I was so excited about the impending birth of our baby. It was getting closer and closer! In the 8th month I was excited, but at the same time, I sometimes got hormonal, but I didn't want to bother anyone about it, so if I craved something, I went to the supermarket to get it. Jesse was being amazing but I didn't want to hassle him. An example of that was when I was feeling chilly and went to find my bed socks.
What happened was, I had to put up a chair to stand on so I could reach into the higher space of the closet to fetch them.
"Olia, what are you doing, up there?" Asked Jesse when he saw me.
"Oh Jess, I had to get my bed socks, I was feeling chilly." I answered him.
"Babe, I could've gotten those for you, why didn't you say? Besides it's a little dusty up there, and it's very high up." He said.
"Honey I don't want to bother you for every trivial thing." I told him.
"And you're not." He said. "I'm supposed to take care of you."
Of course, that didn't mean he had to be my slave, and I told him that. And he told me simply to never think that.
Another time was when I was craving those Greek dark chocolate wafer bars - yes, the very ones I used to be the spokesgirl for - and I so I went to the supermarket to buy some.
"I would've gone to the supermarket had I known you wanted those." Said Jesse when I came home from the supermarket.
"Thank you, but I'm not about to send my husband out to the shops just because I've got some ridiculous craving." I told him.
"You wouldn't be sending me baby, I'd be happy to go." Said Jesse.
"Yesterday I was craving fresh rhubarb, and they're not even in season right now! I'd probably have to go to the other side of the county to get it." I told him.
"Well we've got a car." Joked Jesse.
"Oh Jess!" I laughed. "You are hilarious!"
"I'm glad I can get a chuckle out of you, my sexy, beautiful darling." Said Jesse, hugging me.
"It's not long now, is it?" I said.
"Not at all." Said Jesse. "Our baby will be here very very soon."
That very night, I got out my guitar to play Agnetha Faltskog's solo song from her 1975 album, the one she wrote about being excited about the impending birth of her daughter in 1973. I was able to translate and write down the lyrics in Greek.
My beautiful baby girl was born on November 15th 1990. She was born the same day as Frida from ABBA, and I was SO happy! I knew at that moment, I had to name her Frida. Jesse and I agreed that if our baby was a boy, he would choose the name, and if it was a girl, I would choose the name.
I was making breakfast with Therese when my water suddenly broke. She helped me onto the couch and comforted me as she called Jesse to come for me. Jesse and I drove to the birthing center where my Aunt Pelagia was working, and she would be the one to assist me with the birth!
Now this was one beautiful birthing center, and my room looked like a white palace room! It had a nice big bed and a bedside table where I could put my icons. It was great because it wasn't a hospital where there are many people in the room. It was just Jesse, me, Thea Pelagia, and of course our sweet baby girl!
I lay on the beautiful bed, resting before all the pushing, while my aunt stroked my legs.
"Just lay there and relax, agapi mou." She said softly, "I'm here, and so is your Jesse."
"That's right!" Said Jesse as he stroked my hair. It wasn't long before it was time for me to push, so I adjusted myself onto my back and got ready for the pushing.
Jesse held my hand and wrapped his arm around me as I pushed our baby out. I did the typical screaming because of the labor pains, but I was quite alright.
"Good girl, you're doing really well, sweet heart." Said my Thea Pelagia. She caressed me, comforting me through the pain. I kept pushing, and finally our baby came out and I heard her cry! I lay back and rested for a few minutes as Jesse cut the cord and all that other stuff was done.
My aunt handed the baby to me, and I almost teared up at how beautiful she was! Jesse put his arm around me, and stroked little Frida's head. I knew I wanted to name her Frida, after the beautiful ABBA brunette, especially since they shared the same birthday! Our daughter's full name was Frida Xantia Katsopolis.
"I'm your mama!" I said to her.
"I'm your daddy." Said Jesse.
After a few hours, we were able to go home. We couldn't believe it! We had a daughter and she was FINALLY here!
The next day, my godparents came to visit, then Jesse's mom, Vasilios and Anastacia, followed by the Tanners and other family members. We couldn't handle that many visitors at the same time, so we requested that it be one family at a time.
My beautiful Frida was such a good baby! She slept through the night, wasn't much of a crier, and Jesse and I were easily able to resume our sex life after about 4 weeks which is when my Aunt Pelagia gave me the "green light" so to speak.
I put my precious baby in her cot in the nursery. I strummed my guitar a little to soothe her before returning to the master bedroom. I was ready, I just knew I was, and so was Jesse. When we made love that night, it was so wonderful. My body looked the same, the pleasurable sensations were all the same, and I was still so tight as if I'd never given birth!
I still had the same beautiful orgasms as I always had, and knew Jesse desired me, and I mean knew because I saw it in his piercing eyes, and felt his strong desire for me when we made love. His passionate kisses, caresses and everything were his physical way of saying "you're still beautiful to me, Olia."
After our orgasms, we lay in each other's arms, caressing one another.
"You're still beautiful to me, Olia." Jesse whispered.
