Facing Adversity

facing advesity chapter thirty-eight

When I finally woke up from
My nap. I didn't realize that I was that tired, being pregnant has taken a lot out of me these days
But I'm grateful to be reunited with my wife. After not seeing her beautiful face for a month
I missed her touch, her making love to me all night long. The connection we use to share,
Has brought us back together again in this great big house
I wish our parents were supporter of our lifestyle. There missing out on their, granddaughter who they never grow up. I know that Stef feels the same way, if l had to go back and do all over again. I would still choose Stef, l didn't understand why they couldn't accept. I've dealt with it and accepted it, our parents will never change. As long as l have Stef and Francesca nothing else matters, l tried everything
And sometimes it makes me sad to feel like they don't care.my mom and dad have always been old fashioned. When I was growing up, Stef's were strict on her to, where not going to raise our kids with those values. We want our children to free feel and express themselves, l remember the day. We got married, it was one of the best days of my life. As we stood at the altar, with our dresses on
With a few of our friends we're there to support us, and honeymoon in Paris. We are more in love than before, we both graduate and earned our degrees, Stef and l graduated at the top of our class. I remember our first apartment, together
Stef used to write me love letters back then. I kept every since letter, Stef was poetic with her words. Stef used to sing to me
While she held me in her arms
When we had Frankie, she overcome with emotion. Stef has gotten me through morning sickness, the sleepless nights
Now where having our second child. We get to do it all over again, after this baby is born
I'm getting my tubes tied. Stef was in total agreement with me, but l wouldn't trade our kids in for nothing in this world, Frankie has Stef's hazel eyes and my brown and blonde hair. Francesca is so much like Stef caring, loving, sensitive and sees the good in everyone. My daughter comes in the room to tell me, Stef ordered pizza. As Frankie climb on the bed with me. As she lays her head on my stomach, so she could feel the baby's movements. I lean down to kiss her forehead, we both got off the bed. And went to downstairs to see Stef setting the table, Francesca took a seat on the chair. Stef put Frankie's food down in front of her, Frankie ate her salad first. Stef brought me over a bottle of water so I could take my medicine before eating my dinner. The doctors had me on three types of pills, one was for morning sickness and the other was a iron. And lastly my prenatal vitamins, which l hated taking. Cause they sick to my stomach, we ate together as a family. Like we use to do back in San Francisco, before things got crazy. I have a doctor's appointment with my doctor
I brought up to Stef, about a water birth delivery this time
She was total on the board with the idea. The doctor where seeing tomorrow specializes in that Stef told me. Stef was the one who booked the. appointment, after dinner Stef loaded the dishes in the dishwasher. We went upstairs
Stef ran Frankie a bath, while l went into our bedroom to read a book, Stef got Frankie all brand new clothes cause she out grew the old ones. Francesca is tall for her age, l can't believe she's going to be six in two months. And she'll be entering first grade
We have to take her to get tested next week at the new school, where she'll be attending in the fall.
