First Adventures

Crying at Mascara Park- First Outing, originally uploaded by Shannon Marye.

I really feel like I am learning how to do everything again. Including going for a walk and taking a trip to the store. We needed to get some things at Walmart today so Bryce decided we should take a walk first so Link's first outing was not corporate America. We went to Mascara Park. Link did not like something, be it the sun, wind or stroller. The short walk consisted of strolling to our mailbox, me pushing the stroller while Bryce carried LInk to the park, going to the library to drop off a book, nursing on a park bench, sleeping in the stroller on the way home. All in only 2 blocks. It took us another 1-2 hours to get ready to go to the store. When we finally got it done Link went to sleep pretty quickly in the car seat. One thing I was unaware of, teenagers base thumping cars are excellent white noise for babies.
In addition to our outing Michelle Gifford (who took our pregnancy photos) came over with a gift of a book of baby photography. I love it!
My body is changing in many ways. The first way, cracked nipples. That sucks. The second, I feel so skinny. I know that I probably look similar to before I was pregnant but I feel so much smaller. Today I called Bryce to the bedroom to show him how east it was for me to rool over in the bed now. I am excited about that, but I do miss having LInk inside me. He was such a great baby and still is.
