A Pregnant Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

I've been a really good girl this year, man.  Particularly these last 9 months...  I mean, I haven't even had a drink so there really isn't much room for me to misbehave.  I feel like I should probably admit to eating all of my husband's oatmeal cream pies and finishing the ice cream without offering him any though.  It's not that I lied about it or anything, but I definitely didn't offer to share.  I won't let it happen again...or maybe I will, but if I do I will definitely buy more.

Aside from all that, I've been really unselfish.  Practically all of my shopping has been for baby and not for me.  I sleep for him.  Eat for him.  I even go to the bathroom double triple quadruple time for him.

I've been sharing my body - it's not even remotely mine right now.  I have let him set up home and I've worked hard to keep him comfortable.  If he elbows me, I try to adjust.  He definitely dictates and I listen to his orders.  See...more selflessness here.  I even stopped eating my favorite cheeses and deli meat for him.  Did I mention I haven't had a single glass of Naughty and Nice this season?

I'm thinking as far as gifts this year, you could maybe work something out where they get delivered after the baby comes?  Or perhaps in lieu of tangible gifts, we could do something along the lines of a prenatal massage and a foot rub?  Perhaps even paint the little piggies?  I wouldn't mind a full night sleep...maybe a quiet bladder?

I'm quite excited about your arrival, but don't be surprised if there aren't as many any cookies waiting for you by the tree.  Maybe I should apologize ahead of time, but I have a strong feeling that most of will be eaten...for the baby of course!  I'll leave a few extra carrots just in case.

Merry Christmas!

Love,
Lins
