Dear Hospital,
Thanks so much for the emailed week by week updates on my pregnancy! I'm so happy you actively encourage breastfeeding. I'm grateful you encourage skin to skin contact for at least 90 minutes immediately following birth. I'm glad my husband can sleep in the same room as us for the duration of our stay.
It seemed every time I opened your update, I was reassured that we had made the right decision in choosing your facility.
It was therefore disappointing to open today's message. Unfortunately, it's a bit too early for "Congratulations and Welcome Home". I'll file away those helpful tips for newborn care, but you see, I don't actually need them this week. I may be past my official "due date" but we are still well within normal range for a healthy pregnancy.
Grouchily,
Triple P
maybe the hospital sent that last email out to deliberately get you riled up and induce labor!

AJ cooked for over 2 weeks past his due date...I finally had to set a date for a C. Choose my hubbie's b-day and the individualist that he is....decided to come 2 days earlier~ I'm so thankful you have a supportive doc...hang tight-he's coming!
PS-Loved the pic of Mini and the dog~

Ours is due early December. Would you like to start taking bets with us on who's going to make an appearance first. Failing that, we have a can opener that you could borrow?.......x

So....are they still sending home moms with prepackaged formula? Won't surprise me. Hang in there my friend!
