Erin's POV: it's been a couple weeks since I gave birth to Camryn and we are slowly getting used to being pants . Camryn still only sleeps a couple hours at a time hopefully soon she sleeps longer stretches because we both need some more sleep especially Since jay will have to go back to work soon or later, but thank God for coffee it works great to wake us both up when we are sleepy . Right now jay and Camryn are still sleeping since she only wanted her daddy last night. I am up just making me some food once I am done making some food I all of sudden feel hands wrap around my waist

J= what are you doing up already
E= oh I just wanted to get out besides I was a little hungry
J= I can see that what did you make yourself for breakfast
E= I just made some scrambled eggs
J= that's sounds good maybe you can share
E= I don't know if I want to share you might have to make your own
J= I guess so but I'm not hungry quite yet
E= all right so why are you up Camryn isn't awake up yet right
J= no she's not
E= that's good
J= I'm up because the bed all of sudden felt cold and empty
E= oh well I'm sorry I was hungry
J= it's okay so since she is still sleeping what do you want to do
E= well first I want to eat my breakfast
J= oh yeah do that
E= and then maybe just watch some TV and hope I don't fall asleep
J= that's a good plan maybe she will stay asleep longer to let you do what you want
E= here is to hoping
J= so what show do you want to watch
E= how about an episode of S.W.A.T
J= all right let's do it ( the sit down and watch it)
E= my favorite guy on this show is Hondo he is supper sexy
J= hey your husband is sitting right here
E= I know and you are sexy believe me but I have a crush on him
J= all right I believe you

We watch an episode as soon as we get ready to watch another episode the princess wakes up

E= I will be right back the princess is awake now ( 5 minutes later) hey look who it is daddy
J= hey there princess sleep well
E= I think she did her what her hair looked like when I got her up prove she sleep well suck bedhead
J= I bet it was did it seem like she sleeps a lot longer this time
E= oh yeah I think she slept an extra hour
J= maybe she is finally growing enough where she can sleep longer
E= let's hope so
J= can you believe it's almost thanksgiving
E= I know it seems this year has gone by fast because last time o checked it was august
J= well you know what they say
E= I don't know what do they say
J= they say time fly when your having fun and we sure were having a lot of fun
E= oh yeah so much funny like getting ready for our princess to come Into the world
J= what we did have some fun during that time
E= yeah maybe your right
J= did you hear that Camryn mommy said daddy was right for once
E= baby girl don't listen to daddy mommy is the only one who is in charge in this house girls rule
J= we will see in a few months
E= we will so anyways hank invited us over to his house again this year for thanksgiving
J= all right that's good
E= oh yeah this year I think we would have been a little busy to either host or cool thanksgiving
J= for sure I don't think we would even do anything for thanksgiving
E= oh yea I agree with that
J= so is it just being us and Hank for thanksgiving this year
E= no I think he is inviting the whole unit and he might invite your brother and Natalie is that a problem
J= not at all I like hank
E= that's good since he kind is your father in law now
J= I know so do we have to make anything for thanksgiving again
E= I don't think so I will text hank later on to see if we have to
J= all right that's good
E= so who do you think the princess will give her first smile to
J= I have no doubt that she will give it to me
E= whatever you say I bet she will give her first smile to one of her uncles or even hank
J= I hope not
E= we will see

We spend the rest of the day just Relaxing and trying to get more sleep. The next day we went to the store to grab some things for the house and also stuff to make a few things for thanksgiving

Jay's POV: it's been a couple weeks since Camryn has been born and it's kind of been hard because Camryn doesn't sleep much during the night. But I wouldn't want to do with anybody else besides Erin, we work as a team like how we do it work: today is thanksgiving and we plan on going to Hanks house. Right now both girls are taking a little nap before We go as they are taking naps I am making a green bean casserole about 30 minutes later the food is done so I clean up my mess and having to the bedroom to start getting ready when I noticed Erin is waking up

J= hey Beautiful
E= hey you what time is it
J= it's almost noon
E= wow it's almost time to leave For Hank's house
J= oh yeah I'm going to get ready so if you want you can get dress while the princess is still sleeping if you want
E= I could do that but did you get the food done
J= yes I did it's ready to go once we are

We eat our food, lucky for us we were able to eat our whole meal before Camryn demands to have some food too. Kevin offered to feed her so that's good. Once everyone was done eating we all gather into the living room to watch some football. Right now Kim is hold Camryn which is good gives me and Erin a break form holding.

We end up watching the whole game. Erin ends up falling asleep on me but by the end of the game she woke you and we decide to head home after the game. We say our goodbyes to everyone. Once we get home erin decide to go take a bath and have Camryn join her. While they are having a bath I grab Camryn pj to wear also grab Erin something too which happens to be one of my shirt and a pair of shorts. About 10 minutes later thru both come out of the bath
