Freya's POV After the move things settled down a bit, dad came last weekend with Jenna to set up a crib in the second bedroom with a changing table that was also a dresser.Once everything was all set up we went to explore a bit while finding a place to eat. It was great to have them here so soon after we had left, I didn't realize how much I would miss my dad so soon.They left the Sunday afternoon wishing Andrew luck on his first day of his new job. I had called a couple different doctors offices before finding one that I thought would be best for us, so I made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon, Andrew was a bit upset he wasn't going to be going with me but we knew he wouldn't be able to make many appointments because of his job.He already loved working with the curator, his first day went smoothly, so did his second. Now it is Wednesday and he left for work a couple hours ago, he goes in at 7am, my appointment is at one but I have to be there early to fill out paperwork.Ge
Freya's POV Starting school was intense, especially with being so pregnant. Classes are demanding but a lot of fun at the same time. My professors are really great, they don't treat me differently just because I'm pregnant yet they have also piled my work on double. I do twice as much as everyone else in my classes. Working on projects that they won't be working on for a while. The doubled me up so that when I need my six weeks off after the baby comes I won't be behind in my classes.I also already have the art project that will be for my mid semester final that I can work on from home implementing all the new ways to focus on our strokes.My photography course has been a ton of fun for me, I've made a couple friends on my classes too, they have actually taken some really great photos of me for a maternity type shots which Andrew absolutely loved. He can't wait for us to have some when I'm bigger.Andrew has been the most amazing, supportive partner I could ever ask for. He is lov
Freya's POV "They are going to be here any minute, just waiting for the turkey to finish everything else is done and ready to go."Andrew's came around the counter to me as I sat on a stool in the kitchen with everything finally done, I just finished up the mashed potatoes after taking out the green bean casserole from the air fryer, thank goodness that thing also bakes or I don't know how I would have done other things while that turkey was cooking."I'll get the turkey when it's ready, go sit on the couch, get your feet up okay."Nodding he held my arm to help me stand, my center of gravity was way off, I can't see my feet, well I haven't been able to for a while now, but she sits so low I feel so much pressure it's hard to walk. Thankfully we have no classes right now because of the holiday.I feel a sharp pain slide through me as I stand up making my hand go directly to the spot as Andrew grabs me, his hand going over mine."What's wrong!?""Just one of those pulls because I'm so
Andrew's POV I knew something was off with her when she was cooking, or how she would hold her belly, but honestly it was how low her belly was sitting that had me worried. When everyone came for Thanksgiving, she was so overjoyed from where she sat that my worry left a bit but I kept an eye on her the entire evening.She was walking into the kitchen where I got up to follow her when she hunched over, grabbing her stomach as her water broke, looking down at the floor I was in shock, we knew the baby could come at any time now.We had 2 weeks until she was officially 40 weeks but when she went to her appointment two days ago the doctor said the baby could come at any time so to watch out for the signs.I saw the signs all day but didn't want to ruin her surprise, it could also be false labor pains but now, looking at the floor I see the mix of clear liquid and other things when she stepped back to look down, her eyes widened as she looked up at me."Baby, my water broke."She sounded
Freya's POV I was waiting in my room at the hospital, looking down at my beautiful Torvi while I wanted for Andrew to come back from getting us some food while also saying goodbyes to our friends. Damon is going to actually stay with us soon, he's moving over this way with a transfer for school for the next semester that starts in January.He's put in for the apartment that will be opening up in February two doors down from us. I told Andrew to have him move in with us when Christmas break hits since I want to have Torvi in the cradle in our room for the first few months anyway.I'm finding it very hard to sleep without her being in eye shot, also ear shot, I worry she isn't breathing which is keeping me awake, so the thought of her in a different room is giving me anxiety.I get to go home with her tomorrow finally. We had to stay an extra day because I was having trouble with clotting yet now I seem to be doing just fine, especially with breast feeding.This girl literally eats ev
Freya's POV Continued When we arrived home our apartment was spotless. Between Jenna, my father and friends they managed to clean up everything from Thanksgiving along with cleaning up around the house, even our laundry was done.The nursery looked amazing but I had Andrew bring the cradle into the bedroom with us because I wanted her close by. She has been sleeping well lately, she eats every four hours now so I can get some much needed rest as well.It's been two weeks of Andrew working all day while the girl and I spend our days together.Damon gets here this weekend so I've managed to set up a bed in the nursery after moving the furniture around some so he has space for himself along with his item.I emptied the closet put, putting her things inside my room along with her changing table being in the living room for the time being.It's made life easier, plus I don't want to intrude on Damon every time I need to change her.Andrew left for work this morning around 7:30, I was up a
Freya's POV Continued My dad came up with Jenna the weekend before Christmas, considering Christmas is on a Wednesday this year it works out great for them to be here, even though they had to get a hotel this time.Damon has been amazing to have here, he helps me throughout the day, has done the grocery shopping so that I don't have to take the baby out. I hate taking her out with her being so small, she will be a month old on Christmas day so she shouldn't be going to stores yet in my opinion.Andrew took Damon the other day to go pick out a tree, I moved my easel along with my other things into my bedroom, shoving them into a corner for now since I finished my projects. I wanted to use that area for the tree, for us to have space to spend Christmas morning together as a family.The tree looks beautiful, warm lights around it with handmade Christmas ornaments along with a plaster handprint cast of Torvi's, then a first ornament I made for her along with one Damon made for her. Andr
Freya's POV Continued After Christmas we had New Year's, it was nice, but they had our friends come up so Addy was here, so we're the twins as well as Lucas, even Liv managed to come up.At any other time I would love to have everyone here but all I want to do is rest, I haven't been able to nap with Torvi, always surrounded by others when I just want us to be here, alone, without the noise or people waking her, or, I don't know, acting like we are 17 or 18 years old.How can I ask such a thing of Andrew though, he wants to see his friends, they all want to see us but honestly I just want everyone to go home.Taking a deep breath I laid down on my bed next to Torvi as I nursed her. Looking down at her I brush the tiny hairs that are in her face back so I can see all of her, her tiny eyes closed as she nurses, picking her hand up she grips onto my finger tightly.I sighed as I laid my head down while gently stroking her hair until she released me signifying that she was done as well a
