The Baby Blues (or pinks in this case)

Dear Baby,

I want to thank you for introducing me to this whole new world of oddities.  After 30+ years, I finally know what the inside of my belly button looks like.  Surprisingly, it's kind of shiny.  I like shiny.  However, I could have gone without being introduced to the inside of my colon.  Some things in life are supposed to be a mystery.  Don't worry, you'll figure this out soon enough.

I had no clue that muscles could stretch far beyond their capacity to actually be functional.  But now that I've pulled a few, would you please stop kicking them?  I realize that they may be a bit swollen.  I also realize that there is not much variation in your current habitation.  I can also even understand the boredom you must be facing, that makes finding a bump (and knocking it around for a while) the highlight of your day.  At the very least, could you please alternate the bumps that you kick?

I am also glad that you've given up the extremely long game of 'bladder soccer' that you were playing.  However, if it would mean that I could go longer than two hours a night without having to pee, you would be more than welcome to advance to the finals.

We'll talk more later.

Your loving mother

PS:  I can't wait until you're born.  Because, when you're old enough, I am going to introduce you to the wonderful world of lemons .... and laugh my butt off at the face you pull.
