And...The Rest...

My Baby Girl!

-Fast Forward: 1 day before going into labor-
It has been a rough 9 months and I am 2 days over my due date….I hate being pregnant. I have been so out of breath, in pain everywhere and my stomach grew so big. I gained almost 30 pounds! I’ve been feeling really drained and exhausted. The doctors said it may be a sign of labor. I am already 3 centimeters dilated. Me and Johnny are officially homeschooled and we both graduate this year. The school we both attended has a homeschool program for students who can’t go to school for certain situations. I am excited to graduate!
Me and Johnny agreed on a name for our precious little girl to come into this world! It's so pretty.
Getting off of that topic, Johnny was cuddling me and all of a sudden I had a sharp pain in my stomach and I whimpered a little. He rubbed my belly and pulled me closer.
That night I was having horrible contractions. They were 2 minutes apart and I was waiting for my water to break. Eventually it did but I was in so much pain. I walked slowly to the car while Johnny grabbed the hospital bags. I sat in the passenger seat and waited for Johnny.
He finally came after a few minutes and drove to the hospital. He was driving fast to the hospital. I didn’t care because I was in so much pain!
“Baby hold in there we’re almost there!” He held my hand and had a panic tone in his voice.
I stood quiet and just held his hand
We finally pulled into the hospital and Johnny gave the keys to the Valet people and grabbed the stuff and helped me walk into the hospital. I walked in through the doors to the receptionist. I gave them all my information and they had a nurse out to come get me within 3 minutes. Johnny had to wait in the lobby while I got changed, epidural and ultrasound. When all that was done they let him in. I was so scared that I didn’t talk much. I felt like I was going to pass out.
Johnny walked in and stood next to me and wouldn’t leave my side. He was like a stubborn soldier. But he was more lovable.
When I was in the labor room I was only 8 centimeters dilated and it was a long 2 centimeters! It took 2 hours for me to reach 9!
When I reached 10 centimeters….I panicked. Johnny held both of my hands.
“Bae you’ve come all this way, you can do it!” He said as more and more doctors and nurses came in and out of the room.
It was time for me to push and I was scared beyond belief!
I started pushing, holding Johnny’s hands. I kept going and going and going until the baby was finally out. They cut the umbilical cord and laid the baby on me.
Our baby girl was born on May 13, 2024
Her name is Josey Mariella Seigh. Welcome to the world my love <3.

