Chapter 11: First Bath

The sound of Hannah's cries woke me out of my deep sleep, carefully getting out of bed I went over to the bassinet to get her and bring her back in the bed with me. I changed her and fed her until she was fast asleep in my arms and placed her back. I snuggled up to Joe's warm body and fell back asleep. I was so glad to be at Denise and Kevin Sr's because I had alot of help with Hannah, everyone loved to pitch in and help. I loved seeing Joe's face light up whenever he had Hannah in his arms, he never stops smiling everytime. While Hannah and Joe slept I snuck downstairs to get me something to eat and then take a shower. Denise had a sandwich made for me along with some chips and sweet tea. I was enjoying my sandwich and the nice quietness of the house when I heard Denise and Kevin Sr come into the kitchen. "Well there is the new momma!" Denise said to me smiling. "Hey, I snuck down to get some food and shower." I replied returning her hug. "Well that's good, being a first time mom is hard. Trust me." She replied back. I finished my sandwich and headed upstairs to take a quick shower before Hannah needed fed again. I went into the bedroom and there I found Joe snuggled up in the bed next to Hannah snoozing away. Smiling big I took the picture and showered. Hannah woke up once I was dressed ready to eat, I came out into the room to see Joe comforting her. "Shh mommy's here now. He whispered to her. I picked her up, fed her and changed her. During her changing her umbilical cord fell off, making me gasp. "What?" Joe asked me. "Her umbilical cord fell off meaning she can have a bath." I replied. "Yay lets get our stinky girl washed." Joe replied giving her forehead a kiss. Joe gathered the things we need and headed into the kitchen where Denise and Kevin Sr were talking. "Hey mom we were wondering if you could help us give Hannah her first bath?" Joe asked her. "Yes of course." She replied smiling big getting up from the table. She helped us fill up the kitchen sink and set her little bath in there while I carefully undressed her. Hannah was not happy to be undressed, she cried and cried. "Shh its okay, we are just giving you a bath." Joe told her taking her from me to get her in the water. Hannah absolutely loved the bath, she looked like a little fish moving around. Denise stood on the side telling us what to do, while we bathed her. When we were done, Denise had an extra towel laid out on the counter for us to lay her on to lotion and dress her. A few minutes later, she was lotioned and had a sleeper on snoozing away in Denise's arms. "She looks so cute." I gushed at to Joe. "Beautiful like her mother." He replied kissing me on the forehead. Kevin Sr took his turn holding Hannah in the living room while we all sat around watching tv. I smiled at the people around me thanking god I had them in my life.
