in there. But it's time to come out.
Love,
Mommy
Dear Cervix,
Let my effing child out. I know all those kegels I've done make you feel strong and everything, but CTFO.
Signed,

Dear Body,
Thank you for being so awesome during pregnancy. You rock.
Smooches,
Moi
52 Choices For Better Health
Dear Body,
Please stop catching every available germ out there. I'm tired of being the sickly one in our family. I'm feeding you good food and lots of vitamins and other nice supplements. I'm doing my best to get as much sleep as possible. Work with me here. I've been sick since Saturday, and it's now Tuesday. I'm tired of this sh*t.
Love,
Me

Dear Uterus,
Stop bleeding. Oh and ovaries, get with the program.
Love, Christina
Dear Aunt Flow,
You're a mean b!tch. I wish you would go away permanently since I don't need you anymore. Your emotions and cramps can suck it.

ME
Dear BF,
If I haven't told you yet today, you are amazing and I'm crazy stupid in love with you. I have no idea what I did ever did to deserve you but I'm going with it and loving every second. Thank you for loving me and my crazy a** more than I ever thought anyone could love me.
Love,
Austx
P.S. - You are hot as hell!
Dear DH,
I could not be more excited for you that you start your new job today. If it is half as great as you think it will be, it is going to be the best thing that has happened to us in years. But if it is not, I do not want to hear one second of you b!tching about it. You better come with with a big fat smile on your face and tell me how awesome it is. Thanks.
Dear daughter,
Please take a nap today. You really need it.
Dear daughter's-not-yet-visible-teeth,
Please hurry the eff up and break through, so my daughter will sleep.
Dear body--
Choose one please: either let AF show her head or produce enough of the chemical to give me my bfp--I'm sick of being in limbo. It's not helping my productivity at work, and I have a million things to get done over the next 2 weeks.
Love, me.
Dear Hormones,
Thank you SO SO SO much for going easy on me the last 3 days! I feel better than I have in 4+ months and it's good to feel human again. I don't know what inspired you to up and leave Sunday morning, but feel free to stay gone as long as you'd like
Tired of postpartum hormones,

Dear Mind,
Just three more weeks and I promise I will give you the happy meds you need! If you could just go into a happy zen place in the mean time, I would be most appreciative.

Dear Body,
Please stop acting out with some new ailment just to prove the existence of a mind-body connection. I get it already!

Yay!
Dear Mom,
I don't like that you have foster children. I know you get fulfillment out of helping children less fortunate and in need, but I really wish they weren't there when DD comes to visit. DD would like your undivided attention. Not to mention I desperately need a break right now and you're the only person I can leave DD with. But instead, your schedule is filled with their daily activities, and you seem to have no time to babysit.
Your selfish daughter (and grand daugher)

Dear Unappreciative highlevel person,
I understand that the issue I pushed up to you, made you laugh and angry. I did it because I had a social responsibility to push it up. You made the choice to proceed. Great. I am fine with that. But if you dont stop bringing up the issue to every tom,dickand harry, especially around me, I am gonna scream.
It is dead, over and done with. Please let it go away.
Signed
Tired of this drama
Married and it feels so good!
Dear Wal-Mart/HEB/restaurant employees-
You work in the customer service industry! It is not cool to run over your customers. If the situation arises it should be common sense that you stop, let the customer pass, and continue about your way!
Signed,
the preggo wondering WTF happened to customer service these days!
Dear airport peeps-
If you opt to ride the moving walkway at the airport, please move to the side even it it means you are not side by side with your friend and it is inconvenient to talk to them! You are not the only person in the airport and there might be a pregnant person behind you that has to pi$$ like a racehorse...kindly move your arse to the side!
Signed,
pregnant and hormonal!
