What Jess wrote a few hours before delivery.

For at least a month now Jessica has been sleeping poorly because of her absurd shape and wrestless legs (they would move every few seconds all night). At 2:58a.m. last night (the same morning she gave birth) she was up and wrote this funny e-mail:

"I'm so tired, and so very tired of being unable to stay asleep more than 10 minutes. And having a baby pressing itself against my cervix and pubic bone. I was all content to stay pregnant as long as Art's brother wanted to stay in. I even told Josh today that I'm happy to wait because we get to cherish this time, just the three of us, before Art's not the only one anymore. But this is ridiculous."

She must have sent some sort of unconcious message to that baby, "I'm ready for you to get out of my body please!" And he did. Quickly. And now she's getting a nice long sleep.
