A Day in The Life...

Hello readers! It's me, Baby Boy, reporting to you today from in the womb, because Mommy is too darn tired to think straight. Since her diminished mental capacity is sort of my fault, I figured I would step in and give you folks a blow by blow account of what it's like to be 7 weeks away from entering the world.

I lead a pretty good life. It's cozy, although it's starting to get a little tight in here...I try and stretch my legs every now and then, but there's these squishy things in my way. If I push too hard on them, Mommy jiggles me around. Not my favorite sensation. Sometimes when she jiggles me, I stop stretching, but other times, I stretch further. Just to show her who is REALLY in charge.

I like it when she rocks back and forth and leans waaay back. That gives me more room. I don't like it when she leans forward. That squishes me. So I kick her. I'm not trying to be mean, but a kid can only take so much.

My favorite part of the day is when Daddy comes home. I know it's him because of the big voice. He talks to me and I get as close as I can to the big voice and kick back at it...once again, I'm not trying to be mean. I just have lots I want to say to him and I don't have a big voice of my own yet.

My other favorite time of the day is 3 AM. I don't have a clock in here, but I can tell it's about that time because Mommy has finally fallen into a deep sleep and she's all relaxed...then I take aim at a squishy part here on the inside and kick and poke it until she wakes up. Sometimes she goes back to sleep, but on good nights she stays awake and plays with me. I poke her with my knee or my foot, and she pokes back. I love it! Plus it makes her laugh, and I like to make her laugh.

Sometimes she turns on the TV and I hear that familiar song: "I'll be there for yoo-oou..". It must be Mommy's favorite show because she watches it ALL the time. She tries to be very quiet and not wake Daddy up. I don't know why she does that, because in a few minutes I'll start kicking really hard so he can feel me, too. Then we'll all be awake and I can hear the big voice and Mommy laughing. As I said before, life is good.

I know you're all wondering...when am I going to make my big arrival? Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be much fun now, would it? Oh, I'll know when I'm ready. And when I'm ready, they'll be nothing stopping me.

So until then, this is Baby Boy, signing off. See you on the other side.
