Chapter 7-8

 Today I was on baby duty while Belle was spending extra time at work doing a special project. With the twins being toddlers now, it's hard to keep up with all their energy.

  On top of watching them, and making them food, I had to do some cleaning around the house, which meant bringing them with me to make sure they stay out of trouble. Celadon, Belle's mini me, is very vocal, and tends to be more defiant than Cerulean, who is more reserved and hasn't quite gotten the hold of forming sentences yet.

Cyan: Alright, boys, daddy's all done. How 'bout we take a little nap, huh?

Celadon: No, daddy, no nap. Play!

Cyan: Not now, Cela. We'll play afterwards, okay?

Celadon: Okay!

 

I was thankful that Celadon was being more agreeable tonight than usual. I was beat, and couldn't go much longer without a little rest. I take them to Belle and I's room, and we pass out on the bed.

Belle comes home about an hour later. The boys woke up when she opened the door and entered the room. Smiling she greets them.

Belle: Hey boys, how about waking daddy up for me?

Celadon: Ya!

The two of them jump on me, little fingers poking me. I roll over, trying to milk any second of rest I could get.

Celadon: Daddy, wake up!

Cerulean: Up! Up!

Cyan: Alright, I'm up, I'm up.

 

Celadon giggles, pleased with himself.  Then the two of them run out of the room, excitedly.

Celadon: Play, Daddy, Mommy, play!

Cerulean: Play! Play!

Belle: We'll be there in a minute boys. Mommy wants to talk to Daddy real quick.

Celadon: K!

 Belle: So, sleepyhead, how was your day?

Cyan: It was good, but they're extra energetic today. It was hard to get things done. They wore me out.

Belle: Welcome to my world. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something, babe.

Cyan: What?

Belle: Well...I don't know about you, but I've been having baby fever lately. So...do you want to try for another?

Cyan: I'm down. The more the merrier, right?

Belle: *laughs* Yeah. Maybe after the kids go to bed we can...

Cyan: It's a date. *winks*

We take the kids to have some playtime before bed to let them wear themselves out, and finally put them down for the night. 

 

 Belle and I took the opportunity to have a little alone time, and tried for baby number three.

A couple months later, it was confirmed. We were expecting again.

Belle: Guess what, babe?

Cyan: *smiling* What?

Belle: We're having another baby!

Cyan: Yes! I knew it! I could tell by the look on your face. Love you, honey.

 

Now that our family is growing, we know things are going to get more hectic, having three young children. And we're ready for it.

Bring it on.
