Today we're at Jarnies house for lunch since she invited us around for food so Lizzie didn't have to cook again. Since I can't cook Lizzie cooks every single meal so Jarnette only thought it would be fair to invite us over. Baby's due in four days and we've done all the shopping and organising for them, well I mean Lizzie when I say we. Jarnie will be looking after the dogs for us until baby's here so we don't have to worry about them.
"Sweetheart are you sure your happy going to mom's today? We can cancel if you don't think you can" Lizzie asks softly running her hands through my hair "no, I want to go. The Braxton hicks are nothing, there could be a week before this baby's here" I look up at her and grin "I'm not sure I can wait another week. The due dates in four days, they won't come after that" I hold her hand and look down at my stomach "the baby will come when the baby wants to come. But you can help moving it closer' I mumble bouncing her hands in the air "what was that babe? I didn't quite hear you" "you can help move it closer" I say looking up at her "mhm Im sure I can but I think they need to come on their own" I frown and pout "meanie". I rub my bump and press into it softly "hi bubba, when are you coming to meet us baby? You've got very big kicks, is that so when mama has cuddles you can kick her instead of me?" I ask watching my stomach move in all shapes "their an alien. You've got an alien in your belly baby" Lizzie teases into my neck making me laugh from the tickles "I've had an alien in my belly since I got you out in me" I fire back. Lizzie's hands move ontop of my stomach and I lean back into her chest "remember when there wasn't anything in there and now there's this?' I hum to respond and close my eyes "and now we could have a baby any day?' I nod and wrap my arms around her arm for a pillow "keep doing whatever your doing" I breath feeling the baby calm down "what's it doing?' "nothing, that's why it's good. Keep doing that, I've got my organs back for the first time. What are you doing anyway?' I mumble falling asleep "just rubbing where you've got tight areas. Up here there's nothing' Lizzie says and presses into the top of my stomach "I know, they've dropped. That's what happens when they make their way to the birthing canal. Their heads like right above my vagina so if we had sex, you'd probably feel them if you went far enough" Lizzie gags making me laugh "ow ow no, okay no laughing mummy's got it. Sorry" I rub my lower stomach and then put my arm back around Lizzie's and lean into it "I'm not doing it now you said that'.
I put my hands on her knees and push myself up "are you okay?" "You don't have to ask me every time. I'm fine but I want to go" "to mom's now?" "Yeah. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay awake for" "okay, I'll get the dogs ready. Do you want to meet us in the car?" I shake my head and turn around "no. It's colder in here, it's like the Sahara desert out there" she laughs a little and stands up "whatever you say honey" she smiles and holds my bump between her hands. I wait on the chair for Lizzie to get Leia and Rey ready and when they finally are, Lizzie slides on my saddles from me and helps me out the door and into the car "got everything?" "Yep. Is the hospital bag in the car? I don't like going anywhere without it" she holds my hand and rubs my palm "they both are. Yours and the baby's and mine. There's nothing to worry about" I smile reassured and watch through the window as she locks up at the house and puts the puppy's in the boot. I turn the air on onto the coolest it will go and watch as Lizzie gets in beside me "come on babe, put the seatbelt on" she leans across me and pulls it across my body "I don't like it, it hurts and digs into me" she buckles it on and strokes my hair "bluey isn't licking it either huh?' I shake my head and rub my bump "he's going insane right now. He knows how much of a evil villain his mama is now". Lizzie buckles in herself and starts the Toyota "ssshhh it's okay. It's okay baby. We're both here" I sooth watching my stomach "what's he doing?" My wife asks taking one hand on the wheel and rubs her thumb across my belly "just Braxton hicks and baby yoga. Get your hand back on that wheel!" She moves it quickly making me relax. I sink into the seat and smile and my stomach, our baby's going to be here in the next few days.
