Re: Open Letter Wednesday
Dear mother nature,
You do realize that it's October right? And that 90 degrees is not normal? Can you fix that and bring in some cooler weather already?
Much thanks, pregnant mama who is ready for relief!
Dear DS,
What happened?!?! You slept through the night twice and now we are back to waking up again????? Please please please tell mommy what I need to do to help you sleep! I can't take it anymore!!
Love you always, mommy
Dear DS2,
I think DS2 is going to be your name since your stubborn father and I can't agree on anything! Everything I come up with he shoots down. Everything he comes up with is just awful. Sorry little buddy. Hopefully we will agree on something soon.
Love, mama
Stop running your fingers along the side of my cube as you walk to the printer every 15 minutes, or you will see me leap over the wall and chop those fingers off with my scissors.
That is all.
Love,

Another Amen here! I am in Orlando and it's just still so gross out. And yes, thanks rain, my hair is extra frizzy this week!
Dear Manager,
I hope in today's meeting you are not a belligrent jerk and realize that you are not going to get your way. Please don't try to tell me that what your employee says is their job is not really what they are doing and you can describe it better.
Signed,

Dear in-home daycare provider,
I send extra frozen milk if DD2 needs it. I know things get busy, but if you defrost it, you need to use it. This is 3 times now that we have had to dump perfectly good breastmilk because you go to defrost it and realize that DD2 isn't hungry. I would give it to her after I pick her up, but when we are home together I like to nurse her.
Dear work,
After calling me in on my maternity leave to see how flexible I was upon my return, please don't get crotchy with me when I stick to what I told you then. I said 2 months ago I wasn't going to be flexible until DD2 is a little older. My DH works 2 jobs and for me to come work overnights is just not going to be possible at this time. Period.
Goodbye little angel(7/22/2011)....see you in heaven
Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
Dear DH,
Thank you so much for getting up with Peanut last night so that I could sleep until 430 for my swim class...that you also graciously allow me to take knowing you'll have to get LO ready and yourself ready on your own. You're a rock star!
Love,
your much appreciative wife
Dear LO,
I cannot believe you've been teething this whole time without a peep! Found out solely because Daddy felt a tooth last night.
Love you infinity!
Dear Co-Worker,
I have 5 days left here. Yes, you see me sitting at my desk, but I have already checked out. Stop giving me things to do and go away.
Signed,
Your Soon-to-Be Ex Co-Worker
Dear Boss,
Sorry my sub left (because you are a jerk). I will not be returning to work three weeks early just because. Also, I will not be attending the after school meeting on Friday. I know anybody who cared about their job would (insert sarcasm), but I am not coming. And, I did not "choose" to have a c/s so that I could have two extra weeks.
Sincerely, I really hate you and don't want to come back
Dear LO,
Just wanted to say you are gorgeous. Thank you for sleeping five hours last night. Mommy really needed that. Hope you behave at the funeral today so that I'm not embarrassed. I have high hopes.
Love, Mommy
Dear Anonymous Coworker -
It's really not nice to steal someone else's lunch out of the common fridge. But to steal a pregnant woman's food, well, you're taking your life in your hands. Eating has become a real chore for me, and the ONLY thing I was looking forward to was my awesome left over food from my awesome birthday dinner out... and you stole it.
Also, it's really gross to eat a some random person's 1/2 eaten meal. Ew. Who are you??
You'd better pray that I never figure out who you are.
Signed,
Don't F With A Pregnant Lady's Lunch
Agreed to both! It's way to hot out right now, please let the autumn weather begin now that it's OCTOBER!!! I'd also LOVE if my DH could agree to ANY of the names I try to come up with... Off to the library to review a baby name book and give him a huge master list to see what he vetos again.
Dear coworkers,
Yes, I will be taking maternity leave in December when my DD2 is due.... and yes I'm planning on utilizing my full FMLA benefits and being out for 12weeks. Please don't b**ch at me for taking this time to bond with my daughter... I will be returning, so you will only have to cover for me that short amount of time.... I have been covering for you when you take month long vacations, please understand this isn't a "vacation" i'm taking, it's recovering from birth and getting into a routine and loving on my girls.
Sincerely,
frustrated pregnant coworker who is already ready for her maternity leave to begin
Dear DD1,
Mommy loves you dear sweet girl, please continue to progress to sleeping in your own big girl bed at night, and stop coming into mommy & daddy's room at 2am crying and upset. We really love you to pieces, but just want you to get the sleep you need. It would be nice if you could get into a nice bedtime routine before your little sister comes and makes everyone's schedule different.
Love,
Your mommy who loves you and wants as much sleep for everyone in the house
Dear DH,
I love you. and I appreciate you putting DD1 back to bed last night so I could sleep.
Love,
Your appreciative and loving wife
My Confession:
A couple days ago I had my daughter in my arms and needed to open a package using scissors, instead of laying her down (which I should have done) I cut the package with her up, she moved her hand and I cut her, it bled a little
She didnt even cry, I felt and still feel so bad! 
I hope she doesnt scar...
Dear Dh:
Thank you soo much for giving me the ok to try to take my leave a week early! I really could use the extra time with DS#1 and to rest a little!-- Oh, but that unpacking thing you keep discussing. Let's talk about that....
Your loving wife!
Dear Co-workers:
You bet your happy @sses that I will be doing what I need to do to get my Dr to write me out of work starting next Monday!! Best of luck to you and see you after the 1st of the year!!!
Dear Dr:
Please understand that I've been through hell and back these past 8 months and if you could just do me one little favor and write me out of work to spend sometime with my family I'd greatly appreciate it! Plus, my back is killing me at work and I am so stinkin uncomfortable!
Your patient
Dear The Two Little People In My Belly,
Do either of you ever sleep? I feel like you're constantly kicking mommy.
