My day had been amazing for the baby but not the best for me. I had a full day of finalizing my appetizers with Sergio and I had been completely out of glands to taste any more food. While I felt completely satisfied with how much I had to eat today, our baby boy seemed to want to control my body as if it was his own.

Working whilst almost full term was taking a toll on me and although I knew that it was best for me to rest for the next few weeks, I was determined to get the menu finalized in its entirety. Matteo didn't want me to keep working but after telling him how much this meant to me, he backed off a bit. I knew he was still concerned for me and the health of our baby boy, which is why I was glad that I had the help of Sergio now.

Working with Sergio always felt light. I enjoyed his companionship and conversation. Sergio loved to tell me stories on how living in Colombia was for him and the things he learned about life in general and regarding the cuisine. Sergio was a great colleague to have and I was glad that we were working on revamping my restaurant together. I am glad that he was the chef up for the job.

I knew that Matteo may have felt a bit intimidated by me so privately with Sergio but I could assure him that Sergio was always respectful and it wasn't a secret that I was almost 9 months pregnant.

Matteo had a huge sponsorship deal and photoshoot that Todd was pushing heavily on him being a part of. I knew that Matteo was entering into a new space for his career and although I didn't want him anywhere near Bridgette, I knew what business my husband was in and I trusted him.

Unfortunately, Matteo had gone on the flight to California and typically whenever he lands or reaches the hotel, he will call me to allow me to hear his voice. Moreover, the next morning, we will talk deeper and check in. However, I knew of the time difference but still hadn't gotten a call from Matteo, only a text. I was getting worried as he had read my reply back but didn't send anything in return.

I was still up, regardless of the time difference, awaiting a call.

Me: Still up?

Again, he read my message so I knew he was awake still and our messages were reaching him.

After enjoying a relaxing bubble bath and tending to my selfcare routine, I got dressed in a cozy nightgown and moisturized my skin. Once I was all done and my hair was wrapped, I scrolled on my phone a little, waiting to hear from my hubby.

I adjusted my headscarf as I placed my phone down and reached for my pregnancy pillow and laid it down, then added another pillow for my back. I snuggled myself into the pregnancy pillow, wrapping my leg around the pillow and then pulling the comforter over me. I let my heater run for about an hour while I was getting ready for bed to get the room warm and toasty just as I liked it.

"What's he up to?" I mumbled to myself, confused on why he hadn't replied to my message yet. 

I pressed the button, initiating the phone call. I waited for him to answer but after 3 rings, it proceeded to send me to voicemail.
