EVICTION NOTICE - 39 WEEKS 2 DAYS!!! MUST COMPLY BY 9-20-08

Dear Baby,

I've enjoyed the last nine months of you hanging out inside of me. I've enjoyed not knowing if you are a boy or a girl. I'll even go as far as to say that I enjoy it when you kick my bladder or get stuck under my ribs...but now, I want to meet you. I've had enough of the aches and pains, I've had enough of the infections South of the Border, I've had enough not knowing if you are a boy or a girl. I've had enough of the crazy emotions and the new heartburn that has developed in the last week which keeps me awake for at least an hour a night (on top of my hourly wake-ups as it is). I've had enough of the Fred Flintstone Feet which have now progressed to Elephant Feet. I've had enough of waking up completely sweaty throughout the night when sleeping in anything less would leave me naked (ick!!!) I've had enough of not getting comfortable sleeping. I complain but would do it all again for you Dear Baby to know that it means that you will be healthy and fully developed.

I am ready to meet you.

I am ready to use the bassinet that's been set up in our bedroom for 2 months.

I am ready to use the diapers that I freaked out about earlier in the week over.

I am ready to use the swing that is in the dining room.

I am ready to use the pack and play that we set up in the living room (after re-arranging some furniture to fit it).

I am ready to change dirty diapers and to feed you at all hours of the day.

I am ready to call people and not get them all nervous that I am in labor.

I am ready to hold you and to spoil you.

I am most ready to LOVE YOU on the outside I've loved you since I found out you were in me.

I've tried bribing you by telling you that I would buy you toys and even a car (Daddy wasn't so sure about this one). I've wanted to shine a flashlight down my mouth so that you would go away from it (I haven't) and head South. These tactics have not worked.

Please come out soon so that I can share you with the world. There are lots of people ready to love you and a whole world of hopes and dreams for you.

Consider this a gentle Eviction Notice!!

Love,
Mommy (& Daddy too)
