Brian has just arrived and is fussing over Owen, he's brought him lots of
lovely things. Cute cuddly toys, moving picture lights and mobiles for his
cot and clothes. Brian really has been generous. Brian has become one of
mine and Claire's best mates and we wouldn't chance him for the world, he
really is a lovely bloke and a brilliant friend. I'm glad he's came round
tonight because we haven't had a good laugh with him for ages. Claire's got
her heart set on Brian being little Owen's Godfather and I want that too
but will Brian? I think he will because I've seen the way he looks at Owen
and the way he talks to him, its just so sweet. I wish some other people
were here with us now, I always thought this would be a thing we'd all
share together but I couldn't have been more wrong!
Brian: He really is perfect isn't he?
He sure is!
Claire: Brian would you like to be Owen's Godfather?
Brian has started crying and Owen who is in Brian's arms seems to be rather confused. I think he's just happy that we asked him to be the Godfather but that's not all we've got to ask him. He calmed down a bit he said he'd love to be and then we dropped another bomb shell on him. We asked him to be best man at our wedding, I did think about asking one of my brothers but if I asked one the other would be upset so its just better this way. Anyway I know Brian's a true friend and won't embarrass us too much in his speech on the big day. Brian looks at me and says "Oh I'm not sure Ian I'll have to think about it." I can't help but feel disappointed by what Brian has said. " Ha ha got ya." Then I realise he was just joking and I bloody feel for it, Claire and Brian think its really funny but I don't. He really scared me I thought that maybe we weren't that good friends, ok ok I know I'm being stupid.
Brian: Sorry if I upset you.
No its ok you didn't upset me, just shocked me.
Brian: Sorry.
We've had a great night tonight we watched Tv ordered a pizza had a few drinks, well Claire was just on water. Brian's just gone and now I'm going to have a bath and take Owen in with me. He doesn't like being in the little baby bath and he closes his eyes and grips tightly to your finger, its quite sweet actually but you also feel bad because he doesn't like it. The midwife has said that babies somtimes like to be in a bigger bath with their parents so that's what Claire tried when we were still at the hospital and he absolutely loved it. So now its my turn to bath him and get him ready for bed.
I can't stop looking at his little smiling face, the doctors told us its just wind but I don't think so. His eyes are so big and blue and shimmer in the light, looking at him tonight has made me realise he most definately has a cute nose like Claire's! Wonder if he'll be a singer and screw up his nose like his mum does, aww I think its cute. As I'm running the bath Owen gets fed up and starts to cry, well you can't really call it crying. I notice that he's doing the nose thing awww how cute. I don't know whether he'll like getting in here with me but here goes, slowly I get into the bath and place Owen on my chest so that most of his chest and all of his head aren't in the water. Claire walks in and puts her hand into the water. Suddenly she grabs Owen off of my chest and gives him a cuddle.
Claire: Did you even check this water before you got in?
What do you mean.............
Claire: The temperature of it!
Yeah its fine.
Claire: For you maybe but not for Owen.
He was fine, he would of cried if it was hurting him.
Claire: He's baking hot! I can't leave you to do anything on your own can I!
Claire wraps Owen up in a towel and takes him out of the room. I feel so bad I really thought the water would be ok for him, he wasn't crying or anything and he seemed happy! I always have to mess up with something though, I can't ever seem to do anything right anymore. I can't talk to my parents without upsetting them I can't even bath my own son properly. I get out of the bath but leave the water in as I know full well Claire will give Owen a bath instead, I then start walking upstairs and go and lie down on my bed. I can't help the tears flowing down my cheeks.
A while later I walk into the bathroom to find Claire lying in the bath with Owen on her chest. Owen looks at me and seems to smile, he starts to move around a lot and splash a bit of water. With one quick move of his left arm water comes flying out of the bath and all over me.
Claire: Hey you getting daddy all wet.
Claire I'm so............
Claire: No I'm sorry I just over reacted, I didn't mean to upset you or talk to you like I did. I was just worried.
It's ok I understand.
Claire: You never really got the bath you wanted so get in.
I get in the bath with Claire and Owen. I rest my chin on Claire's shoulder so I get a good view of our son and I gently touch the top of his head. Owen looks up at me and Claire and shows us a cute little smile. Both me and Claire speak at the same time "Awwwww" I close my eyes for a short while and think about my parents coming round the next day. They're all going to love Owen but then again who wouldn't!
Brian: He really is perfect isn't he?
He sure is!
