Chapter 503: Body change
Days passed peacefully, adjusting to the life of another addition to the family. Heaven was discharged with her baby just a day after her delivery. From then on, she only focused on her baby and Sebastian.
Having a newborn in the family was equally rewarding and exhausting. Since Heaven and Dominic wanted to be hands-on parents, they insisted on taking care of their children on their own. They were still getting help from the workers in their home, especially from Miriam. But most of the time, it was Heaven and Dominic.
It only took two nights for the two to realize sleep was something they couldn’t freely do anymore. They had to wake up if the baby woke up to feed. It didn’t matter what time it was. Thus, two days later, both Dominic and Heaven were a little haggard for two consecutive nights of almost sleepless nights.
On the third night, Miriam offered help so the couple could rest and have the energy to take care of their children. At this point, Heaven was already stashing breast milk, as she was blessed with plenty of it.

A thin layer of tears coated her eyes, as she didn’t feel as pretty and sexy as she felt before. There were stretch marks on her belly, inner thigh, and hips. The excess skin on her belly was also unpleasant to look at.
