What a lucky baby Chicklet is.

I hope you come out soon, little one! The whole world is waiting to meet you.

What a lovely letter to your little one!
Best wishes on a birth that happens soon and as close to your plan as possible.

and chicklet, that dr. sears book on babies is thick! you should totally see it – in fact, the sooner you come out, the sooner you CAN see it!

Seriously holding back a few little tears as I read this – at my desk at work – probably not smart to be doing right?

What a sweet and lovely post. I think you should just go ahead and read it aloud to your belly and see what happens. I know I would come out if someone read it to me.

I know the waiting and the last minute changes are so hard but the good news is that s/he is coming and soon. Hopefully much sooner than later.

Sounds like you’re running a first rate baby spa in there… that little one just doesn’t want to come out! I hope he or she (I think she )decides to end the stay soon and sees that the outside world is just as cozy and love-filled.

Sorry for the deviation from your birth plan. I know too well how disappointing that is. I had to keep reminding myself the only thing that mattered was the baby at the end, but it was so hard.

Chicklet will come out. Somehow and soon. Hang in there. Take care of yourselves!!

And I agree with Strawberry…..induction and epidural did not make our baby less alert…he was wide eyed and alert (lifting his head up and everything) when he was born.

Chicklet, we all anticipate your safe arrival and would like your mommy to not have to have a C-section to get you out.

A note about induction (and epidural if it comes down to it)…both did nothing to lessen our baby’s alertness. He came out crying and wide-eyed and ready to suck. And I can’t even remember when he decided to go to sleep

I am sorry about the birth center. I know you must be disappointed. Dearest Chicklet, please come on out very soon. Your mommies and the internet aunties want to meet and love you.
