We got home from the hospital two days after the delivery. I was finally able to do things on my own! As soon as we walked into the house, I took in a breath of relief. I was so excited to bring Nicholas home. Henry and Belch had to leave for work, so they said goodbye and left. I took Nicholas upstairs, and I got him and I changed.
(outfits)
We came back downstairs, and we were both hungry. I breastfed him before I made myself something to eat. He was definitely my son. Doesn't skip a meal, always falls asleep right after. I found out very quickly that you need to find time to sleep while the baby sleeps, but you also have to make sure everything is taken care of around the house. Since I am the woman of the house, I cook, I clean, and I make sure everything is in order around this chaotic household. I've managed to find at least a two hour window of sleep while Henry and Belch are at work. I haven't been able to go to school because of Nicholas, so I talked to the school supervisor, and he set me up with summer classes. By summer, Nicholas will be 3 months, and I can leave him with Henry or Belch by that time. I'm a senior, so it's not like I have to go through more than just one year of high school.
Motherhood is fun, but it's exhausting. Henry is at work, and I'm home alone with Nicholas most of the time. Henry is still working two jobs, so he needs his rest, but I need my rest too. He really did a lot when we were in the hospital though. He would get up with Nicholas and rock him to sleep. He would lay him on his bare chest, and he was out like a light. Fathers put their children on their bare chests when they're born to soothe them. I needed to sleep after childbirth, and so the nurse said that skin to skin contact with the father would calm him down and make him sleep easier than if we were to put him in a bassinet. Henry was really enjoying being a dad, and the guys enjoyed being uncles. They all want to hold him at the same time, but the one who surprised me the most was Patrick. He's usually a psychopath, but he is so gentle with children and babies. He knew how to craddle Nicholas's head the right way so it didn't hurt his neck, he rocked him gently when he would fuss, and he hummed so the vibrations from his chest would soothe him to make him fall asleep. I couldn't believe how amazing Patrick was with babies. I was getting up every two hours to feed Nicholas, and it was really getting to me. I had to call for help. I picked up the phone, and dialed Patrick's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Pat! Can you come over?Please?" I asked begging through the phone,"I just need some help with the baby."
"I'll be right over, sweetie. Don't you worry,"he said blowing a kiss through the phone.
"Thank you so much!You're the best!"
"I know."
I hung up the phone, and fed Nicholas. By the time Patrick got to my house, Nicholas was already sleeping again.
"So, what'd you need me for?" Patrick said with a chuckle.
"Listen, I need to sleep! I haven't slept in what seems like forever, and when he wakes up, I need you to breastfeed him," I said.
"Well, I don't know how I'm supposed to breastfeed him because I don't have breasts to feed him with,"Patrick laughed.
I laughed and said,"No, not you actually breastfeeding him, just hook him up on me while I'm asleep."
Patrick looked confused,"So you want me to take your boobs out of your shirt to breastfeed the baby?"
"Precisely! Now, lemme show you how to hook it up," I said lifting my shirt up.
"(Y/N), I'm not trying to get outta helping you or anything, because if you want me to do this, I will, but don't you think Henry'll get mad if he knows I'm touching your boobs?"Patrick asked.
"Don't worry about it! Henry won't care because your helping me and him and our child! So basically, your a lifesaver!" I said easing his mind. Patrick agreed and did exactly as I told him. I was asleep, and so was the baby. At feeding times, I would feel Patrick helping the baby, but I wouldn't wake up. I was so tired, and Patrick isn't gonna be here all the time to help me out. I needed at least today to take some time to sleep.
I woke up 5 hours later fully refreshed. I thanked Patrick, and he left. About an hour after he was gone, Henry and Belch came home from work. I was sitting in the living room watching TV and feeding Nicholas. Henry walked in, gave me a kiss, and kissed Nicholas on the head. It was the sweetest thing to see Henry getting so involved with being a father. I was also excited to see Belch getting so involved with being an uncle. Life was great! Things had finally fallen into place.
