Merry Christmas And a Happy New...

Harry and I have been running around like crazy for the past two weeks. We've been buying things for the baby, presents for Christmas, decorations for the baby shower, decorations for Christmas, food for the party, and everything in between. December is not my favourite month this year. And carrying this baby around makes me crave food, I'm tired most of the time, I'm up due to him kicking.. It's a madhouse.

Now it's Christmas Eve/Baby Shower day/Christmas Party day/my Birthday. Crazy. Both of our families are going to be over, it's going to be warm, and I'm going to be cranky if I don't fit a nap in soon. I've been helping Harry decorate since he's been in the kitchen all morning cooking. Poor thing, I feel so bad for being a terrible cook.. I have to see if he needs any help.

I make my way into the kitchen with my slippers on my feet so I can just shuffle everywhere. I wrap one of my arms around his waist and smile a little at him. He's got about three big pots on the stove, two turkeys in the oven and another two waiting to go in once they're done. The fridge is loaded with drinks and the food that needs to be kept cold, and on the counter, gingerbread cookie dough, flour, and empty boxes and bottles of ingredients. Harry wipes his forehead with the back of his wrist since he has flower on his hands, panting a little as he looks down at me.

"You alright?" He asks.

"Am I alright? I'm fine, but you look like you could use some help." I grab a damp cloth and wipe the flour off of his hands, then take one of them in my own.

"Lou, baby, it's not the time for a blow-job right now. Later, I promise." Harry goes back to stirring the vegetables in the pots, but he looks at me with furrowed brows as I laugh.

"No, Harry, I don't want to give you a blow-job!" I giggle. "Do you need any help with the food? You're exhausted, darling.." I turn his head to look at me, then press a small kiss to his lips.

"Oh.." He chuckles then looks around the area, probably searching for something less than easy to do. "Alright, listen carefully okay?" I nod my head. "I'm going to take the two turkeys out of the oven and wrap them in tinfoil. You can put the two other turkeys in the oven, then press 'reset' on the stove. That will reset the timer. If these vegetables start to bubble, just take the lid off and stir them with this spoon. There are gingerbread men in the other oven, when you hear a beep in about five minutes or so, take them out and lay the tray on this towel so it doesn't burn the counter top. When the timer for the turkeys goes off, take them out and put tinfoil over them. After that, there is some icing in the cupboard, you can decorate them when the bubbles in the vegetable pots go down. Got it?" I stare off in the distance, trying to make a mental note to myself of the list he gives me.

"I got it. When I'm done with the cookies, I'll come get you." I smile and tap his cheek lightly, then let him take the cooked turkeys out of the oven. He pecks my lips lightly before he jogs upstairs.

"You're the best, baby. I love you!"

"I love you too, daddy." I smile at the nickname, receiving a joyful grin from Harry. We started calling each other 'dada' and 'daddy', just because it's cute and we wanted to get used to it. Right, I have to remember not to do that when the company arrives.. Shit, the turkeys! Stupid baby brain going on.

I quickly pick up the two un-cooked turkeys and set them in the oven, quickly closing the door afterwards so the kitchen doesn't heat up any more than it is at the moment. How does he cook in this heat? What now.. The timer. I reach over the pots and press 'reset', a grin making its way to my face when it beeps. Perfect! I'm not so bad with instructions after all. Now, are the veggies bubbling.. I pick up the spoon that Harry had told me to use, and stir one of the bubbling pots before setting the spoon back down.
