Baby On Board

The family part: Two

Lena's: POV
I'm just waking up from my nap
This pregnancy has me exhausted
All the time. My obstetrician has me taking iron pills, Stef must be downstairs. She told me to take it easy
Today cause she has everything under control, everybody's due to come over at 5:00 this evening. Knowing that our mothers are going to arrive early,
I get up from the bed to go use the bathroom to brush my teeth, once l'm finished l head back to the bedroom to find my sandals. And went downstairs to find my wife in the kitchen making dessert, hey baby what are doing Lena asks Stef
I'm making a sugar free cheese cake
With Graham cracker crust from scratch. Stef replies, l was thinking we could eat outside since it's a beautiful day outside. Lena says to Stef
Alright love we could do that, how was your nap, because you were sleeping for three hours Stef questions Lena. I haven't been sleeping to well cause Kennedy keeps changing positions, but I think we really should look into getting a little more comfortable bed. Because my back is giving me trouble, Lena said
Love why didn't say anything about this before, l could have went to a different furniture store to pick up another bed. We can go out tomorrow and look at a few places, l don't care about the cost. I just want you to be
Comfortable, maybe we can do a little shopping for Kennedy to get her some outfits, Lena goes to get the plates out the cabinet. So she could set the table outside, she lays out the place mats first and then the plates and sliver ware. Down, Stef wants to get a guard dog for the house. I haven't fully decided if I want to have a pet inside the house, with the baby coming in a few months. I would be happy with neither, but she has her heart set on a small dog. I'll do anything to make her and our baby happy, she doesn't ask for much. She's always been patient
I hear the door bell ringing. It must be
Micheal and his daughter, their all staying at the same hotel that's twenty minutes away from here, l can't wait to tell everyone our big news. Our mothers have been asking us when are going to have a baby, l'm not going to tell them l am no longer working
You can't hardly tell l'm pregnant
Because my belly is round and small
I might get bigger towards the end
I head back inside to get the glasses
I'm not sure what Stef made to drink
Hi darling don't you look beautiful
in your dress. You are practically glowing, Stephanie what's got your wife's skin so georgous and clear
Sharon asks Stef. Mother l'm not to sure what your referring too,
Lena never likes to be the center of attention, so Lena gets the glasses and goes back out to the backyard. I was the same way when l got pregnant with you, Stephanie is Lena
Having a baby because she didn't have any champagne. When she made the toast to you here last night
And I didn't see her drink any at your grand opening, Sharon replied
Mom not everyone consumes alcohol
All the time. Lena has decided to cut back, Stef said, l know you gals are hiding something from all of us
Sharon States. Whatever helps you sleep at night mom, Stef replies
She didn't want to get up the news just yet. Stef carries the roasted chicken breast out, Sharon takes
Out the dish of potatoes out in the yard. Where Lena was sitting at the head of the table, Mom did my mother say what time she was coming
Cause it was a little after five, Lena
Said to Sharon. When we left the hotel
She said she was coming later, because she wasn't feeling well.
Sharon tells Lena, Stef saw the look of concern on Lena's face. Stef sat next to Lena, she squeezed her hand under the table letting her know that her mother is probably okay. Food is being passed around the table,
I'm trying not worry about my mother's, she's a grown woman who can take of herself. I just wanted her hear so she could here our big news
Since sharon, Micheal and his daughter which here in attendance
I put some food on my plate and passed Stef the roasted chicken breast
Everybody started eating already.
I guess we could tell everyone after dinner. Why does she always have to do this, when we have family gatherings. I'm not going to let her ruin our evening, she needs to get her act together. Like or not she's gonna be a grandma so,
