It’s been a week since we came back home from the hospital and everything is great even with the sleepless nights, it’s not as stressful as I thought it would be, maybe because I have tons of help, my mom hasn’t went back to work so during the day, she takes care of the baby which allows me and Ashley to rest, take a nap and shower. The supplements the doctor told me to buy to be able to produce enough milk are working like a charm, that and drinking a lot of water. My right boob produces more milk than my left boob, at one go (an hour or so) my right boob fills a bottle while my left boob produces half a bottle. Assa is officially off formula milk, she’s now only breast feeding, in the morning I pump so that when my mom takes her, she doesn’t wake me up for feeds, I’ll also pump during the day whenever my breasts feel full and painful.
Ashley has been the greatest help with Assa too, I can’t say that enough. He’s an amazing father and boyfriend, we are really lucky to have him, he’s been making this parenting thing easier for me, he allows me to rest while he looks after the baby that’s why today is a sad day for me because he is going back to his house. He has to go back to work. We also have to take Assa to her first doctor’s appointment
When we woke up in the morning Assa was still asleep. We lied in bed, cuddled up
Ashley: We really need to be getting ready
Me: I know but I’m enjoying this moment
He kissed me
Ashley: I’m enjoying it too but remember we have a doctor’s appointment
Me: I know, I’m really gonna miss you
Ashley: I’m gonna miss you and my princess too, but you know y’all could always come and sleep over right?
Me: I know
Ashley: When I get home I’ll start working on the nursery
Me: That would be great, but can’t you sleep over for 1 more week?
Ashley: I wish I could babe, but I’ve taken enough time off work
Me: This suck
Ashley: It really does
Me: Oh well, let’s get ready to listen to your daughter screaming when we give her a bath
Ashley: [Laughing] It’s funny how when she does something you don’t like she’s my daughter but when she’s being all adorable and shit she’s your daughter
Me: That’s because she inherited all your bad habits and traits and she inherited everything good from me
Ashley: [Laughing] Yeah right
Me: Well, let me go take a shower. I’ll pack her bag when I’m done
Ashley held me, preventing me from leaving
Me: We gonna be late
Ashley: I’m not letting you go until I get my kiss
I kissed him
Me: Happy?
Ashley: Well we could do a quickie
Me: [Laughing] Stay away from me Sir
I left the room rushing
Ashley: [Laughing] Come back here
After the shower I got dressed, Ashley took a shower while I started pumping and packing. Assa woke up but she wasn’t crying so I continued to pack after packing, Ashley was done with his shower, he was also dressed, now it was time for the difficult part, giving Assa a bath and surprisingly she didn’t cry
