Paisley is one month old now and couldn't be any cuter! Bailey loved being a big sister

I was in Narvel and i's bedroom and I wasn't feeling all that well this morning. I was Trying to do stuff around our room to clean it because we've been so busy taking care of the kids it's a mess.... but I just couldn't.
I was sitting down on our bad while Paisley slept in the bassinet next to Me Bailey walked in to the room
"Hi honey, good morning, did you sleep well?" I asked picking her up and putting her in the bed with me.
"Yeah." She nodded and snuggled Into me
I kissed her head and I grabbed her brush from my nightstand and started to brush her hair. "Did you see daddy this morning?" I asked her as I brushed her head
Hair
"No." She said shaking her head
"Hmm" I said wondering where he was. I put her hair into a pony and I decided I should get up and make Bay some breakfast. I put her on my hip and I turned the baby monitor on in case Paisley started to wake up and cry.
As I was making breakfast. Narvel came down stairs and kissed my cheek
"Hey where have you been?" I asked turning my head and pecking his lips.
He smiled and kissed me back. "I was in the office." He said
I nodded and I gave Bay 1 small pancake and some apple slices.
"Thanks mommy." She smiled
"Your welcome baby" I kissed her head. I looked at Narvel. "I'm gonna go lay down." I said
"Okay baby." He nodded
I went back up to our room and Ms Paisley was wide away and she was kicking her legs around and moving her arms but not making a peep!
"Good morning sweet pea!" I smiled
She looked up at me and her face immediately brightened and she got excited when she saw me, she knew it was feeding time.
I giggled and picked her up and kissed her cheek. I fed her
She kept her eyes closed why'll she ate, she was so funny when she ate, she always falls asleep and then I take her off and she tries to latch back on because she's still hungry.
"Your so cute baby." I smiled big at her
Bailey walked in and watched me talk to Paisley. I knew she was starting to wonder when Paisley was going back to where she came from and I knew she was starting to feel like she was not the baby anymore. "I'm your baby.... I'm so cute... not her" she said standing in t the middle of my room
"Of course your my baby." I told her
"You just said she was" she whimpered
"You are my baby too. Come sit next to me." I said
She shook her head no and her little legs ran out of the room.
I sighed and shook my head. "Daddy!" I heard her yell for him
"What's wrong baby?" He asked picking her up and rubbing her back
"When does Paisley go back into mamas belly and stay I there?" She asked
"She doesn't baby girl, she is out for good" he explaine
"No she's not." She whimpered
"Yes she is honey" he rubbed her back
"No!" She started crying
He held her tight and let her cry
"My mommy and daddy." She cried
"Shhh, shhh, it's okay" he soothed
She was crying heard
"Bay, honey... how about we go to the store and get you a new dolly to play with?" He asked
"Mommy come to? No Paisley." She said
"Paisley has to come baby" I said
He
"No." She shook he head
"Yes baby" he said picking her up and taking her upstairs to our bedroom.
"No daddy:" she cried
He crawled into our bed and placed her next to me
"Hi beautiful." I smiled and pulled her close
She whimpered and looked away from me and Paisley
"baby." I said sadly
"No!" She whimpered
I kissed her head and rubbed her back
"Baby bad." She said
"The baby isn't baad sweetie." I said
"Yes she is!" She cried
"Why baby?" I asked
"She take my mommy and daddy" she whimpered
"I'm still your mommy and daddy is still your daddy. No one couldn't every take us away from you." I said
"Her!" She cried
No baby not even her." I saidn
"Yes" she crawled to the end of the bed
Narvel held her close
She got up and ran out again. She went to her play room and plopped down on the floor.
I handed the baby to Narvel and got out of bed. I walked to the play room and sat down next to Bailey
She looked at me and then grabbed her Dolls so I couldn't take them from her.
"Can I play?" I asked
She shook her head no
"Why not?" She asked
She didn't answer me
"Baby." I said
She just played
"I love you." I said
She looked at me and then turned away
"Bailey I love you." I said
She looked down and whimpered
"Baby come here." I said
"No" she moved away from me
"Yes baby." I said
She shook her head no. I sighed, a few hours passed and we were going out for lunch
"Mommy?" Bailey asked
"Yes?" I said
"I love you too." I smiled
I smiled back at her and Paisley started fussing. "Mommy" Bailey get nervous
"It's okay baby doll, she's just a little fussy." I said
Paisley started to get louder and started to cry. Bailey was so nervous but she reached over and put her passy in her mouth and rubbed her belly, just like I do when She's upset.
