Mommy and Baby Outing!

Today, Diego and I had our first outing on our own. I was really scared. I haven't taken him in the car by myself and when Eddie and I have gone anywhere I've ridden in the back seat with him, so it was hard for me to not be able to see him while I was driving. I made the long trip to Target (right up the street from us) and when I pulled out of the garage he was screaming and I wanted to just pull right back into the garage and stay home, but I knew I needed to do it. For him and for myself. So, I pressed on and he was sleeping about a 1/2 mile from the house. I had never even put the carseat in or taken it out of the car on my own, so doing everything myself was sort of liberating. I had to tell myself, "you can do this Meghan." I don't know why going places with him has been so hard for me. I could just stay home all the time and be perfectly content, people could just come see me here. I know, I know, who wants to be a shut in, right? NOT ME! So, now I know I can take my child out places and its not a disaster. I'm not sure why I was so scared to do it, but I'm sure glad I did. We've been home from the hospital for almost 3 weeks now!
