A week after Jack proposed to me I went into labor. How fucking ironic right?

Our son was born March 21st at 1:02 am. We named him Reggie Nathaniel Gilinsky. The name is pronounced Re-jee. I liked the name Nathaniel and Jack did also, so I'm glad we agreed on his middle name.


It took some convincing to get Jack to let me name him Reggie. I was sitting in the hospital room, Jack right beside me asleep in a chair of course. And my small handsome boy was right in my arms, safe.


He's only about 4 days old I think. I get discharged tonight around 10 o'clock ish.


Reggie began to cry, which eventually woke Jack up. He saw him and began to smiled in his face. It was the best thing to see.




"You want me to take him so you can eat? You haven't eaten in days Cristina" Jack mentioned.



He was right. I haven't eaten in days.





I just don't have the appetite to eat right now. I don't know why but I feel sick. And the nurse told me that it's normal. Most women feel sick after giving birth, don't wanna eat, body pains etc. But I don't feel any of that except I just don't feel hungry.



It's not that I don't wanna eat. I have eaten like animal crackers and soup and shit. But I haven't had a meal since before I gave birth to Reggie. I admit it was odd.



Also my tits were fucking huge. I don't know if they'll go back to normal size, most likely not the doctor said. Since I have to breastfeed and all that.




I honestly don't think I can breast feed. I tried it for the first time a few days ago and it hurt so damn bad, I just couldn't.



The nurse told me I could get this pump thing. I don't know what the fuck she was talking about but I put it in my notes on my phone.





I can use all the help I can get. Because I know nothing about having and raising a baby.




But best believe I'm going to be the best mother I can possibly be.





I'm just glad Jack has stuck with me this far. I mean I don't want to jinx it but, I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon.


"You look so handsome" I teased. "Well, I try" Jack ran his fingers through his hair. I laughed and rolled my eyes. "I was talking about both of you. Jack you look handsome holding our handsome son" I winked at him. I got up to use the bathroom and I could barely walk.


My body was starting to hurt, see this is why I keep my mouth shut, I jinxed myself.






"Uh, do you- do you want me to help you?" Jack got up quickly. "I can put him down if you need my help" He offered.



I told him I was okay.



He nodded and sat back down in the chair and talked to Reggie. I kept the door open while I went pee. It kind of hurt while I was peeing.






Oh my god, is that even normal? Is that supposed to be like that? Is my vagina supposed to hurt while I pee after birth?





God I felt so scared. I had so many questions I wanted to ask the doctor. Thank god I was seeing him later tonight. It's only like 3 in the afternoon right now but still.




Time flies when you have a baby.




At least that's what I've been told. One rule is my kid is not allowed to grow up too fast, I will cry in front of him.


I got up and wiped myself and washed my hands after flushing. I sat back down in my bed and turned my head to the tv.






That one doctor show that everyone watches but I refuse to watch was on. The one with like 20 fucking seasons. You have got to be bored out of your god damn mind to sit there and watch 13 seasons of a tv series.

I changed the channel because I'd seriously rather watch ANYTHING other than that.

"Well home sweet home huh" Jack kissed my forehead. I smiled and took a deep breath.



"Welcome home baby, this is where you're gonna be living for a few years" I smiled at him.



He smiled back and began to laugh. His laugh was the cutest thing I could've ever imagined. I didn't think having a kid was going to be this exciting. I know it's going to get harder as he gets older but I'm just going to enjoy the days like this for as long as I can.



Before you know it they're 15 years old and almost done with highschool.






"So, are we ready to show Reggie around the penthouse?" Jack wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I nodded my head, "I think so."



"Let's do this Mrs. Gilinsky" Jack grabbed my hand. I took Reggie out of his car seat and out him on my shoulder.




We started out in the living room and showed Reggie all around the house.





Yes we know he doesn't even know what's going on at the moment.



But it's something to do for now. Plus this is a new chapter in Jack and I's life.





I want to start fresh and make new memories. Maybe we can keep the old ones as well. I just can't wait to tell stories to our kids when they get older. Even though I was just talking about how I didn't want them to grow up too fast.





Oh, you didn't think I was done with just one child did you?



Of course not. Maybe not right now. But Maybe in about 4 more years or so we could try for another kid.




Hopefully this time we'll be much more prepared for this one huh?
