What would you do for a last minute Christmas would you have fun or would you just get what you need to make it a fun Christmas?
Since my cousin left me with her daughter have I had a tough time my twins were born Kitty Kat got kid napped by Christine's father. Now that she's now my responsibility Meredith and I are going to figure out how to spend equal amount of time with six kids in the house instead of our five we were planning for. I love my children and I can't wait till little Bailey can meet his little brother Luke, and baby sister Leia. I know that he was excited when Ellis was first born so he might be excited to have a baby brother and another baby sister. Today Meredith and I get to take the twins home as we have been in the hospital for about 4 days because of Leia's difficult birth.
When we got home we were greeted by the children and Maggie. Christine had her puppy playing with her, Zola was playing horses with Bailey, and Ellis was starving for my attention. Ellis loves daddy time but now that we have Leia she might be in competition with her for daddy time. When Ellis was born it didn't bother her because she had plenty of daddy time before Bailey was born. "Daddy can I see my baby brother" asked Zola. "Yes sweet Zola now remember he's small like Ellis was not to long ago." I told. "I'll be okay daddy." She responded to me. "Daddy I took doodle in the big potty." Bailey started yelling. "That's good Bailey but remember your baby brother and sister are sleeping." I told him. Bailey whispered after that so that his siblings could sleep.
When Meredith and I went to bed for the night I woke up to not the twins crying but Ellis. "Ellie what's wrong" I said. As I picked her she stopped crying and fell back asleep but when I put her back in her crib she started crying again. I brought her into the bedroom with Meredith and I. Meredith asked why she was sleeping in between us and I told her that was the only was we could keep her from waking up the twins. When it was breakfast time Ellis started in again with crying. I held her and she stopped. I'm not sure what is wrong with this child because Zola, and Bailey never had jealousy when Ellis was born and now Ellis is jealous of Luke and Leia. She wasn't like that when Christine started living with us. This started when Luke and Leia came home from the hospital.
Tomorrow is Christmas and I'm not really looking forward for tonight as Meredith and I have to go shopping to finish getting everything together as we have been side tracked with the birth of the twins a 5 days ago and the legal issues of Christine Barton Shepherd. I know that having an artificial tree it's easier especially with infants, and a toddler who plays rough although she is having some issues towards her newborn siblings. I think I was like this when my sister Amelia was born because I wanted mom time and Amelia took both my mom, and dad's attention away from me when I was supposed to be the baby. When my father died I took his place and grew to love my baby sister as I was her protector. "Derek I called Owen and he is going to watch the kids while we go shopping because Amelia is going to be getting the items she needs for the girls for Christmas plus our children." Meredith said to me. Since Amelia has the girls she's been busy as well but she is going to take the twins to the store but their infants and won't really be awake.
When we got home we placed all the presents for all the kids. After we got that done Meredith and I went to sleep until Luke, Leia, and Ellis started to cry because they were either hungry, wet, or wanted attention. When we got back to get bed Ellis started to cry again so Meredith brought her in the room so she wouldn't wake up the other children. Ellis slept in the play pen and was quiet because she had both Meredith and I. It was 9:00 when Zola, and Bailey woke up saying its Christmas. I grabbed Ellis, while Meredith got Christine out of her crib, and let her crawl while she got Luke and Leia changed and feed and dressed put into their car seats. I brought Ellis down and the kids started to find presents with their names on it. Zola opened a box that had a doll that she named Vanessa. Bailey opened up a truck and wanted to play with rather than opening up anymore. Christine opened up her stuffed puppy and called it nanna. Ellis opened her toys and didn't care about daddy attention anymore and was our happy girl as Meredith got her a doll that looked like Luke and another doll that looked like Leia.
