Tired Days

19

The doctor sets the baby in Mady and wipes her off. Mady looks so mesmerized and Kara puts her hand over her mouth and starts to tear up. Mady reaches for Kara's hand and Kara grabs it. I kiss Mady on the forehead and walk out to tell our families that our baby is finally here.
When I walk out to the waiting room I walk in and Mady's mom and brothers, and my parents come over to me.
"We have our little Adley, she's so precious"
Mady's mom starts to cry and so does my mom, Grayson congratulates me and Tyler looks in disbelief.
I put my hand on top of his head and ruffle his hair, "it's real bub, you wanna see her", he nods his head yes and I grab his hand leading him back to the room. None of the other family members saw us leaving so we should be good.
  I open up the door and hear Mady's voice talking to Kara about random things.
  When Mady sees me she smiles and when she sees her brother she smiles even bigger.
  Tyler runs over to Mady and Mady tries to pull him up on the bed with her.  When she eventually gets him up there she hugs him and kisses him.
  "Sissy, where's the baby?"
  "She's in her crib, have Kara take you over there."
  Kara walks around and leads Tyler to the crib. I sit down in the edge of the bed and grab Mady's hand. Then I take away my hand and lean forward pushing back her hair and kissing her.
She smile into the kiss and I can feel the happiness radiating off of her. I k ow how miserable she was during the pregnancy so it's good to see her happy now.
  "You did so good baby"
  "Thank you...I guess" she laughs a little after she answers.
  Kara tells us that she is going to take Tyler back out and bring in Mady's mom and other brother.
  When she leaves I walk over to Adley's crib and grab her out. Having her in my arms is so amazing, this being lived inside my fiancée and grew, little parts of her will be like me and it's crazy.
  I walk back over to Mady's bed and sit back on the edge. Every so often she will make little baby noises and it's my favorite thing ever.
Mady reaches her hand over and grabs Adley's hand. After about 7 minutes Kara has not returned. I think I faintly remover the door opening and then closing. Oh well.
  Mady scoots over, making room for me to sit next to her and I gladly oblige. I hand her Adley while I adjust and then take her back.
  We turn in a movie for background noise on the tv. Mady has to feed the baby every so often, this is perfect. I can already see how perfect our life is going to be.

Mady's POV
We are finally able to bring our little Adley home. Thank God we finished her room last week. We had to paint it, decorate it, and baby proof it. But we did it and now she can go home and keep her clothes in there. Kian and I decided for the first few months we are going to let her sleep with us in our room. We have a little bassinet beside our bed so she won't get squished by us.
  When we finally arrive at home, Adley is sound asleep. Kian grabs her out of the backseat and carried her in meanwhile I take in the hospital bags and anything else. The hospital supplied us with a bottle, but we have plenty from our baby shower and our own buyings.
  We walk up to the nursery and just seeing Adley in there makes me emotional. I start tearing up. Kian looks over at me and looks worried, so I reassure him they are tears of happiness and relief.
  The nursery is painted gray and blush pink, and on the wall above the crib, there are wooden letters that say, "Adley Cheyanne"
  We decided on the name a few months back when we were sitting at the table. Kian has been thinking for a moment and eventually said "Cheyanne" then I mentioned Adley. We loved both names so much but couldn't decide which to name her. She was either going to be Cheyanne Adley or what she is now, Adley Cheyanne. We figured Adley was a shorter, easier name.
   My mom had bought a frame for us before she came to the hospital. On the bottom of the frame it says "our baby".
  I decided instead of just a picture of Ads, I would get a copy of her birth certificate and print out a small picture of all three of us in the hospital.
  Kian takes Adley out of her car seat and taker her over to the changing table. He changed her diaper then handed her off to me because it's feeding time.
  After 10 minutes I am done feeding and have decided to change Ads into PJ's. I grab a blue and white flowered bedtime onesie and changed her into it.  Then I picked her up and carried her to my room with me. In there she lauded on her Boppy while I changed into Pjs and did my night routine. It's only 6:30 but I am getting sleepy.
  After I'm ready I pick Adley back up and take her downstairs with me. With it being her first day home, I don't want to leave her alone.
  We walk into the kitchen and join Kian at the table. He has made dinner and was waiting. I grabbed my breastfeeding wrap thing and adjusted Adler and myself so we could both eat comfortably.
  Kian made burgers and fries for dinner. He also got us sweet tea and potato salad, the perfect summer dinner.
  We went to bed around 8:45 because we were all exhausted. I knew I wouldn't be getting much sleep but I was still overjoyed by the thought of having a baby. I easily fell asleep at that thought.
