"Good morning," Joe hummed quietly, "We leave for L.A. tomorrow."
"I'm so excited!" I said excitedly, "I can't believe it."
"This past month has been crazy busy, it'll be good to take a break," Joe nodded.
It's true, since the ultrasound appointment, life has been crazy busy. Joe's always had meetings and had to go to film videos with sponsors or whatever. I've been watching the kids and holding down the fort. However two weeks ago, both Noah and Noelle were sick and that wasn't necessarily fun to deal with, but now they're all better and healthy. Then it doesn't help that I'm just getting the symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness and always being tired, which doesn't mix well with taking care of sick babies already.
"F.uck," I muttered, lunging out of bed and going to the bathroom to throw up.
Joe followed, holding my hair back while I threw up into the toilet before gargling mouth wash and brushing my teeth.
"You'll be okay," Joe hummed, gently rubbing my back.
This holiday to Los Angeles is deperately needed to say the least.
Today the plan is to spend the day packing and getting ready for L.A., doing any last minute errands and just being ready to go.
"I think I'm going to get in the shower," I hummed, starting the shower.
Joe nodded as he brushed his teeth and then left the bathroom.
Another way to express how busy and exhausted Joe and I have been recently is, although we're allowed to have sex since the first ultrasound, we literally haven't touched each other intimately, other than small kisses, in over a month now. I don't think that has happened since when I was pregnant with Noah in the final trimester.
"You alright Minxie?" Joe asked.
I didn't realise how long I had been in the shower already, just thinking and becoming more excited for Los Angeles tomorrow.
"Yeah, sorry I'm getting out now," I said.
"Don't worry. I was just making sure you're okay."
I got out of the shower and dried myself before getting dressed into some yoga leggings and then one of Joe's shirts.
"Mummy!" Noelle giggled, running towards me as I came from Joe's and I's room.
"Good morning darling," I hummed, picking her up.
"Are you alright?" Joe hummed, tracing his hands around my waist and kissing the back of my neck.
"Yeah, just got lost in my thoughts," I nodded, giving him a small kiss.
"We'd better start packing today, hm?" Joe hummed.
"Yeah, we're going to have to," I smiled.
Noah was fussing in his highchair, wanting more attention as he ate his breakfast.
"Oh shush, you," I giggled, putting Noelle down and playfully poking Noah's nose.
"Mama!"
"Oh, you're so cute," I smiled, pinching his cheeks playfully.
After the kids were finished eating their breakfast, Joe and I decided to leave them in their pyjamas today and let them play while we packed. We're going to L.A. for a week and my mum and James have rented Joe and I, and the kids, a cute condo near the ocean.
"Hello!" I smiled as my mum called and I answered the phone.
"Hello darling. I'm so excited to go to L.A. with you tomorrow!" She gushed, "James and I finished packing last night."