I cried…Again.
Johnny teared up too!
After a few the doctors took the baby to do a bunch of testing and clean it. Not gonna lie, I couldn't believe I pushed a 8.8 Lbs baby out!. Yes, SHE WAS A BIG BABY! Johnny was amazed.
2 hours passed and they brought the baby back in. By that time I had already taken a shower. She is the perfect healthy baby! I was so tired and so sore that I don’t really remember much of that day.
I was asleep all day and Johnny took care of the baby. When night time hit, Johnny woke me up to tell me we were free to go. I got up and put comfy clothes on. I Johnny put the baby in the car seat and we walked down stairs. I stayed inside while Johnny talked to Valet to get the car.
He walked back inside grabbing the baby and grabbing me helping me walk. By the time we were outside the Valet people pulled up. Johnny put the baby in the back seat and he put me in the front seat.
Johnny finally got in the car.
“So…What do you wanna eat?” He said, grabbing my hand.
“Nothing, I need to breastfeed Josey in 20 minutes so you better drive fast or she will cry.” My focus was no longer on myself anymore. It was all on Josey.
“Ok so do you want me to door dash something to the house bae?
“Sure, get me a fat juicy burger from In n Out.”
He smiled and nodded.
We arrived home and he took out Josey and helped me walk inside.
His mom was sitting on the couch.
“Oh my god my granddaughter! Liv baby let me help you to the couch!” She helped me sit on the couch.
Johnny put Josey’s car seat on the floor and took her out to give to his mom. He handed Josey to his mom and sat back and wrapped his arm around me.
“Such a beautiful baby girl…I love her so much!” Mom said, starting to cry.
“Awww mom’s don’t cry! You’re going to make me cry!” Of course I cried.
Johnny laughed and he laid his head on my shoulder exhausted.
“Bae go upstairs and go to sleep, me and mom’s got it. You helped me when I fell asleep in the hospital. It's your turn to sleep.” I said softly and quietly rubbing his head.
“But I don’t wanna leave your or Josey’s side.” He laid his head on my lap. “I will sleep right here with you and Josey, until you’re both ready to go upstairs.”
I smiled and kissed his head. He was being overprotective and I love it. Most people hate when someone in a relationship is overprotective. But there are limits. And right now is the perfect time to.
Josey started crying….of course. And Johnny fell asleep
“Oh right, feeding time.” I grabbed Josey back from Johnny’s mom and I started breastfeeding.
Johnny was sound asleep.
“So, how does it feel to be 17 and buying a house? And don’t mention it's a huge house.” Johnny’s mom mentioned that we are buying a house soon and it clicked that I still have to get the money from the bank and set up a mortgage.
“It’s great honestly, I'm excited. We won’t need to move for a long time and our family can grow inside that home. And I am hoping one day in a few years to walk into that house as Mrs. Seigh.” I smiled as I looked down at Johnny sound asleep.
“Oh trust me sweetheart, don’t rush marriage. All it means is that you’re legally together and you share the money. Marriage doesn’t mean shit.” She says as she sips her wine out of her wine glass.
I started thinking, what if me and Johnny were forever together but never got married. I could only imagine; me home with 5 kids and pregnant with the 6th, him working all the time and him cheating and screwing around with other women.
I shrugged it off because I knew it would never happen. Johnny wants to marry me. He talks about how he wants to buy me the fattest diamond in the world and put it on my finger. I try to explain to him that I’m not a diamond type of woman, you can use a twisty tie and I still would cry because I don’t care about the ring. I care about the effort.
Josey finished eating and I gave her back to Johnny’s mom and I laid back and sighed.
“My dad is proud of me, for buying my first house and having a baby this young and successful. I can say I tried hard. I really tried.” I looked around. “I was hoping after we get settled into our new place I was going to take You, Josey and Johnny to see my family so they can meet the baby and you can see my family again.” I smiled up at her.
“Oh my that would be wonderful! I have not seen your father in years, I would love to meet his boo.”
I smiled and I nodded. She is a delightful yet interesting person. Nobody will really understand Carole. Not that it's bad, it's just she is not a boring person, she always is filled with something!
Josey was asleep the whole time. Johnny’s mom was tired and had work in the morning so she gave me a hug and went to bed. I woke up Johnny so we can go to bed.
“Hey baby, let's go upstairs to the room so we can cuddle. It's not so comfy down here.” I whispered softly as I held Josey.
He sat up rubbing his eyes and stretching. He took Josey from me and he helped me go up the stairs.
“Be careful bae I don’t wanna catch you while Josey is in my arms.”
Of course I was careful. I walked inside the room and Johnny placed Josey in her bassinet and we laid in bed. I cuddled him close. I laid my head on his chest and he rubbed my back with his hand he wrapped around me.
“Hey bae?”
“Hm?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” I kissed his big nose and he tackled me softly and kissed me.
He laid on me just staring at me.
“You’re the most beautiful person in the world.” He said with a glimmer in his eyes.
AHHHH I wanted to squeeze him and kiss him all over. But we can’t have sex for 6 weeks. So I am avoiding turn ons.
After a while of goofing around we laid back down and cuddled. I wanted to live in his arms forever.
I fell asleep and so did Johnny. But Josey started crying at 5 am. I woke up and fed her but she wouldn’t stop. I tried switching boobs, I tried changing positions of feeding, I tried switching to a bottle and I tried rocking her to sleep. Nothing worked. Until Johnny woke up and he grabbed her and laid her on his chest and she calmed down.
At that point I didn’t care about it. I just wanted to sleep. I fell asleep on my side of the bed with my back to Johnny because I didn’t wanna wake the baby. She was definitely a daddy’s girl.
