I guess you already know this, but you haven't come out yet. Your due date was yesterday. You are the size of a small pumpkin. I think that's an appropriate size for making your exit/entrance, don't you?
I have enjoyed carrying you around for these past 9ish months, but pregnancy has lost a little of the shiny lately. I have started my leave from work, so I'm pretty bored right now. I have cleaned everything possible, so I don't have a lot else to do. Also, it's gotten pretty uncomfortable to be in any position, even if that position is lying down.
Oh, and here's a nice gem - I was hoping you'd come out before I had a chance to share this one. It goes under the heading of "Things for Which You Are Grounded As Soon As You Come Out." The other night, I was lying in bed, and I got really excited because I thought my water had broken. Turns out, I just peed on myself. Now, Toot, you reach a certain age at which you say to yourself, "barring any unfortunate illness, I have probably wet the bed for the last time for the next 60 or 70 years." It is really upsetting to be proven wrong, then have to wash your sheets in the middle of the night.
I am being bombarded by phone calls and messages asking if you are here yet. I want to tell them yes, little buddy. I really want to see you in person. We are all ready. I have tried lots of suggestions for getting labor started, but nothing has worked yet. I will keep you updated.
Love,
Mom
