GiselleCurry:Be still my beating heart. Quality daddy and daughter time while mommy studies for school.

It was a total of about 9 weeks when we were finally able to bring Riley home with us. I had to stay in the hospital for another week because my incision wasn't healing properly and I ended up having a mild postpartum hemorrhage, but being able to see Riley's little face made it all worth it. I didn't mind because I was able to be closer to Riley all I had to do was go directly down the hall. Even though I was pretty much healed, I was still taking things slow and didn't try to put too much strain on my body. Sonya stayed with us for two weeks to help us get adjusted to having a newborn after that she was like you guys are on your own. Ever since Riley was born on December 17th I haven't spoken to my mother and I have made it clear as day that I didn't want anything to do with her.

At this point in time, it was for the best. I need to focus on getting my health back since I still have high blood pressure. Maria cleared me last week to start back working out and I've been doing some type of exercise everyday. I was just trying to take it one step at a time while also trying to take online classes. Instead of taking a semester off I decided that taking classes online was better than nothing. That way when I decided to go back, I would still be on track to graduate early. I was currently laying down on the couch that was in the living room that we had on the second floor while Riley was taking a nap in her bassinet next to me. Stephen was on a seven game road trip and would be back in another day or so. For the time being it was just me and my favorite girl spending time with each other. As promised, Sonya was in charge of redoing the baby shower for Riley when both of us were able to go home. This time she got double the gifts that she got before. I was reading for one of my classes and taking notes when I got an incoming text from Sonya. I was thankful for it simply because I was slowly but surely falling asleep.

How is everything going? I know it's a little difficult since you're by yourself

I'm okay. Luckily she's sleeping right now so I was studying and taking notes for my class.

If you need me for anything tell me and I will be on the first flight out there okay?

Okay, I promise to tell you if I do.

Study hard and make us proud! I'll check up on you later.

I will and okay!

The fact that Sonya treats me as one of her own makes me adore her even more. I remember being scared out of my mind to meet her but she was honestly one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. I am so grateful and thankful to have someone like her in my life. Since I hadn't spoken to my mother, if Riley did something and I had no clue what to do I would call Sonya and she was more than happy to help me.

I had been looking like a train wreck ever since I came home and decided that later on today after I finished studying that I would go and get my nails done by my cousin Tiana and do some shopping since the baby weight is just about gone, even though my boobs were about three times as big as they were before, but I'm definitely not complaining about that. Just because I had a child now, I was not going to be one of those mothers that let themselves go. It helps that I'm only twenty-one and nothing has gone south yet. While I took a shower I put Riley's basinette in the bathroom since it's big enough so I could keep an eye on her and decided on an outfit.
