A Note To My Due Date

Dearest Due Date-
You will be here exactly two months from today. I wanted to take a moment to speak with you if you don't mind. Due Date, I understand you are mostly an arbitrary date, based on an early ultrasound and some mysterious spinney wheel my doctor uses. I get it that there is no exact science to tell us when this baby might decide to show up, but if I could, dear Due Date, I'd like to plead my case with you.

You see last time, you came and went with no hoopla at all. You weren't even close to the official birth date of my son. You weren't even in the same MONTH as the birth date. I know, I know, you probably had other things going on that day, but honestly, I felt let down by you. I wrote you down on so many documents during that nine month period, I proudly told so many people about you, heck, I even made you my ATM pin for while!!! And then, you came and... nothing.

So as we approach you once again Due Date, I ask that this time be different. If there is any way you could actually be meaningful, like you know I could either have the baby on you, or a day before or after you, I would be ever so grateful. Wouldn't you love to be celebrated every time I write this new baby's birthday down? Wouldn't it be fun to tell people the baby was actually born on you!? Wouldn't it be nice if you came and went and I already was out of the hospital! Maybe I could even incorporate you in my ATM pin again as a thank you!! Just some food for thought, Due Date. Mull it over and let me know... preferably around July 1st.

Thanks for your time, Due Date. Until we meet again...

Loves to all.
