Bosom Buddies

Dear Prenatal Me,

Let's get to know each other a bit better.

Boobs. We'll start there.

I thought I knew them. You still have them, but you probably know them as those silly little upturned mosquito bites. I remember them now as being 'perky'. They stayed in one spot - heck, they stayed UP.

Well now they are migrating south. I'm scared I'll wake up tomorrow with them conferencing with my knees. At the moment they seem to be quite comfortable hanging beside my elbows.

Okay, it wasn't all bad. For awhile I actually had cleavage! Big round boosies with CLEAVAGE! (I'm sure you understand the excitement. After all you have been waiting for cleavage since you were 12. Shame it took almost 20 years wait to get it and only 1 to lose it).

Have you ever blown up a balloon and left it to slowly deflate over a couple of weeks? It goes sort of wrinkly and misshapen. Eventually it succumbs into some sort of stretched, floppy blob. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

Sadly, the moments when my bosoms were bountiful happened to coincide with the moments that I felt less than bountiful myself.

Well, except for my stomach. That was pretty bountiful.

So I guess I didn't really make the most of the cleavage when I had it. The moral? Enjoy your little perky mosquito bites. At least you can go bra-less without losing them in between belly-rolls.

Shall we be pen pals?

Dear Prenatal Me,

You don't know me yet, but I think we have a lot in common.

In fact I think although we might have a different outlook on a few things (or a few hundred things) we do have quite a bit in common.

For starters, we have the same name. I get called a few extra now, namely 'mum', 'mummy' and something that sounds somewhere between a cow bellowing and a sheep bleeting - 'maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'.

We also have the same body.

Well, not really. Mine has a bit more mileage. Your breasts are still perky and my nipples have somehow relocated in line with my elbows. Oh and you know that 'belly' of yours? Well let me just say enjoy it, sweetie.

Hmm what else? I guess our interests are vaguely the same. I think the difference is you actually get to DO what interests you. I just dream about having the time.

Anyway, I think we'll get along great.

Hope to hear from you soon,
