I woke up a little after 4am because the baby was looking for me. I grabbed a Monster Milk out of the fridge, opened it and set it on the table next to the chair. I got the baby and sat in the chair to breast feed him. I looked at him and was thinking he is so adorable and growing so fast. After I got him situated I grabbed the Muscle Milk and took a swig. I clenched my teeth because my stomach said not now. It calmed down after a couple of minutes and I was able to finish the bottle. After I burped him and changed his diaper I put him back in his bed on his stomach. He seemed to be happy and decided to go back to sleep. Sleep and eat. That’s my boy. I slipped quietly back into bed and I also went back to sleep.
I woke up to Hunter laughing up at storm. She was on her daddy’s back on the floor and he was doing his push-ups. I couldn’t help but smile. Her laughter was so great. I slipped out of bed around them and went to the bathroom. I came back and sat on the bed. Matthew was doing his sit-ups and Hunter was standing on his feet. She was having the time of her life with her daddy. After he finished he got up and handed her to me. He said, she’s ready to get ready now and he went to the bathroom. I changed her diaper like always and found a summer dress and put it on her. I set her on the floor next to her toys and started getting myself ready myself. This was going to be another great day and tomorrow was the wedding. After I was ready I grabbed my pillow off the bed and put in that blasted chair. It was killing my butt so maybe the pillow would help. Matthew put the kids in the double stroller and we were out the door. It was a beautiful day out. When we got to the table I rolled up to my spot. Matthew handed me Hunter and reached for the baby. As he was taking the baby out Matthew was looking at him because he was making this strange face. Matthew almost had him in his arms when he stopped and said, Oh sit. I looked at Matthew trying to hold him at arms length and was also making a terrible face and going oh shit. His Mom looked at him and said, what’s the problem. He said, this guy just did a big smelly dump in his diaper. I thought his Mom was going to laugh. Matthew was trying not to breathe and going ah. His Mom got up and said, they do that. She took the baby and said I will take care of him. She took the baby away from the table to a comforter on the ground so no one could see. Matthew turned to me and said, what are you feeding that kid. I replied, the same as all ways. Matthew sat at the table and took Hunter. He said to her, you don’t do that do you? She didn’t know what he was talking about, picked up a spoon and pounded it on the table. Matthew took it away and said we are going to eat soon. There was some fruit on the table and Matthew picked out some melon for her to keep her happy.
Matthew’s phone rang after breakfast. It was Carlson. Carlson wanted to know what to feed some guy? Matthew said, tell the doctor I want you to feed him low protein so he has low muscle mass. Tell her to make him look like librarian. Weak and pale but healthy. Also you can give him some books to read but screen them. No violence and no exercising except walking. Carlson said, no problem. A little later Carson called back about 3 guys. Matthew said, I have to go see Carlson about business. Matthew was gone for over an hour. When he got back he took the kids in the pool and was loving every minute of his time with them. The chair was driving me crazy so I got up and fluffed it putting it back in the chair. It was driving me crazy sitting in the chair. I sat down and there was Scott sitting across the table from me almost laughing. I sat down and said, what are you laughing about? He replied, you. You seem to be having trouble sitting in the chair. I snapped back, your darn right. It’s killing my butt. He said, that means you are much better. I said, really. That’s great. He said, ya. Your body is saying its ready to move. He was looking intensely at Matthew in the pool. Then turned to me and said, he’s not the same person as he was before you came here. He has turned into a human being. Before you, he didn’t talk to people only stared and listened. If you needed a job done he would go do it and come back with no emotion. The kitchen was afraid to cook him meals because if he didn’t like them or he was mad about something he would just throw them again the wall. Even his own mother stayed away from him. I can’t believe how he has changed. He is happy for once in his life. I said, I am glad he is happy. I love him very much and think he deserves to be happy. He agreed and said, yes he does. Then he gave me this look and said, don’t ever hurt him or I will make you pay for it. I didn’t say anything. All I could do was think where did that come from?
In the afternoon Matthew and Jean went to the gym for a work out. At the end of the day we all went home tired and happy. I came out of the bathroom with the kids asleep and Matthew in bed. I slipped into bed and Matthew wanted me on his shoulder so he could put his arm around me. I looked up at him and said, are you happy. He said, Oh my god. I am so happy. I don’t think my life could be any better. Why do you ask? I said, well, I love you very much and I want you to be happy. If something ever bothers you or starts making you unhappy will you let me know. He pulled me closer and said, sure but I don’t think that is going to happen. Now go to sleep we have a big day tomorrow. I smiled, shut my eyes and light were out.