Paisley calm down and then started to smile at Bailey
"Hi" Bailey whispered at her.
Paisley smiled and cooed
"Mommy? She likes me" I smiled
"She loves you baby." She smiled
She smiled so big and looked back over at her. "I'm your big sister" she said
Paisley giggled at her
She smiled and we got to lunch.
The girls were being so God
"Mommy... can I feed Paisley?" She asked
"Good thing I pumped." I soles
She smiled
I smiled and grabbed a bottle out of the diaper bag, shook it up and handed to Bailey
She took the cap off the top and I held Bailey in my arms with her mouth facing Bailey. "Lunch time!" She giggled
Paisley giggled and smiled big
She smiled and started to feed her
Paisley smiled as she ate her lunch
Bailey also rubbed her belly as she ate.
"Good job baby." I smiled
She giggled and smiled. I looked at Narvel and smiled. "I'm surprised she's taking the bottle, the last few times she hasn't wanted it and I have to breast feed her." I said to him
"I think she just wants her big sissy to love as much as she does." He whispered
"I think so too" I said, I started to get a little emotional as tears filled my eyes. I wanted my girls to be best friends. I wanted them to love each other so much and it seemed like Bailey hated her. It was hard for me to have two girls and have one hate them and the other love her so much.
"Mommy baby is cute." Bailey smiled
"Yes she is" I smiled down at her and blinked away my tears, Narvel started to rub my back
We had a wonderful lunch
After lunch we went back home. Paisley fell asleep in the car so I carried her in. I got her in her crib and Bailey went down for a nap. Narvel came over to me. "What is she doesn't love her?" I asked him and he could just see that I was fighting and holding back tears.
"Oh sweetheart come here." He  said and pulled me close
I held him tight and cried hard into him
He kissed my cheek
We snuggled for a while
"Thanks." I told him
"For what?" He asked
"Being the best husband I could ever ask for." I smiled
"Only for the best wife and mommy to our kids... you do so much and I don't give you enough credit and I don't say thank you as much as I should.... you are honestly the best thing to ever happen to me." He said putting his forehead to mine
"I don't anything compared to how much you do. You work so hard all day long and then come home to help me out with the girls. If anyone should be thanking someone, then I should be thanking you." I said
"If it wasn't for you, then we would have to let another person into our lives to baby sit those crazy girls. You are amazing baby." He said
I smiled big and kissed him dee
"You are so good to me, you have dinner ready when I come home from work, you feed the girls, you don't even eat your dinner until I'm done with mine because you are doing other things for the girls. Let me do that from now on, you deserve to eat just like I have been for the longest time. I'm the idiot that doesn't notice anything." He said
"Baby I don't mind waiting to eat." I said rubbing his back and held him close to me
He held me tightly and kissed my temple. "I think we have both had a really long time since Paisley go here, that we haven't gotten to snuggle or talk." He said
"I miss snuggling every night I said
"Me too baby" he said
I kissed him and snuggled into him
"So I've been thinking" he said
"About what?" I asked
"I think 2 kids is plenty" he said
"You do?" I said
"You don't?" He asked
"I still want to try for a boy." I said
"Oh no no no. Reba we will not be that family who had 8 kids and then on their 9th baby they finally get a boy." He said
"That's not what I'm saying Narvel. I'm saying we try one more time." I said
"And if it's a girl?" He said
"Then we have three girls." I said
He sighed.
"If you don't want more, then we won't." I said
"It's just a lot to process. Three kids is a lot to me." He said
"We have gone to think about it." I said
He nodded and Paisley started crying
I got up and picked her up
She laid her head on my chest and calmed to a soft cry
I rubbed her back and kissed her cheek
She looked over at Her daddy
He kissed her cheek
She kept her head on my chest and stared at her daddy with her tiny little hand next to her head
"Hi pretty girl." He smiled
I smiled at them and she stopped fussing when he started to talk to her.
"You look so pretty." I smiled
She yawned and started to fall asleep to the sound of his voice.
