The Unhappy Bride

Second trimester

I finally began to show. Mike and I took pictures this month and got portraits done. We still haven't painted the baby's room. I only have five more months. I was done with the first trimester. I still hated coffee so I began drinking cranberry juice. I had to stop eating pickles too. It wasn't healthy but I still ate them from time to time. Today Mike and I were going start decorating the baby room. We bought the paint and all the stuff we needed to decorate the room.

"Okay blue for Michael and pink for Michelle." I said as Mike opened the paint cans.

"I know, just make sure you keep the mask on, I don't want you to throw up."

"Okay." I said as I grabbed the trays and paint brushes. He poured the paint and we began painting. I loved to draw, and paint so after we get done painting I'm going to do the designs. One half of the room was baby blue and the other side was light pink.

"Do you want to paint the roof?" He asked,

"No we're going to make it look like the night sky remember?"

"Kayla I don't think it's going to match. Why don't we leave the roof the way it is?"

"Okay I guess you're right.now we just have to wait on the paint to dry." I said as I walked to the living room. Mike followed. I sat on the couch as I rubbed my stomach. Mike sat with me and I kissed him. He rubbed my stomach. We felt the babies moving. It felt like they were fishing in there. I wished they come out now. My stomach was like two bowling balls and my belly button pokes out. I was hormonal. I had heartburn and sometimes I'd pee on myself.

"I wish they just come out already." I sighed.

"You only have two more months baby stay strong." He laughed.

"Don't remind me." I cried. Mike cuddled me next to him. I rested my head against his chest as he wiped my tears.

"Baby they'll be out in no time." He said as I fell asleep.

I went to the store and I picked up some baby clothes. As if I didn't have enough to begin with. I had to much things for them it was ridiculous. From the presents from the baby shower to all the things I bought. We had a lot of things. Mike hated that I kept shopping for baby stuff but we can never have to much. When I finished we went home and cleaned the baby room. We had closets and drawers full of baby clothes. There was so much stuff to put up. Toys, rattlers the whole nine yards. It was so much stuff.

"Do you want to put the cribs in our room of theirs?" I asked.

"Well we need to have at least one in our room Kayla." He said. We moved one of the beds to our room. We also had to baby proof everything, even the kitchen. It was so much to do still. After we cleaned the babies room. I went to my room. As I was walking there, I felt a sharp pain in my lower stomach and something dripping.

"Mike!" I cried as I fell to the floor. I felt like I peed on myself. I was having contractions. Mike came and carried me to the car.

"Kayla calm down. We're almost there." Mike called Brice and she called Kyle. When we arrived at the hospital they sent my to the back. Dr. Cooper was here. She made sure everything was okay. Sadly it was Braxton hicks contractions. She told me that happened when it's almost time for the baby to come. She sent me home. I cried all the way home. Mike carried me to the room from the car as I sobbed in his chest. He laid me down as he went to run bath water in the spa bath. When it was full he undressed me and took me to the bathtub. He bathed me. After that he wrapped me in a towel and carried me to bed. I dried myself off and put my clothes on. Then he gave me a full body massage. Not soon after I went to sleep.

"Alright Mrs. Austin this is a the end of your second trimester. Let's take another look at those babies. They should be here in about two, three weeks." She said as she turned the lights off. She showed us the babies. They were getting big. I saw all the little details. Their hands, feet and everything. It looked like they were playing with each other. Kyle was here with us again. Mike seemed to not acknowledge his presence. Every time he said or did anything he just ignored him. At least he's ignoring him and not arguing. The doctor seemed to not want him here either, but it was a little weird considering he might be the father.

"Alright Makayla. You already told me your birth plans and everything's set." She said as she turned the lights back on.

"Okay." I said as we left. Mike followed me as Kyle came out behind us. Mike and I went to back home. I had to pack my clothes and go over my birth plans. I want to have a natural birth. No drugs or anything. I want Kyle and Mike there when I give birth. I already had my own nurses and private room. Dr. Malcov and Dr. Cooper will be there too. Even when I go home. I'll have a stay at home nurse. Everything was planned out.
