38 Weeks
Dear Baby,
Today was Mommy's first day of maternity leave! What a nice feeling it was to wake up and not have to commute first thing, or have to sit at a computer all day; although, I have to admit that my last day of work was an emotional one. I felt a little sad saying goodbye to my colleagues (who spoiled me all of last week with games, and cake, and so many presents!), my desk, and work life.
From this day on, it's going to be all about you Baby! The next couple of weeks will be spent organizing for your arrival, cleaning, cooking and of course getting some much needed rest and fresh air.
Hope you'll stay snug as a bug for at least the next week so that every item on the To Do List gets crossed out before we meet...
Love always,
Mom xoxo

36 Weeks- Bye Bye Bump
Dear Baby,
Sorry I haven't written in so long! It's been a pretty crazy exhausting hectic month. Mommy had to write some exams for work, which meant lots of studying and working and late nights...
With the stress of October behind me, I was so happy driving home this weekend in anticipation of relaxing. To my surprise, I was greeted by your Aunts Sybil & Vanessa, Nanima and Papi Claude who organized a surprise baby shower for us!!! We got so many wonderful gifts and your Mom felt so loved... As I type this I feel the same rush of emotions I felt seeing your family all together. We are so lucky Baby, you have no idea.
It's November now and this is the time to just relax, eat good food, get some fresh air, and prepare for your arrival! Promise to write soon.
Love,
Mom xoxo

32 Weeks
Dear Baby,
Yeast infections, swollen hands and feet and ankles, sharp rib pain, heart burn, back ache, constant peeing, once in my pants! ... but then you kick, and I think about meeting you, and it gives me so much strength. Hope you know how much you are already changing me in the best way someone can.
Love you Baby!!
Mom xoxo

28.5 Weeks
Dear Baby,
I'm already worrying about you. I worry about your health and hope you're growing strong and have all the nutrients you need. I worry that you'll want to see the world before you're ready. My back hurts, I have a headache, my feet are swollen, and I worry that the stress I feel in my body and life, you feel too.
I just hope that you can feel the good stuff too: the happiness when a stranger smiles at us, the wonderment I feel when you move and kick, the soft music that's playing now as we sit quietly together, just you and me.
Love you,
Mom xoxo

Love Poem to No-One in Particular
let me touch you with my words
for my hands lie limp as empty gloves
let my words stroke your hair
slide down your back
and tickle your belly
for my hands, light and free flying as bricks
ignore my wishes and stubbornly refuse to carry out my quietest desires
let my words enter your mind
bearing torches
admit them willingly into your being
so they may caress you gently
within