He started to sing to her
She started screaming, he was an awful singer
"Okay okay daddy won't sing." He said rubbing her balc
She calmed down when he stopped and she curled into me and wiped her tears on me
I kissed her head
She yawned again
I smiled down at her
"She's such a mamas girl." I smiled
"She sure is." He smiled
"Can you go check on Bailey?" I asked him
"Yep." He nodded and got up
I sat on the bed and lifted Paisley up above my head. "Hello my baby!" I smiled
She giggled and smiled
Narvel came back, Bailey was still sleeping
He was rubbing her back soothingly
"I didn't say bring her in here Narvel!" I snapped in a whisper
"She wanted to come in." He said
"She's asleep!" I said
"Shh." He said
I rolled my eyes and turned away to him
"Daddy?" Bailey said in her sleep
"Hey baby" he soothed
she smiled and snuggled into him
He kissed her head
He got into the bed with me and we all snuggled as a family.  The next day....
I woke up and I was feeling even worse than I did yesterday, my head just wasn't there and my body ached. My stomach was upset and I felt light headed to a point where I thought I might even pass out.
"Don't worry about the girls. I'll take care of them while you rest. He said
"No they need me" I said
"Baby." He said
"I'm fine" I said
"Sweetheart you need to rest." He said
"Paisley needs to be fed and Bailey needs to get dressed and ready for school." I said peeling the blankets back to get out.
"Please just take it easy." He said
"I will" I said
"I love you." He said
"I love you too, now go get ready for work" I said
"Baby it's Saturday." He said
"Why wouldn't you tell me it was Saturday when I said I had to get Bailey ready for school?" I asked getting annoyed
"I thought you just school by mistake." He said
"Why would I be getting out of bed if I didn't have to get her ready for school? You just bring Paisley to me when it's time to feed her." I said
"That what I was saying before by you said they needed you." He said
I just rolled my eyes
"Mommy?" Bailey yawned coming into our room
"Hi baby girl" I smiled
She smiled and walked over to me
"Did you sleep well?" I asked picking her up and putting her on the bed with me
She hugged me tight and laid on my chest
"My baby" I smiled rubbing her back
"My mommy." She smiled
I smiled at her and kissed her head
She smiled and snuggled into me
I heard Paisley fussing
"I got her." Narvel said and walked to the nursery
She started to cry and Bailey perked up. "Sissy?" She asked looking around worried about her sister
"Daddy's going to get her baby." I said
She went to climb off the bed to run to her room to see her
I smiled at her and followed behind
"Sissy?" She asked walking down the hall with her blankets
Narvel was holding paisley over his shoulder
"Sissy!" She smiled big and ran over to Narvels legs when she saw him
Her
Paisley stopped crying instantly and smlled down at Bailey
"Good girl, no crying" she smiled and reached for her
Narvel smiled down at Bailey and picked her up
She looked at Narvel then at Paisley and then at her blanket that she carried around EVERYWHERE. "Sissy have it now" she said holding it out to her
"Oh sweetheart that is so sweet of you." Narvel cooed and brought them into room
She smiled and nodded he placed Bailey on the bed with me and he held Paisley up. Bailey was staring at her blanket and she laid her head on my chest.
I kissed her head and running my fingered through her hair
"I good sissy and give little sissy my big girl blanket." She sai d
"You are the best big sister ever!" I smiled at her
She just laid her head on my chest and wiped her eyes, she was crying. This was hard for her. This blanket meant everything to her. She loved it so much and she took it with her wherever she went
"Oh baby come here." I said pulling her close and kissed her cheek. Narvel walked into the nursery to grab Paisley one of her blankets so Bailey could have hers bacl
She wrapped her arms around my neck tightly and clung to me "sissy needs blanket more than me." She whimpered
"Baby she has her own you can have yours." He said and kissed her cheek
"No, she needs mine" she said, she didn't understand. I gave him a look to just let her give it to her.
He nodded and kissed her cheek again
She wiped the tears away
"Baby its okay if you want your blanket." He said
"No, I big girl" she said and went over and kissed Paisleys head.
"Yes you are a big girl." I smiled
Paisley looked at her
"Is that sissy?" Narvel asked her
Bailey got up close to her and and wrapped her arms around her small body and laid her head on Paisleys belly.
I smile at her and Narvtook a picture
Bailey closed her eyes and she calmed down from her crying.
I kissed there heads
They both fell asleep again.
