Demi
I’m nursing. We don’t need baby Hayes to be on the bubbly. He’s already the gassiest baby on the planet.
I haven’t gotten my daily photo of baby Hayes today.Please send one soon. Those photos get me through most days.

Peyton
That kid is such a porker.
Emerson
He’s a healthy, happy baby.
Saylor
I just want to squeeze those chunky little thighs.
Ruby
And he always smells like baby powder and sunshine.
He’s perfect. I love you guys.
Ruby
Love you. Mimosas the minute you’re home.
There were no mimosas in my future. But I couldn’t say that yet. I couldn’t tell a soul the news that I was pregnant until I told my husband.
And this secret was killing me.

King
How’s the head, Hayes? I can’t believe you refused to stay with us while you recover. Your sister is worried about you. Have you always been such a stubborn ass?
River
Is that a trick question? The dude is the most stubborn guy I know. This is no surprise.
Nash
I’ve been by his house a few times, and he’s brooding. He literally didn’t say more than two words when I wasthere.
Romeo
I think Savvy’s made him soft. He can’t handle her being gone.
I can’t handle her being gone? This is not about her being gone. I’m fine with her being there with her father. This is different. She asked for time. Tell me any situation where someone asking for time ended well.
