Dear Pregnancy,

You are devious! You make it seem so easy. Just strap on this cute belly then push out this cute baby. You never go into specifics. Which in retrospect could be considered wise, because I don't think we'd even try you on if we knew all the details. Oh who am I kidding even when I got graphic details I STILL wanted you pregnancy. It's that amazing miracle at the end that kept my focus, which is a good thing for my kids cause as much as I want to say I was prepared for you I really wasn't.

For example what's with the constant peeing? I mean really, right at the beginning it's every fifteen minutes and by the end I might as well have lived in the bathroom I ran there so much. This last time my first born kept quipping 'Mommy you are always peeing!' 'Yes sweetie I really am.' Then to make matters WORSE there are those times when you won't even wait till I get to the bathroom! Not cool pregnancy, not cool.

You're also so unexpected!! Even when you are tried for! The first time around you pounced on us without giving us a chance to get used to this journey we had started on. Second time around you decided to leave and take our miracle with you. Can't fault you for that one pregnancy, it wasn't in your control, but I gotta say it hurt, don't do that again. Then the third time it took you FOREVER to get here. I mean what route were you taking for goodness sake?? It's not like you hadn't been here before!

Don't even get me started on how you decide to make your exit. Talk about melodramatics. You put me through 29 hours of labour and then decide you won't let my baby out so I had to send someone in to get her. The next time I think I'm all prepared getting someone ready to get him out and you go and leave some of yourself behind so I need extra surgery to have you all removed. Really?? Let me give life and then almost take mine away? Devious move there pregnancy. I get it, life is a gift so cherish each day, but were the damn dramatics necessary??

Your most devious move yet is to give me two absolutely beautiful children so no matter what you put me through I'd go through it all again just to have them in my life. You play a mean game pregnancy and now that I have my girl and my boy, I'm out, go bother someone else.

It's been fun...not really,
Chatty Mama
