A letter to John Mayer at 38 weeks

Dear Mr. Mayer,

I think as you were writing the lyrics to 'Your Body is a Wonderland' you forgot a few adjectives. Since I think this title is all about me, I'll tell you what adjectives were left out. They are: swollen, stretched, tight, translucent, water-retaining, aching, cramping, gassy, contracting, sleep deprived, and soon-to-be saggy and sore.

So, to sum it up, next time you sing 'Your Body is a Wonderland', will you add a couple of them in, or maybe all of them? I think this sounds good 'Your body is a swollen, stretched, tight, translucent, water-retaining, aching, cramping, gassy, contracting, sleep deprived, and soon-to-be saggy and sore wonderland.'

I think your sales just went through the roof.

Much appreciated.

At 38 weeks we are getting more excited for the sleepover that we will be having shortly at the hospital. We have our favorite pjs picked out, movies, and are prepared to stay up and laugh and cry at this all-nighter.

Pregnancy Stats:

-weight gain: 21 lbs
-contractions: irregular, but regular when I walk, still just Braxton Hicks, and uncomfortable
-dialated to a 0
-effaced to a 0
-haven't dropped
-position: little bum on my left side, feet on my right and in my ribs, head toward the bottom
-mental preparation: ready, but enjoying the last little bit of time to sleep when I want, work on projects, and spend time with just Sean. I am also loving watching my body do what it is meant to do. I am surprised, but not, that it works so perfectly and knows just how to handle all of this.
-things I enjoy: baths, watching Lost, visiting friends, CHOCOLATE, juice, foot massages from Eu De Sean, finishing projects, staring at his little wardrobe and prepared cradle, knitting (I feel I aged by 20+ years) his little blanket, doing hair at my leisure, going to institute, parenting class, thrift store shopping, and having Sean around more that his school load is lightening.

We are getting excited!
