Not Yet, Please.

Dear little girl (or dear my tired, painful abdomen),

Its not time yet.  Its not time for the labor and delivery process at only 7 months gestation.  We could be actually organized for you in two or three weeks... but that is pushing it.

So these painful contractions need to stop.  And daughter, you need to stop pounding your fists and kicking your legs at me all the time.  Sorry if you are cramped... I think you will feel cramped your whole life as a younger child that has to share many things.

Here are some more reasons why its NOT TIME YET.

We don't have any clothes for you yet, so you should really stay inside where your nakedness is an advantage.  

Also, you are nameless, still.  You'll just get some generic name that we randomly pick, like Lucy or Betty or something, because we are so surprised to meet you so soon.

Your brother hasn't learned how to be gentle when touching others' eyes or other facial features.  If you come out soon, you'll get his finger up your nostril all time time... and I promise you that is not fun.

Also, I think you'd prefer a warm spring day for your birth, rather than this chilly weather.  Its snowy, girl! It will snow several more times this month!  Just avoid that, okay?

Last reason... if you time it just right... you and I can laze around in the hospital watching THE WEDDING of Kate and William and we won't be bothered by your dad or brother wanting to do other things.  We can oogle Kate's dress and start your love affair with large scale parties and party planning at an early age.  We can't do this if you don't wait until the end of April.

Love,
Your mama
