Dawsey: Raising a Family Part 1

Matt & Gabby's Hospital Stay: June 24th-30th

Gabby's Diary
T-1 week until we move out of the hospital. God, I am so glad that I can say that because I am getting tired of his place. I am ready to just get home, get in bed and snuggle with my man. But something I am even more happy about is that I have already lost a bunch of weight. Apparently, I have been moving a lot here and it took off at least 5 lbs of baby fat so far. (Only after 60 to go) But, I am not worried about that because Louie is going to be helping me with that. Speaking of which, we decided to keep him at Antonio's during the baby's first week home.

Me and Matt were going to need the place to ourselves. Between the twins and me recovering, I am going to need time without him. But still, we are going to talk a lot and I am just glad that we are going home next week. It is going to be nice to be back in our bed with Matt off all summer to help take care of me and the kids. God, still seeing him hold little Hannah is just adorable. He sent me a picture of the nursery (He moved us in last week with Antonio and Severide's help) and we were just going to love it. Also, he already got the van ready with car seats.

Oh and apparently, while Matt was home last week...he found out that there was another young couple who moved into our neighborhood. And funny enough, it was our friends Jay and Erin. They are now our neighbors. God, that is going to be weird seeing them on a daily basis. But still, it meant we had friends we could see in each other's homes (safe). I was just ready to get home. God, this was going to be fun. By the way, I forgot to mention that. I am not talking about the last home we are talking about (the apartment)...I am talking about our first home as a couple.

Matt's Journal
God, I am ready to take this family of mine home. We are going home in a week and I can't wait. I also can't wait to show Gabby what I did to the house. Sure, it was the same house we once lived in and she knew the layout but...I might have done a few things to make it feel special to her. She deserved it after all the hard work she did to give birth to our twins. And honestly, I am glad we are done having kids. Not sure if I can go through this all over again. Louie already loves his room and can't wait for us to be home with him. Sorry this is short, I have a baby to feed.
