Our time in London had finally come to an end. The show was wrapping up and Austin was able to leave early to go back home to prep for another project. Lately i've felt like we've been so distant because of his constant projects or press. Luckily the time he'd spend at home over the next couple months would be spent doing workouts or other things he needed to do to prep for the movie.

I was still battling my own internal battle on why I had yet to get pregnant. I didn't understand why it was so hard for me. Maybe it was stress or other things I was battling in my head on top of the stress of trying to get pregnant but it just simply wasn't working for me. I was starting to blame myself and couldn't pull myself out of this depression I was going into.

We made it home this morning extremely early and went straight to sleep when we got here. Sarah was here to watch the house and collect my millions of packages off the front porch and put them in my closet for safe keeping and shelter from Austin seeing them and simply saying "we don't have room for another pair of shoes." Which was simply not true. I could always find room for more shoes.

I walked out into the kitchen to make myself some coffee and watch some tv. It was around 2 pm but the jet lag was really killing me right now. I turned the tv on and draped a blanket across my legs. I sipped my steaming hot coffee and caught up on the latest celeb drama when my phone started ringing.

I looked down at the name. Callum. My new found guy bestie.

I answered it and his face appeared on the screen. I immediately regretted not looking in the mirror this morning because I looked like I caught a ride on the tail of the plane and was left on the runway.

"Hi Callum. what's going on?" I asked. "Are you guys struggling with the jet lag yet?" He asked. "Absolutely." I said. "How's little Austin taking it?" He asked. I got up off the couch and creeped through the house to our bedroom door and flipping the camera so he could see Austin curled up on the bed under the covers. "He's so cute when he sleeps." Callum said laughing. I giggled and closed the door behind me so he could continue to sleep. "Okay so I really called to tell you the drama for today." He said. "Oh okay, good i'm ready." I replied, reclaiming my spot on the couch.

"okay so basically we were shooting this one scene and Barry was in it, and he tripped and face planted on the concrete, and he was supposed to have a fake bruise but ended up having a real one." He said, I laughed as I tried to visualize the accident.

"Classic Barry." I said. He laughed, "You're so right." He added. He was driving home from set it looked like. With the time difference it was basically bed time for them. "I miss you guys already." I said. "We miss you too." He said, "Especially me." He added.

"Whens my little buddy waking up?" He asked after a moment of silence. "Who knows. He's a little sleeping beauty right now." I said. "How long has he been out?" He asked. "Since like 10 this morning." I laughed. "Jesus!" He yelled through the phone.

After I got off the phone with him, I continued watching some tv and finally the bedroom door opened. "Goodmorning sunshine." I said. Austin walked into the living room and fell out on the couch again. He was cuddled up next to me. "I'm literally so tired. Like I can't catch up on sleep." He said. I played with his hair as he laid next to me. "I'm sorry baby." I said.

We laid like that for a while. Before he popped up off the couch finally. "What are you gonna do for the rest of the day? Also what was Callum up to?" He asked. "No idea, and telling me that Barry busted it today and it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen." I said. "Sounds about right." He laughed.
