Malia is a week old now and she's got so much bigger. She's still tiny but she's growing and that more than what me and Lizzie could ask for.
I wake up and look beside me at Lizzie "huh! Pew" I smile watching her blow raspberry's on Malias tummy making her smile "is that funny? Is that funny?" She smiles making my hurt explode. "What a beautiful smile to wake up to" I coo and stroke her cheek "morning baby, we didn't wake you did we?' I shake my head "no I woke myself up by dreaming about you both". I sit up and kiss Lizzie's cheek making Malia smile "oh you like that?" I do it again and the same thing happens. "Did you reach across me to get to the bassinet or did you get out of bed?" I ask whilst making faces at our daughter "I got up and changed her diaper". Malia sleeps next to me because I'm the one who feeds her through the night whilst Lizzie does the nappy change, we take it turns each night to do the nappy change and tonight was hers. I take Malia from Lizzie's knees and feed her "what are we doing today?' I ask making sure Malias alright "how about baby cuddles and inviting someone over?' "okay, that sounds like a good idea. Can I have scrambled eggs with chives?' "now?" "In a little bit, after your hungry baby's been fed' Lizzie scoffs "your the hungry one" "only because I'm feeding and because I was pregnant. Before I had abs, I don't see any abs on you" "oi!" I smirk and stroke Malias cheek "mamas being a poop and so are you. Your growing up too fast princess, your going to be five before we know it". I stroke her hair with my other hand and smile up at Lizzie "she's perfect" I nod in agreement "she really is. Your both more than anything I could ask for" I whisper "aww baby" Lizzie puts her arm around my shoulder and kisses my cheek "I love you". Malia finishes feeding so I burp her and bounce around the room with her in my arms "do you think she'll have blonde hair or brown hair?' "probably blonde because it is now" I kiss Malias ear and hand her back to Lizzie "I'm going to have a shower before breakfast, are you okay on your own?" "We'll be fine. Go and have a shower" I smile back and go into the bathroom. "Malia let's have a bath" I say coming out the bathroom in a towel, Lizzie smiles up at me "shes having her first bath?" She awws and I nod "yeah and your getting in it with her" "why me?' "because I've already had a shower and I gave birth" "your going to use that for everything".
I hold naked Malia in my arms and watch Lizzie strip down into nothing "are you going to stop or?' I shake my head and stroke Malias cheek "mamas nearly ready for you bubba" Lizzie gets it the bath and puts her legs above the water, I pass Malia to her and she puts her on her legs so only her toes are in the water. She starts plashing around and we both laugh "your such a water baby" Lizzie over exaggerates making the baby smile "that's what you were doing in my tummy" I stroke her hair, she gently puts some water over Malias head but stops it from going on her face. I massage some baby soap onto her hair and her body and Lizzie washes it away "stop smacking your lips, there's aren't yours" I laugh and grab her towel "is she hungry?" "Well she's looking at my boobs whilst smacking her lips" I pick her up and wrap her in a towel "those are mommy's, not yours. Mommy's got yours" Lizzie gets out of the bath and I pass her a towel "I'm going to feed her and put her down for nap" "okay, I'll be out in a minute" I kiss her lips and take Malia back into the bedroom. "Come on then, let's get you fed" I sit on the bed and drop the towel from around my chest, she latches on quickly "good girl" I stroke her nose and watch Lizzie change in the bathroom "babe" I smile as she comes into the bedroom "hey" she leans over and kisses my lips "i love you" "I love you too" Malia starts fussing so i change sides "stop it. Your not getting all the attention" Lizzie giggles stroking her cheek "she's like a little hamster, her cheeks are full" "I'm not surprised. She drained the other one, that's why I had to switch her". "Do you want some breakfast?" "Yeah, what kind of question is that?"
Lizzie opens the door so I lay Malia in her crib "mm what have you made me today?" I ask pulling my top down "you'll see. Where's my baby?" "Sleeping""the dogs followed me up" Leia and Rey jump on the bed and curl up in balls "good morning" I coo and stroke both of them "babe" Lizzie puts a tray on my lap "ooo yay my favourite" I take a spoonful of the chocolate porridge and melt feeling it in my mouth "good?' "yeah".
Malia wake up from her nap so I lay her on the bed next to me whilst Lizzie takes the dirty things downstairs. Leia lays next to her whilst Rey lays her head on her tummy and surprisingly she doesn't move atall "aww that's so cute. You guys love you so much" I put Malias dummy in her mouth and stroke the dogs "can mummy join" I lay next to them on my side so I'm next to Malia and kiss her cheek "I love you all". Lizzie comes back with a smile "o let me join" she lays beside Leia and strokes her fur "Malias such a good baby, she didn't move an inch when these both joined us".
