Dear...
Dear Pregnant Coworker,
I know you are excited to be less than 50 days away from your due date. But you really don't need to post on FB every single day with how many days it is until your due date. The fact of the matter is, I don't give a sh!t, and I bet most of your other friends don't either. I also noticed that you failed to update us on how many days were left ALL WEEKEND. GASP! Today (thank goodness) you posted that there are only 44 days left, and acknowledged that you missed a few days. I would really love to reply to one of these statuses and say "I am SO glad you posted this. I was racking my brain this morning trying to remember exactly how many days are left until your due date, and it was giving me a migraine", but I know you're pregnant and hormonal and would probably not see the humor in it. Too bad for you.
Dear Weather,
Why do you have to be 81 degrees tomorrow when I'm stuck at work during all daylight hours? That's not fair. 
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Re: Dear...
I feel this way about my friend who is pregnant with her 2nd child. She has been updating FB and G+ with constant status updates regarding her pending delivery. It's like... OK... we get it. And you've done this before. It shouldn't be that much of a surprise to discover you only have 6 weeks left, and we really don't want to hear about the baby kicking all the time. *yawn*

Dear Alex,
I'm very happy that you're beginning to share things. It's really adorable, however sharing your cold with me was not neccessary.
Love, Mama
Dear Self,
You did an excellent job cleaning and catching up on some laundry last night, do the same thing tonight and then you can relax on your day off instead of doing chores!
Dear Tuesday & Wednesday,
Please go by quickly, I'm excited for our first appointment on Thursday afternoon because I really want to hear this little one's heartbeat so it will feel more real to me
Although I'm trying not to get my hopes up because at nine weeks when I was pg with Alex we dis not hear his heartbeat, it wasn't until 10.5 weeks when we had our first ultrasound that we heard it.
Dear Micro-Managing Co-Worker,
Leave me alone, for I do not want to deal with your BS today.
Dear Mother and Sister,
Thank you for being out today. Though I do enjoy the quiet, I do not enjoy triple the workload, especially after being out yesterda.
Dear Vegas,
Two weeks from today.

Dear gas station,
Was it really necessary to charge me $4.79 per gallon for regular gas? I understand that I was running late for work and decided to stop on the highway, but still... this is a bit ridiculous.
Dear Brett,
If you leave one more empty juice/milk container in the fridge, I am seriously going to shave what is left of your balding head in your sleep.
Dear coworker,
If you ask me one more freaking time if I am pregnant again, I am going to punch you in the face. I understand that you had a dream of it, but this is not what I want to hear when I walk in to the cafeteria first thing in the morning (in front of numerous other coworkers). Yes, I have a little belly at the moment, but I assure you that it is thanks to two back to back pregnancies and NOT a new one. Now, leave me the hell alone and let me get my coffee.
Dear Family,
I understand that Easter is this weekend and your supposed to be around family. BUT...you all are effing crazy and I would much rather stay home then to subject myself to a full day of misery. So, I'll be home and in peace. Instead of real food, I'll be experimenting with new dessert recipes and my peanut butter, cream cheese frosting.

Mark- you have more money than me- you buy yourself a car seat for your new car. I dont have the moola right now with Charlottes bday coming up.
Self- be confident if you get a job interview with another group in your company. You need this promotion even if it makes you more uncomfortable.
Self- #2- you can lose the extra weight- just be confident.
Boss- you pissed me off at my review, apologized for yelling at me, then wrote me a raving review to make up for it. Please give me a good raise to go with this,
...Constant headache, if you are going to be here for the next 8 months I might scream.
...laundry, do yourself, fold yourself and put yourself away. I have no idea why I cannot motivate myself to do laundry this week.
Dear DH,
I think you should be making me dinner all week for having to make all of these calls because you are all about saving a buck now. Switching Home & Car insurance and cable & internet service is a pain. Why did we set these all up in my name? Did you plan this all along?
Dear New Insurance Guy,
You are very nice and very helpful but you do not need to send me 2 emails a day bsaically welcoming me to your company.
Dear Self,
Why on earth did you make a countdown on your phone to how many days until surgery? To make yourself more nervous? Please delete asap. Thank you very much.
Dear jackass who sped around me and flipped me off this morning,
I was going only 25 because its an effing school zone! And snowing. I dont' like doing 25 down a main road, but I don't want a school zone speeding ticket. And, you know, I don't want to like, hit a kid. You want to take that chance and fly around me doing like 50, fine. But flipping me off was totally unnecessary. Did you not notice everyone else around me also doing 25?
Dear People Who Keep Coming In My Office With Bad Attitudes:
Quit your bitchin'.
Thank you kindly.
OMGz you're eating seafood while pregnant?!??!11111ELEVENTY111

Yup! Mmmmm so delicious and buttery!
If you share a picture of an abused child or a beaten dog with the thought that it will rally support and/or outrage, I will Hide you. Not that I don't support your cause, but I do not need to see unexpected pictures of bruised children in my newsfeed, thanks.

LOL sorry dude.
No WebCam or bet.
She was over the age of 50, and just needed some education about alternative veggies, or toys. I forget if there were any questions I missed.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
