Jessica didn't sleep that entire night. Julia kept her up, nursing every hour and a half to two hours.
There were many many diapers changes, and of course tons of kisses and cuddles.
"Is your tummy empty again, sunshine?" Jessica asked as she picked up the whining baby.
Jessica then began feeding her.
"There you go, beautiful.. all better, huh?"
Jessica sighs and turns to the clock.
"4:20.. that's mommy's birthday." She chuckles softly.
"I wonder where your daddy is, little one..
He'll be back, I know he will. He's just.. I don't know, maybe he's sleep deprived.
.. Then again, so am I! I mean, I had a baby!" She chuckles.
"And I'm not being mean, am I, precious? No I'm not!" Jessica says in a cute voice as she moves closer to the baby.
She then sighs and lightly pats her bottom.
"Mommy won't cry. I promise!" She giggles and tries her best not to show her tears.
Jessica sniffles and kisses Julia's soft cheek.

7:00 am.
"Good morning, sunshine! Well, we survived our first night home! High five!" Jessica chuckles.
She then goes on to change her diaper then to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Julia wasn't wanting to be put down so Jessica held her as she made breakfast.
A few minutes pass and Autumn came downstairs on the phone.
"Auttie, Who are you talking to?" Jessica asks.
"My daddy! I wanted to say good morning!"
"Well aren't you sweet." Jessica chuckles.
"Yep!
Daddy, mommy is cooking AND holding Juju!
Isn't she good?"
"She is! Hey, why is your momma cooking? She should be resting."
"I don't know." Autumn shrugs.
"Mommy, where's Danny?" She asks.
"Uhm, he uh.. he went to work!"
"Danny's at work, daddy. That's why Mommy's cooking."
"Oh.. Auttie, can I talk to momma, please?"
"Sure! Mommy, he wants to talk to you!" Autumn hands her the phone.
Jessica turns down the fire and grabs the phone.
"Hello, Sam!"
"Hey, what are you doing up? I thought Danny was taking off."
"Uh yeah, he is! But he needed to go in for something. He'll be home soon."
"Well let me go help you. You're gonna make yourself sick doing so much."
"Sam, I'm fine. I promise."
Sam sighs. "I just feel terrible. You just had a baby!"
"I know but I'm okay." Jessica giggles.
"Okay.. well call me if you need anything, okay?"
"I will. Thanks for caring, Sam." Jessica smiles softly.
"Of course! Take care, Jessie."
"You too.. Bye, Sam.."