I get out of bed and watch Lizzie admire Malia who's on her chest "where are you going?' she asks making me smirk "to get my pump" she smiles and looks back down at Malia "well hurry up because she's getting hungry" I go to Malias nursery and bring them back "if she's hungry then I won't need to pump". I pick Malia up and cradle her in my arms when the doorbell rings "I'll go and get it" Lizzie says and stands up "are you sure? I don't mind going" she kisses my lips "you need to feed her". I sit on the edge of the bed and feed Malia "your so cute" I whisper and stroke her chubby cheek. After she's fed, I change her into a fresh nappy and babygrow and carry her downstairs "Lizzie who was it?" I ask walking down the corridor "us" grandma says and walks out the kitchen. I smile widely and walk over to her "you came? You came so fast" I say and hug her with one arm "well obviously we did. We wanted to meet our great grandaughter" both grandma and grandad look down at Malia in my arms and stroke her cheeks "aww she's beautiful" grandad whispers and strokes Malias head "she looks so much like yiu when you were born" i smile widely and look behind them at my wife "you can hold her. She's not very heavy and she's just eaten" grandma takes Malia from my arms. She squirms a bit and almost cries but once she's settled she's okay. I help grandma into the lounge so she doesn't trip over Rey and she sits on the sofa with grandad "would you both like a drink? There's tea, coffee, lemonade?" Lizzie asks watching them "we're okay' grandad says "grandma?" I check but she shakes her head. I shake my head at Lizzie so she knows they don't want anything "can you get me a water babe?' she nods and goes into the kitchen.
Grandma and grandad both coo over Malia whilst Lizzie and I cuddle up to eachother on the opposite sofa with Rey and Leia. "Do you have anywhere to stay?" I ask and grandad looks up at me "we're trying to book something but everything is either mega expensive or sold out" "you can stay here, there's a spare room which is made up and a bathroom which we never use" Lizzie says and I nod "yeah and then we can go out this evening" I joke. Grandma smiles and cradles Malia in her arms "if you both don't mind then yes. We could do some babysitting, I haven't forgotten everything" "I have" grandad jokes so we chuckle. I nod at Lizzie and tuck her hair behind her ear "I guess we're getting date night" she smiles softly and pecks my lips "stroke her nose, she normally opens her eyes if she's faking being asleep".
I get the fridge ready for grandma and grandad whilst we're out which involves pumping every single mirobe out of me. "babe can you get me some cheese. It's good for my milk" I ask my wife "honey they don't need anymore. Malia can't eat that much" "ugh fine". I put empty the bottles into bags and put them in the fridge "good job" I follow her back into the lounge "alright, the fridge is full basically to the brim. The bottles are in the steriliser and heat it in the microwave for thirty seconds. Oh and check it with your finger first' grandad gives Malia back to me and I sit next to me Lizzie "we got it. This is the first generation" I smile and stroke Malias nose "you can never be too careful. Huh" I kiss Malias forehead and lean into Lizzie. "How was your journey? Did you get a taxi?' I ask and they nod "yeah a taxi all the way here. Jarnette told us where you lived so we have the driver your address. The plane was okay, a bit of turbulence" "that's good. I was sick quite alot flying to London but that's probably because I was pregnant" "and if I knew, you wouldn't have come" Lizzie teases making me sigh "yeah well that's why I didn't tell you".
We have dinner and then get ready "bye baby, I love you" I kiss Malias cheek softly and stroke her hair "don't do anything bad like throwing the cushions or smashing my vase" I joke and follow Lizzie out to the car. "I feel bad. I feel like I haven't had a baby now, it feels like the old times except my vagina looks like a mangaled bit of beef" Lizzie laughs and kisses my cheek "she's safe and We're going to have a good time" she starts driving to the restaurant.
We arrive at the restaurant and I follow Lizzie in, we didn't make a booking because there wasn't enough time so we just have to hope there's a table that free. the waitor shows us to a two seater table and puts menus on the table Infront of us "thank you" we both sit down and look out the window at the mountains "well that's not a bad view" I shake my head and look at them with her "babe Malias going to be fine" Lizzie says rubbing my hand from across the table "I know she is but I can't not worry and stop thinking about her" Lizzie smiles "that's because your a great mom, but I promise she's going to be fine".
