The thank-you note real moms in the Fourth Trimester would like to send:
Dear ________ : Thanks for sending us ________ . I’m sure __________ will love it as soon as _______ can do anything besides eat, sleep, cry, and run up the stock price on Pampers. Having recently entered the Fourth Trimester, right now my goals in life are to sleep more than three hours and shower before 7:00 p.m. So please excuse this impersonal note. I’d love for you to come over and see _________ . But no helpful hints, no critiquing of the fact that I (1) breast-feed without a cover-up; (2) do not breast-feed and use formula; (3) allow my child to use a pacifier; (4) use a Swyngo-matic to hypnotize my child into a state eerily similar to an Ecstasy trip. Do not tell me that __________ looks cute. I know that __________ looks like a cross between E.T. and Yoda. And no comments about my figure. I am not Cindy Crawford and, yes, those are maternity clothes I’m still wearing. Bring rain gear and you’ll be well prepared for the nonstop torrent of liquid escaping from __________ and me. Can’t wait to see you -- of course, these days I’m even looking forward to having my mom and mother-in-law visit. I’ll take whatever adult company I can get.
