Lila: doodling furiously How the hell am I gonna travel with a baby? Ideas, got any?
I can do some light housekeeping and shenanigans on my own. I'm just not sure how that's going to work with a newborn. But there are lots of ways to entertain a baby. So that's kinda reassuring.
raises an eyebrow Light housekeeping, huh? That's one way to put it. So, what's your plan? Are you gonna be a full-time parent or will you hire a nanny?
I'm going to try to do it on my own for a while first. Then we'll see how it goes. If I need help, I'll ask for it. But if I can manage it on my own, then that's ideal. I want to have as much time with this little one as possible.
Well, you know what they say, "Nothing worth having comes easy." So if you want to be a badass single parent, you better be ready to face some challenges!
That's what I'm talking about.
leans in closer, with a mischievous glint in her eyes So, let's talk about your baby daddy. Any leads on him yet? Or is this gonna be a secret baby?
Let's just say he's a very important person in my life, but getting into his background or finding him is not going to be a priority for me. I don't really know who he is, and I'm not really interested in finding out.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like we got ourselves a mystery man here!
He's not really a mystery. It was just a one night stand.
grins A one-night stand that resulted in a baby? Now that's what I call a wake-up call! Did you use protection?
No, I wasn't thinking about that. I didn't know I was gonna get pregnant. I thought I was barren. Plus, he said he was sterile. I don't know what happened.
snorts Sterile my ass! Guess you proved them wrong, didn't ya? So, what's your next move? You gonna try to find this mystery man and make him own up to his responsibilities, or are you gonna go it alone?
Like I said, I'm not interested in finding him. And I'm definitely not going to ask him to own up to anything. I'm going to be a single mom.
nods approvingly Single mom, huh? Well, you've got my support, chica. You know I've always got your back, no matter what.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I didn't know if I could handle this alone. But I am strong. And I can do it.
grabs ChampagneElation's hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze Damn right you can! You're one of the strongest people I know, Cam.
Thank you. I just want to do what's best for my child. And to do that, I need to be strong and able to take care of myself.
takes a deep breath, looking determined Alright, Cam, here's what we're gonna do. First things first, we need to figure out how to manage your daily life with a baby.
Okay. I think I can figure that out. Do I need to buy a lot of baby stuff? Carseats, strollers... that kind of thing?
grins mischievously Oh, you're gonna need a whole lot more than that, babe! But don't worry, I've got your back.
That's good to hear. I don't know the first thing about raising a baby. I've never even held a newborn before. This is going to be a learning curve for sure.
laughs A learning curve? You bet your ass it is! But hey, who better to learn from than yours truly, the ultimate baby expert?
Yeah, you're right. There's nobody else I'd rather have guiding me through this process than you.
stands up, grinning Alright, Cam! First things first, we gotta set up your nursery.
My nursery... It's not a necessity, I mean the baby can sleep with me. But if I'm going to do this, I might as well do it right.
claps her hands excitedly Hell yeah, do it right! This ain't the time to be holding back, Cam!
Yeah, you're right. Let's do this.
grabs her phone and starts searching for nursery ideas Alright, Cam, let's start by brainstorming some nursery themes.
Yeah, I've been thinking about themes. Maybe something nature inspired? I'm not sure. I don't want it to be too girly or boyish. I want it to be neutral, so I can add decorations that fit whatever mood I'm going for.
excitedly taps away on her phone Nature-inspired, huh? I got just the thing! How about a woodland creatures theme?
Hmm...that's not a bad idea. I could do a lot with that. Animals, trees, birds...
starts rummaging through her bag and pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start jotting down some specific ideas.
Trees, maybe a forest canopy as a mobile... animals...uh, I'm not sure. Birds are a good idea. And insects. Stick bugs, butterflies... I could totally do a nursery with a butterfly theme.
scribbles furiously in her notebook Ooh, a butterfly theme sounds perfect! We can incorporate so many cute elements - butterfly wall art, stuffed animals, even a mobile with fluttering butterflies!
That's what I'm talking about. A mobile with butterflies... that's such a good idea.
smirks Of course, it is! I told you I'm the ultimate baby expert, didn't I? Now, let's get shopping for some adorable butterfly-themed nursery decor!
Yeah, I'm ready to get started. Let's go find some stuff!
jumps up from her chair, excitement radiating off her Hell yeah, let's go! I know just the place with the cutest butterfly decor.
Sounds good. Lead the way!
grabs her car keys and rushes towards the door Come on, Cam! We don't wanna waste any time.
Yeah, let's get moving. I can't wait to see what we find!
grabs ChampagneElication's hand and pulls her towards the car Alright, let's get this show on the road, chica!
Alright, let's go find some butterfly decorations!
jumps into the driver's seat and revs the engine Buckle up, Cam! We're about to embark on the most epic nursery decoration shopping spree ever!
