Today, Chase and I took our first field trip out of the house by ourselves. And boy, was I excited. It was pretty much the first time I was behind the wheel in three weeks! I had a short list of errands we needed to run. After packing the diaper bag, loading the stroller, and getting him ready, I quickly remembered how much work it was to get out of the house with a newborn. :) But off we went! We stopped at Stride Rite, Express, Babies R' Us, Blockbuster, and then finally Target. Conveniently, it was time for him to eat when we were at Babies R' Us, so we made ourselves comfy on one of their display gliders for 15 minutes and it worked out perfectly. After all, I did spend a nice amount while there, so it's the least they could do. :) He behaved quite well all day while we were out and slept the majority of the time. It's hard to believe that today was the day we had originally scheduled our c-section for today, and he's actually already been with us for 2 1/2 weeks. Time has already been going by so fast!
We've got lunch with Daddy tomorrow and then lunch with some of Mommy's work friends later this week. While I'm excited to get out of the house, I'm trying to be cognizant of the fact the RSV and the flu seem to going around with several people we know. I don't want my little peanut getting sick on me already.
And I'm happy to report that Austin's seems to have made a full recovery from his ear infection and cold. As part of the recovery process, he has become slightly addicted the grape-scented Boogie Wipes. :)
