The Life Of Avia Grace

Shelby Clark Steven McEntire Blackstock

It's Thursday Feb.22 and Mama is still pregnant! As I hear my obnoxious alarm clock yelling in my ear telling me to wake up. Mama opened my door I rolled over and groaned "It's too early!"

"Rise and shine Bubs!" Mama opened my curtains completely blinding me. I pulled the blanket over my head

"No!" I said. She grabbed my ankles and tried to pull me

"Mommy Stop it!" I groaned

"I made breakfast." She coaxed

"It's too early!" I mumbled

"You have to go to school!" She said

"Why?" I mumbled

"Because education is important." She told me

"So is sleep." I borrowed under my covers

"Fine then I guess that you won't be getting any of my French toast." Which of course she knew was my favorite, I shot up

"Are you just saying that to get me up or did you make it?" I asked

"I really made it." She laughed, I jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. Mama waddled behind me

"Where is it?!" I asked looking for it

"It's in the oven." She said

"You said it was ready!" I whined

"It is, I was keeping it fresh and warm." Mama smiled. I sat down at the kitchen island. She tried to bend over to get it out of the oven, she ended up squatting down instead. I got up and grabbed oven mitts. I took the pan from her and closed the oven She grabbed the counter and heaved herself up.

"That was my exercise for the week." She said out breath . I laughed and patted her back

"Good job mom, you got a lot done."She glared at me and I kissed her cheek. She smiled and tried to hug me, but her belly got in the way I laughed and leaned over a little. She ran her hand down from the top of her belly to the bottom and frowned

."What's the matter?" I asked curiously

"He gets in the way of everything." She blew a piece of hair out of her face"

He'll be out soon." I said. I rubbed her belly and she smiled

"Is everyone else still sleeping?" I asked She nodded

"I wanted to make you breakfast."

"Awe thanks Mama." I smiled. She scrunched her nose

"What?" I said

"You're so precious." She smiled softly. I sat back down and started eating. She smiled at me and rubbed her belly

"These are perfect by the way." I smiled

"I'm glad." She smiled. Daddy snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her belly and kissed her cheek

"Oh! Hello!" She said surprised

"Morning beautiful." He smiled and kissed her cheek again

"Morning baby." She smiled and kissed him

"How'd you sleep?" He asked

"What little sleep I got was fine." She huffed

"Baby you should have woken me up, I would have stayed up with you." He rubbed her belly

"Then you would've been tired." She placed her hand on his and rubbed it

"I know, but still your my wife." He smiled
