*Beep Beep Beep*
I slam my alarm off and get off out of bed. I'm getting married today! Quickly I get jeans and a t-shirt on and leave my room. It's 5am Harry is still sleeping but I can't. It's May 10th! My-our wedding. I head downstairs and start breakfast. Chocolate pancakes, family favorite. Batter, water, mix, pour. One by one I flip the pancakes and plate them. I stick the stack of pancakes in the microwave to stay warm.A faint cry breaks through tge silence and I hurry upstairs to rescue my babies. Enya is sitting up on a corner looking at her closet. Michelle is screaming with gator tears down her face and Darcy is sleeping on her back. Hands on her belly with a itty bitty smile on her face. "Michelle, shhh mommas here," I coo as I pick her up. She sniffle and signs the hungry sign. I still breastfeed so I sit in the rocking chair and let her eat.
She calms quickly and I stroke her cheek. "Mommas here baby girl." I nurse her while the watching the sunrise. Beautiful colors. I stand up and pick out some clothes for the girls to wear until the wedding.
I pick out a simple slip on outfit and lay it out on the changing table. Michelle finishes her breakfast and I lay her down on the table.
She grabs her feet and plays with her toes. "Momma!" she screams.
"What?" I reply but recieve no answer. I simply smile and get her dressed. She sits up and I lower her to the ground. No longer an infant, now a toddler. Baby Elliott walks now, at 11 months. Baby carter is only 5 months and almost crawling.
The mattress behine me rustles and crinkles followed by a little voice. "Ouh (out) momma," Enya whispers. She's my little smarty pants, saying lots of words. I take her out and she walks to the changing table. Quickly I grab her clothes and help her onto the changing table.
She pulls off a sock and throws it on the ground. Followed by a giggle and the other sock. I dress her and set her down so she can roam the room.
I take a deep breath and smile. Two years ago I met this man. And now I'm gonna marry him. This has been my sister's dream all along. Now it's my reality. Michelle and Enya already left the room and out of sight. I follow them and open the baby gate they grab my fingers and we walk down together.
I set them in their high chairs and give them each a pancake. They eat eat and play while I get everything ready for the wedding. My make up specialists will bring all their makeup supplies. My hairstylist will bring all their equipment. All I need to bring is the dresses and people. Eveything else will be handled. I take the dresses out of my closest, it has a key lock so Harry can't peak. I take them to the van quickly while the girls eat.
Harry and I agreed that I would leave with the girls and he would stay and do whatever. Just be ready and at the beach house by noon. Wedding starts at 3. I have a lot of trust in him. Which is good in a relationship.
After loading the van with dresses I head back inside. The girls are done and are just jabbering away. I take them out and let them wander. Faint cries fill the room, Darcy's awake. The cries stop suddenly and are followed by footsteps. Gabbi appears, carrying Darcy on her hip.
"Don't become a bridezilla," Gabbi says happily.
"I won't, I promise," I reply as I take Darcy. "Pancakes in the microwave, we are leaving at 7."
"Ok, I can fees Darcy, if ya want," she offers. I hand her Darcy and she heads to the kitchen. The other two are playing in the living room. It's 6:05, have to get the girl's things together. Sippy cups, diapers, portable cribs, etc. We want happy babies at the wedding. So nap times are a must.
By the time I gather all of the necessary items for the girls its 6:49am. Gabbi is dressed and has Darcy ready. I buckle them into their car seats. Yes still in infant car seats, I'll get them new seats after the honeymoon.
