41. Katerina
With so much happening around us these past few months, Alex and I had decided to push the wedding back to May 4th, which was only a few weeks away. It was still surreal that in less than a month, I'll be calling Alex my husband instead of fiancé. Just thinking of that had my heart fluttering in my chest as butterflies swarmed my stomach. My parents, along with Alex's parents, have gotten incredibly close, and it's safe to say that they are best friends. It was nice seeing them all together and interacting with each other as if they've known each other for years and not just a few months. Alex and his parents have also become incredibly close with the three, and occasionally all six—Ella, John, and Vanessa—would go and have lunch or dinner and just catch up.
Today, Valentina, Ella, Nessa, and Hayden were accompanying me to go dress shopping since I had decided to change my first dress. I sighed as I finished putting Savannah's change of clothes into her diaper bag, along with extra diapers and food in case she got hungry.
"Alright, baby girl, are you ready to spend the next few hours with your grandmas, aunts, and uncle?" I asked, picking the nine-month-old up, who had been laying on my bed with a toy. She gave a toothy grin. Her first had come in just after New Year, and she was not a happy camper the first few weeks, as she was always fussy. One night, she'd woken up with a fever, which had scared the daylights out of me, as she's never had a fever like that before. So Alex and I took her to the ER, and we didn't come home until 6 in the morning. By then, she was exhausted, but her fever was down. Apparently, it was normal for infants around her age to have fevers when their first teeth come in, and at the first sign of a fever, the doctor said to give her baby Tylenol, as that would help reduce the fever and help her cope with the pain in her gums.
I smiled and kissed her soft hair before picking up her diaper bag and walking out of mine and Alex's room, almost jumping out of my skin when I saw Hayden standing on the other side with his hand up, ready to knock on the door.
"Jesus," I muttered.
"No, just Hayden," he replied with a cheeky grin, making me roll my eyes and shake my head.
"Is there a reason why you're standing in front of my door?" I asked, closing the door behind me. He grabbed the diaper bag from me, making me give him a grateful smile as we made our way down the hall toward the stairs, before going down and into the kitchen to grab the rest of Savannah's things, which consisted of her food and a few of her toys to keep her occupied while we were at the store.
"I was going to see if you were ready or if you needed help," he answered, and I nodded as I watched him grab the baby food, fruit, and snacks from the fridge and cabinet and put them in the diaper bag after making sure they were secure and that the seal wasn't broken.
"Did Mom call?"
