Friday's Letters

Dear Friday: I love you. Amen.

Dear work: I love you (most of the time) but I'm only giving you one more week, and then I'm off for 12 weeks!

Dear contractions: Please stop. This baby cannot come even one day before her due date. I think I'm the only mom-to-be that has ever wished for her child to be overdue

Dear sweet angel in my belly: Despite what I said above, I cannot wait to meet you. You've been really taking it easy on me the last few weeks, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.The idea that I'm going to see your sweet face in just a few short days brings me to tears every time I think about it.

Dear May (the month): You are going to be crazy/fun/busy/exciting. Let's do this.

Dear new house: I dream about you every night. I hope you like me as much as I like you.

Dear Breyer's: Please discontinue your line of Oreo Blast ice cream. It would really help my addiction if I knew you didn't existed. Follow in the path of Twinkies. 

Dear apathetic paint counter worker at Lowe's: Get ready, son. A crazy pregnant lady is about to come in and color match a good 10 gallons of paint. You won't even know what hit you.

Dear Emerson: Why are you so adorable all the time?

Friday's Letters

Dear ice storm: Seriously? It's time to spring forward, Ohio. Dear McDonalds: Thank you for making my cup of decaf this morning. It was almost as good as the real thing. Almost. Dear Kate Middleton: You are also pregnant, and only 11 weeks or less behind me. Thank you, I feel like a blimp.  

 

Dear people coming for house showings tomorrow: Please buy my house. You know you want to. Dear doughnuts: I wish I could quit you. Dear Downton Abbey: I am hooked. I'm halfway through season 3. I bawled my eyes out last night. I won't spoil for others but... ugh.

 

Dear Train: Please stop singing. Please. Live off your royalties and enjoy your lives. Dear Mexican food: Where did this craving come from? I just know it's a quarter after 10, I'm all alone and I need you now. Dear baby girl #2:  I am so sorry we can't find a name for you. I feel like a bad mom. I keep waiting for the perfect one to come along, because I don't want you to hate me some day for my lame name choice. Dear spring 2013 clothing: Stop tempting me with your cuteness. I will NOT buy any clothes until after the baby comes. I will not.

I wish I had an ounce of athleticism. Dear legs: Don't let me down. I've got a half marathon in 10 weeks, and we can DO THIS if we work together. Kapeesh? Dear next door neighbor: You're strange. You should look into that. Dear Mackenzie: I'm so excited for a fun weekend celebrating your last single-girl weeks! We've got some fun in store for you! ;-) (Sorry, Channing Tatum won't be there, I tried. He's busy I guess??) Dear Mackenzie's friends: I'm sorry you have to see me in a 2 piece bathing suit. Dear sugar: It's been almost 2 weeks. I don't need you! But why are you in everything???? Dear school year: I'm not ready for you. Dear fall: I'm definitely ready for you. Bring on the pumpkin spice and the crunchy leaves. Dear self: You are getting your hair cut tomorrow. You will NOT chicken out and go for same ole, same ole. You can do this.

Happy weekend ya'll!!
