Little notes to my unborn babies

So, lately I keep having these little letters to my girls run through my head. It's usually when they're doing something I don't like, such as:

Dear Daughters,

I haven't forgotten that you're in my belly. You therefore do not need to kick me in the cervix for attention.

love Mommy.

or

Dear Daughters,

If you don't stop kicking each other and rumbling around then so help me god I'll turn this uterus right around and neither of you will be born.

love Mommy.

I'm really amusing myself. Do any of you other mums have internal dialogue like this?

lol 

My guy is very active and squirmy all the time, reasoning doesn't seem to help... but I'm finding emo music seems to put him to sleep!

I'll take your crazy and raise you two.

I started writing letters to Philip when I was pregnant, all those little notes, complaints, funny things they say, little pieces of advice, "what your life is like now" type stuff. Some hand written, some on computer. I still write them, and intend to write them til he is 18 or 21 or something, then Ill give them to him when he reaches that point.

I've done the same with Henry, and George already has his first letter too.

Thats a nice idea!  I don't write notes to my little one but I do talk to him quite a bit, especially when Im eating my dinner.  I'll look down at my tummy and say 'mmmm, Peanut, you'll like this one!' or 'sorry it's a bit burnt Peanut, we'll have something better tomorrow night!' hah.

That is such a nice idea. I might do the same.

Awww. That's the one thing I haven't done much, talk to them. I sometimes look down and say "stop it" when they're really rowdy but I've not really spoken to them. Jon will sometimes get really close and try talking to them to get them to move around (like they don't move around loads as it is).

I just don't know what to say.

Awww.... you should definitely keep those notes and do something with them for when they are older. Imagine how funny they will find it when they are older and pregnant themselves! 

I'm sure that I have little bits and bobs jotted at the tiny one on Twitter and Livejournal, but I cannot remember exactly what right now.  As for things to say to her... hahah, I never knew what to say when she was still in me, and have little concept of what to say now.  So I just sort of turn off the conscious brain and let the unconscious have its turn babbling about whatever takes its fancy.  I figure it's probably less insulting than baby talk. *grins*  The best time for me to do this when I was pregnant was in the bath - I couldn't tell you why, though - was just the time my brain reminded me to talk at the sproglette!

I talk to the little guy from time to time...I say things like 'see, Mommy is going to feed you some yummy things now!' and 'look, Daddy wants you to kick for him now!'.  Likely these are similar to what I'll be saying to him once he's out too!  I like talking to him, particularly when he's kicking.
