“It’s hard to figure out what to do now that he’s here, huh?”
She nods and leans over to look at Benjamin sleeping.
“Is this all he does?”
I laugh and smooth her hair back from her face so I can see her.
“For now, yes. Babies sleep a lot when they are firstborn because they do a lot of growing. He’s just going to be eating, sleeping, and needing diaper changes for the first few months.”
She scrunches her nose up at the diaper changes.
“But eventually he is going to start playing with you. He’s going to laugh and squeal, and he’s going to watch everything you do because he is going to love his big sissy so much.”
She smiles widely at me and sits back in my lap.
“Will I be able to help you?”
“Of course. With whatever you want, but if you don’t want to do something, then you don’t have to.”
She nods and the door opens as Chandler leads his parents and Kayla into the room. They all greet me and Sophia and then crowd around the baby as Sophia stands on the chair next to the bed and holds her hands out toward him.
“This is Baby BB, my little brother.”
She says it so proudly that everyone starts talking to her about how great of a big sister she already is. Chandler comes and sits on the bed next to me and wraps his arm around me.
His mom comes overs to me first and hugs me tightly to her chest.
“How are you doing, sweetheart? Do you need anything?”
“I’m fine, just tired.”
She smooths my hair from my head, just like I do with Sophia all the time, and smiles at me.
“Is the baby okay? He’s not here too early, is he?”
Her concern is sweet and makes me love her even more.
“He’s completely healthy. The doctors have checked him out and given him a clean bill of health. They want to keep the both of us a couple of days just to be sure, but they said that we will most likely get to go home the day after tomorrow.”
She sighs with relief. “Good, now excuse me, I’m going to get my grandson.”
She turns and leaves us sitting on the bed by ourselves and goes and take Benjamin right out of her husband’s hands.
“I told you she was gonna take him from me.”
I laugh and pat his leg as he pouts over the fact that his own mother has taken his son from him.
“I think you better get used to the idea of him being stolen. We have a very protective big sister on our hands who’s going to fight you for him.”
We both look over at Sophia who is standing guard over her brother.
“She has a bedtime that I’m allowed to enforce.”
I love that he is acting so boyish over his baby boy.
“I also find that I’m not as upset over the thought of her stealing him from me. Look how freaking cute she is.”
She is pretty damn cute.
