Re: Open letter Wednesday
I know you mean well and you are very good. But saying J has to grow out of his reflux is heartbreaking, especially when I have to watch him squirm for hours.
No love,
Miserable preemie mom
Dear mom,
I love you but you are suffocating me with constant questions about J. Please stop, thanks a bunch. I am already having panic attacks. The real kind.
Frazzled daughter/mother
Boo boo,
I love you. Please grow a bigger stomach.
Mama
Your comment about hoping I felt as wonderful as I looked made my entire week, and I wanted to hug you. I'm sorry if I surprised you when I laughed while blurting out "I really don't, but thank you!" 35-36w pregnant problems. Still, thank you for being so kind.
Signed,
The girl who needed the compliment
Dear baby,
You've got two weeks before I decide to reach up my vaghole and pull you out. I know you need a little more time as an inside baby, but for real, I'm done.
Love,
Ready to have you in my arms
Yes you, the one who "needed" to take an entire day off to go to the dentist today, and the other one who has been calling in sick every other week, when we are already short staffed due to an injury (in an office with only 5 nurses as it is). I am telling you now, you're going to put me off work early and then you, the ONE reliable nurse left on our staff besides me, and all of our poor patients are going to suffer. Can't we all be team players for 3 more weeks??
Do your freaking jobs.
Dear Self,
Time to start thinking of your own health and health of LO. If the stress of work puts you into early labour you'll hate yourself for not listening to your body. Time to slow down and calm down, and your coworkers will just have to deal with picking up the slack.
Thank you for turning head down. Pretty please stay that way for the next few weeks. Oh and if you want to come on your brothers time line around 37 weeks 4 daysish I wouldn't be opposed. Can't wait to meet you!!
Love,
Your Mommy
Dear Mom,
Thank you so much for letting us stay with you during house construction. You are just the best with having dinner for us nightly and even doing laundry. I know you know you don't have to, but you really are the best mom ever and I really hope I am just like you to my own kids!
Love,
Your super in debt to you daughter

Thank you for still being asleep. But next time could you not wake up and cry for 30 seconds at 5 am, just long enough to wake me up? I've now been awake for almost 3 hours while you snooze blissfully.
Lots of love,
Mommy
Stop being so stubborn! Please flip head down! And stay that way
Love,
Your uncomfortable mother

Dear DH's boss,
Thank you for giving DH unlimited overtime, instead of making him call in each week to get it approved. The extra money will be greatly appreciated. However, how am I supposed to manage taking care of the house and kids and get to my water class and doctor's appointments when DH can't help with any of it?
Thankful but frustrated :P

If you're going to wake me up at 430 am with painful contractions for 1.5 hours, it needs to be the real thing next time. If not, I will just tell the docs to take you out with the baby during the c-section! Ok not really, but I'm still upset with you, womb!
Love, Sleepy mommy
You are the absolute cutest thing that you came onto The Bump January 2014 moms forum yesterday while I slept and (using that genius search function and the FAQ) found all of the threads on hospital bags. You then downloaded all of the information and started packing. I love you for doing all of these proactive things and letting me gestate. You are going to make the actual best father around.
Love you forever
I can't wait to meet you Neva Margaret Rebecca
I can't handle being sick, low BP, and pregnancy symptoms all at once. Pick one and we can focus on being miserable with that instead of everything.
Thanks,
A dizzy, coughing, aching mess
Dear thief of neighborhood packages,
I finally committed to a baby name and bought personalized stockings. They are to be delivered today. Please don't steal them, I'll irrationally take it as a sign we've chosen the wrong name and make DH start all over again...
Thanks,
Pregnant brain

Thank you for getting up early the past two mornings to make breakfast for DD and I. It's much appreciated. I am so very glad that you have this week off.
Love your much appreciative wife
Hello Stupid Candy Cane Lights,
I spent an hour on my very pregnant hands and knees pounding your scrawny plastic asses into the ground. The least you could do is turn on when I plug you in to the friggin wall.
Sincerely, the much annoyed pregnant lady
When you asked me if it was a boy or a girl and my reply was "it's a surprise!" I didn't mean that DH and i know and no one else will find out until Nugget is born. What I meant was no one knows. We are all going to be surprised. I don't care what color blanket you make for the baby and its not my problem that you only have pink and blue fabric.
And HELL NO, you are not calling my doctor to find out!! And no, i will not have her call you! You will not know before I do!
Dear house,
Please tell your electrical system to start working. Its too cold for our heat not to work and I sure as hell don't have time for this shit right now.
Dear MIL,
I'm tempted to tell you not to contact me until after the baby is born. All you do is stress me out and piss me off. But then I might be accused of overreacting, right? GAH!
I HATE YOU. I have one more week but I can't even bring myself to include the post-op days because I will lose it.
For real.
Dear family,
I love you I do. However, if one more person says they would love to be on bed rest I will punch them in the vag. Nor will I feel bad.
Dear LO,
We have one more week. Please stay in and do what they need on the monitors. I will be very upset if they take you any sooner as 34 weeks is not long enough either.
Please, stop. I know you are trying to make more room and everything, but can you calm it down? Having to leave meetings to get into the fetal position just isn't working for me anymore.
You suck and you are stupid, just give me my forgotten password and let the world cont. turning! This you need to wait on hold and then let us reset your password, which will take over an hour and a half is not acceptable, get your shit together already. Now I have to try logging in and filling out everything in less that 15 min so I can take it to my OB so I can get disability...sigh!
- Really pissed off Californian that just wants to file and get it over with!
Dear DH Boss and his Boss-
Thank you for all the unwanted stress the past few weeks, the suspension was great! Way to let us lose our tails on his pay check at Christmas time and with a baby scheduled for delivery on the 30th.....Your both stupid and are more scared that he will turn you in for breaking every rule and even law while you "work" in the shop. So now that you have tried to get my husband fired, stop asking him to go to parties and dinner with you...are you really that STUPID??
-A very pregnant cranky wife that just wants her DH to be able to work without stress!
Only putting together one piece of furniture or baby gear per weekend isn't fucking working. WE. DON'T HAVE. TIME. I can't continue to live in this disaster! DO. SOMETHING!!!!
Love,
A bed rest nester
I can't wait to meet you Neva Margaret Rebecca
I love you and appreciate that you came to stay with me while DH is gone, and I realize it snowed, but holding on to my arm and gripping it like I will shatter every time I step outside or try to go up the stairs in my house is pissing me off. There is no ice on the ground, inside my house or outside. I am pregnant, not crippled. I can walk.
Your loving but completely mobile daughter
Dear delivery guy from Jimmy John's,
I still don't know your first name but I think it's sweet every time you come here you tell me that I look great pregnant and that you can tell that I am already in love with the baby (that's adorable, FYI). I give you permission to keep delivering food here, even if it's not for me, as long as you tell me that.
A grateful and feeling larger than life administrative assistant
Dear DH,
Come home. I miss you and want ST like yesterday.
Your loving and flustered wife
Dear work,
Thanks for the extremely small raise on my review. It may not be much but it lets me know that you don't plan on canning me after mat leave.
Genuinely thankful employee
Partially Complex (my blog)
When I come in for a pee-in-the-cup appointment EARLY with my 2.5 year old at 5pm I DO NOT (repeat) DO NOT want to sit and wait for you for an HOUR!! Especially when there was no one in the waiting room!!!!! Ad when you said nothing but "there's not really much we can do for your (insert 4-5 ailments here)."
Thanks.
