33. First Night

Brandon 💜

Brandon and I got home from the hospital with baby Sarah a few hours ago. Early this evening. Things have been going good so far but we are about to get her ready for bed now. It's around 8pm so we are getting her ready for bed. We've only had a little bit of time at home. I am sat in the chair in the nursery feeding baby Sarah before we put her to bed. Brandon finds me breastfeeding weird but it's best for the baby so that's why I do it. He walks into the room as I'm feeding her. "How are you doing?" he said. "Good. She's nearly done I think. You don't have to watch if you don't want" I reply. "Nah it's fine. I don't mind" Brandon replies. When I had done feeding Sarah, I put a clean diaper on her and Brandon puts her pjs on. "There you go, baby girl. I think you're good to go to bed" he said. Sarah starts crying just a few minutes later. Brandon hands her to me and I calm her down before placing her in her crib. She closes her eyes and falls asleep. Brandon and I go outside quietly and sit on the couch in the lounge. "Hope she sleeps for a while. I just need a little time with you" he said. "Yeah hopefully, baby" I reply. Brandon smiles and kisses me. We hope Sarah sleeps most of the night

Zion 💙

Me and Zion have just got baby Kamari settled down for the night. It took some doing but we finally got him settled and hopefully he'll sleep for a while. We got back earlier and it's great to have our son home. Kamari has been sleeping for nearly two hours now which is good. Me and Zion will head to bed soon as we are tired. "I hope he'll let us get some sleep tonight as we both really need to, babe" Zion said. "Yeah me too, babe. Hopefully he should" I yawn. Just as we were going to head to bed, baby Kamari cries. We go into our room where he is. "Hey. What's up, little boy?" I say. I pick him up and realised that he has a pretty stinky diaper so I lay him down on the changing table and change him. I think I've got used to changing diapers even though it's only been a couple of days. Zion hasn't attempted yet but I'm going to get him too. Kamari stops crying when I've changed him so I settle him down and get him back off to sleep. "You're a great mom, Y/ N" Zion said. "Thanks. I don't think I'm doing too bad even though it's only been a couple of days" I reply. "You're great at everything" he said kissing my cheek. With Kamari settled we get into bed and try and sleep. Hopefully he'll sleep for a while as we need sleep too

Edwin 🧡

Me and Edwin are getting the twins settled for their first night at home but it's proving quite difficult atm. At least there is two of us though. Nala and Nia have been quite restless since we got home with them earlier but I guess they are just getting used to their home. We have put them down in their cribs several times but they are not falling asleep. "Why don't you think they are falling asleep, babe?" Edwin asks. "I don't know. Maybe they are just a bit restless. Maybe we should give them sometime. I gave fed and changed them so they should be happy" I reply. "Yeah I guess we should maybe go out for a while and see if they fall asleep while we're not in there" he suggests. "Yeah good idea we should" I reply. We grab the baby monitor and leave the room silently. The baby monitor is a camera so we can see what the girls are up to. We sit down on the couch and look at the monitor to see if they fall asleep. They are wriggling around but we hope they will soon. About half an hour later and both girls had fallen asleep. Finally. Thank God. I don't know what we would've done. "Finally they are asleep. It's such a relief" Edwin said. "Yeah and hopefully they'll sleep for a while" I reply. "Yeah I hope so too" he replies. Anyway we leave Nala and Nia to sleep till they wake up which wasn't too long actually

Nick ❤️

Me and Nick got baby Drew to bed a few hours ago. It's now 1am and we are in bed now as it's late and we are tired. Before we became parents we should stay up till the early hours cuddling and watching TV in bed but now we are parents we need just as much sleep as our baby. Drew has been good so far since he was born. Last night he wasn't too bad either. Tonight is his second night at home. As we were sleeping we were woken up by baby Drew crying. "I'll get him" Nick said. "Okay" I groan. Nick gets out of bed and walks over to Drew's crib which is near our bed. He picks him up and takes him over to our bed. "Hey. What's up, little man? Can't you sleep" he said. "He might need his mamma" I say. "Yeah" he said. Nick hands Drew to me and I see what's wrong with him. "I think he's hungry, Nick. I'll feed him" I say. "Okay, sweetie. Do you want to sit in the chair?" Nick replies. "Nah I'll be fine. I'll do it here" I reply. I hold drew and let him suck my left breast. Nick sits beside us and watches. "You look so beautiful and natural when you are feeding our son. I can't take my eyes off you both" he said. "Haha thanks. I'm glad you still find me beautiful when I've just had a baby" I reply. "Of course I always find you attractive, honey. Forever and always. Don't ever doubt yourself" Nick said. I smile and he kisses me. Soon I was finished feeding Drew so we put a fresh diaper on him and put him back to bed. Then me and Nick go back to sleep

Austin 💚

Austin and I are just getting little Amelia settled for her first night at home. Earlier this afternoon and things have gone well so far. Our beautiful little girl is a joy and no trouble at all. We love her so much. I have just fed her and Austin is changing her now and putting pjs on her as I'm in the bathroom. We share diaper changing duty equally between us. All I finish in the bathroom shortly after and go back into Amelia's nursery. "I think she's all good now. Let's get her to bed" Austin said as I came back in. "Yeah. Thank you for that, babe" I reply. "No problem, sweetie" he smiles. Austin and I go into our room next door with Amelia. He rocks her and she falls asleep soon after. Austin definitely has the magic touch with our daughter. When she was asleep we place her in her crib and leave her in peace to sleep. We sit on the couch and have sometime together. "It was pretty easy getting her to sleep. Don't you think?" Austin said. "Yeah it was. Hopefully it will be like that every time but it probably won't be" I reply. "Well all babies are different I guess. We've got a good little girl, Y/ N" Austin said kissing me. "Yes we have" I reply. "She's our blessing" he said. "She really is" I reply. So Amelia slept for a while before waking up for a feed. The first night wasn't too bad. We have a super good little girl

A/ N: I liked this part. Did you?
