Dear, Mom, Big Brother, Darling Sister-in-Law and Meddling Mother-in-Law,
Thank you for telling me when it’s convenient for YOU as to when I should have my baby. The baby will come when it wants to come. That being said, if I could choose a date, I would not pick something based off of what YOU want. Maybe that’s selfish of me, but I’m the one that is hugely pregnant having gained 50 pounds (yes, you heard me right so stop your snickering), feel like the kid is going to fall out my butt, and having contractions that keep me up all night. Not to mention the constipation, heartburn, indigestion and overall icky-ness I feel.
By the way, if you can’t make it to the hospital to see the baby within an hour of it’s birth, that’s okay. It will still be here and still be brand new when you can come see it. That being said, I would like all of you to stay away for at least a week following the birth of MY child (that I carried for 9 months) so I can bond with him and learn to breastfeed without all of you staring at me. And I would like to hold my baby without worrying about what person is going to snatch him from my arms.
If the date of birth actually coincides with the date you have chosen, please remember that if it would have been within my power, my baby would not have entered the world at your convenience. On the contrary, I would have gladly endured extra misery to wait an extra week to make sure you were put out by the birth of MY child.
Sincerely,
Shannon
No, I won't send this out, but right now am feeling crabby and mean. I thought I would give it to you guys so I can feel like I'm venting! Thanks!

ok, maybe not, but can I borrow it.
She finally got the hint that I wasn't budging and accepted that.

That is funny! I am currently not answering the phone or e-mails asking if I am "still" pregnant. So annoying. I'd like to send a general e-mail in the same vein.
