Leah's mum has been dragging her into this circus show on a Wednesday evening. She really didn't want to go there because she would rather have go to karaoke with her friends. She wasn't interested in these dancing and acrobatics at all. That was un...
We took James and Henry home three days ago. They have been absolutely amazing in the hospital and were free to go after three days kn the hospital. They are now one week old and they are absolutely perfect. Ellie started to pump up milk in bottles so I can feed them as well. The days are beautiful but also exhausting. The nights aren't so chilled tho. One of them wakes up, we feed him and then the other one wakes up. And so on and so on.

"Leah, did you see Henrys Teddy?" Ellie calls from the bedroom. I look at the couch and the crib in the living room. I can't see it.
"No, it's not here. Does he really need it?"
"Yes, he does." Ellie says. I make my way to the bedroom to check what's going on. Ellie is sitting next to Henry in his bed that is directly next to our bed. He seems to be a bit unhappy with his situation. He isn't crying but he is about to.
"He just needs something to hold on to." I say.
"Where is James?" Ellie asks.
"In the living room."
"You just left him there?" She asks in a shocked voice. I don't think it's that big of a deal.
"Yeah he is asleep." I shrug.
"I'm going there. You can take care of this." Ellie just says and leaves me alone. She is slightly annoyed because she didn't get much sleep lately. I look at Henry in his bed and think of what to do. He just needs his Teddy because of our scent. He doesn't really need it otherwise. I just take off my shirt and lay it around Henry in the bed. He softly grabs it and gets more quiet. I stay by his side for a bit longer and wait until he falls asleep. Then I kiss his head, change my shirt and leave him alone. I leave the door open a bit so we would hear him if he wakes up.
I go and join Ellie again. She is sitting on the couch with a mug of tea in her hand. I sit next to her. James is still sleeping peacefully.
"Why did you change your shirt?" Ellie asks me as she looks at me.
"Henry is sleeping with my shirt in his bed." I explain. Ellie smiles at that. She moves a bit closer to me.
"Are you mad at me?" I ask.
"Why would I be mad at you?" Ellie seems confused about my question.
"Because I left James here on his own." I say. I don't want her to be mad at me.
"No, I'm just a bit moody because I don't get much sleep." She explains and lays her head on my shoulder.
"You don't have to get up tonight. I can do it." I offer. I know she is exhausted.
"You don't have to take care of two babies at night." Ellie says. I wrap my arm around her and kiss her head.
"I want you to get some rest. You didn't rest properly since giving birth." I say. Ellie is about to fall asleep everywhere. Even now, she is closing her eyes again.
