"Mommy daddy it's Christmas!" Mason shouted bouncing on top of me with Izzy. "Okay you two, be carful of mommy" I said pulling them into a hug "can we open our presents!?" They asked "who said you were getting any presents?" I asked laughing "Santa because we've been good" mason said "well we will have to see" I replied "can we wake up mommy?" Izzy asked "iz, you know she's super tired because of the baby" i said to her "but I want to open presents" she said sadly "we have to be patient" I said to them "why don't we go downstairs and then mommy can come later" mason asked "Okay we'll see" I said as they excitedly jumped out of bed and waited at the top of the stairs "no going downstairs" I said to them, they nodded mischievously, I looked at the clock. 7.00. It was pretty good for them. "Liza baby, we're going downstairs you can stay asleep if you want" I said knowing she's super tired "no, I want to come" she replied "okay come on then" I said getting up "I can't get out of bed" she replied "I said you could sleep a little longer" I said to her "no I mean I'm that pregnant that I can't get out of bed" she replied laughing, making me laugh too. I walked round to her side of the bed and pulled her up, even though she literally has a whole baby inside of her she's still pretty light. "Okay, ready?" I asked "no I need to pee" she said starting to Jog to the bathroom "note to self jogging hurts" she then said making me laugh "Can we go yet?" Mason asked from the stairs "no mommy needs to pee first" I called back. "Okay I'm ready now" Liza said smiling as she came out of the bathroom "Okay let's go" I said taking out my camera. I never put these kind of bits on the vlog, me and Liza just like having them to look back on. "Oh my gosh!" Mason said as he saw all the presents "mommy look!" Izzy called to liza who was a few steps behind me "You okay?" I asked noticing she looked like she was in pain "yeah I'm fine, it's pretty difficult to go down stairs when you're 37 weeks pregnant" she laughed I smiled and took her hand helping her. "Can we open them!?" They asked "yup, but read the tag to see who's wrapping paper is whose" I said to them "mason will you read this?" Izzy asked "should I show you how to read?" He asked, she nodded "if it looks like that letter, an i and two z's and a y then it's yours but if it's a m and a and s and o and n then it's mine" he said she nodded "so this one is mine?" She asked holding one up "yeah!" He said high giving her "aw that was so cute" Liza said smiling "Liza, don't get too caught up in it you're not even down the stairs yet" I laughed, she playfully hit me as she walked slowly down the last couple of stairs. We sat on the couch watching them open all of their presents which was so cute. I looked over to liza to see her looking in pain with her hands rested on her bump. "Are you okay liza?" I asked her resting my hand on her leg "yeah, Braxton Hicks" she replied "you're sure it's not the real thing?" I asked kinda worried "no, the real thing hurts way more than this" she replied "okay baby, you got it" I said seeing she was still in pain, I rubbed the bottom of her back as I knew it helps and placed a couple of kisses in her head "finally" she said breathing out as it was over "you're sure they're Braxton hicks?" I asked again "I'm sure Bubba, we aren't having a Christmas Day baby" she laughed.

Once the kids had opened their presents and had breakfast they got changed into their cute outfits for today and first, Lizas parents arrived and then mine. We were going to go to my moms but we all agreed that since Liza is literally due in weeks, it was probably safer to stay in our house. "Hey mommy!" Liza said opening to door to see her mom "hi liza!" Jean said wrapping her arms around her "wow look at your bump!" Her mom said "I know I think I'm going to pop" Liza replied smiling, Liza moved out of the way to let her parents in and she also hugged her dad at the door "hi David" Liza's mom said wrapping her arms around me "hey" I replied "how are you, is she grouchy?" She asked signalling to liza as she laughed "I'm great and no it's been great" I replied laughing "aw David I don't know anyone that I would rather Liza be with, you're so good to her" Jean said to me "well thanks for having Liza because I couldn't think of anyone I would want to love more" I replied. "What are you two saying?" Liza asked raising her eyebrow "oh nothing at all sweetie" Jean said to liza then going to the kids to give them hugs and presents "David, you okay?" Lizas dad asked "yes sir" I replied "you looking after my girl and my grand babies" he asked "of course I am" I replied "good, you really are a good man" he said patting my shoulder. "My parents love you" Liza said standing in front of me and holding my hands and standing on her tiptoes to kiss me. "I love you" I said smiling "I love you too" she replied, we joined Lizas parents and soon after my parents arrived and my siblings "woah Liza you're so pregnant" Ester said as she walked in "37 weeks baby" Liza replied resting her hands on her bump.
We all exchanged gifts and had dinner which was super fun, spending time together.
It got pretty late and my family had gone home as well as Liza's dad but her mom was staying with us until we have Maddy.

"David, can you get me a blanket please?" Liza asked, sitting next to me. Izzy and mace had gone to bed a couple hours ago and me, Liza and her mom were on the couch watching a movie "Yup" I replied getting up and getting her a blanket even though I had just gotten confortable. I sat back down and snuggled into her.
We got about halfway through the movie when I noticed Liza was holding her bump and breathing deeply again "Braxton hick?" I asked taking her hand and rubbing her back again. She nodded and it soon passed "baby you're sure these are just fake ones?" I asked "yeah I swear, this happens all the time doesn't it mom" she asked looking over to her mom "i mean if they haven't been constant all through today they can't be but they do look like they're putting you in a lot of pain" she said "yeah but it was the same pain from this morning so it means they haven't gotten any stronger or worse" she replied "okay then, I'll take your word" her mom said smiling. "I'm going to go off to bed you two, goodnight" she said kissing both of our heads "I love your mom" I said once she was up the stairs "more than you love me?" Liza asked looking prétend offended "of course not, but she made you so she's coming close second" I said laughing "merry Christmas Bubba" Liza said "merry Christmas baby"
