I am proud of myself!

deodeo
in May 2011 Moms

Today I was out with baby all day for about 8 hours.  It's the longest I have been out of the house with him in public.  I nursed in public several times... on a park bench,  in the food court at the mall, at a coffee shop.  He got fussy at the grocery store and I was able to calm him down in the store instead of feeling panicked like I needed to rush home right away.  I just continued to shop with him in one arm and pushing the cart with the other.  It was great. 

Today made me feel like I am really getting the hang of being a mom. It's not that scary any more.  Anyone else feel like this now?

    Aww yay for you! =)

    I wish I could say I felt like that...I still have yet to make an outing longer than an hour. It's just wayy too much for me!

    Not an outing, but we had a power outage tonight and DH and I were sitting at the table with an LED camping lantern playing a board game. LO got hungry part way through and I sat at the table breastfeeding him and playing with the other hand.

    You're a rockstar for being out with your baby for 8 hours.

    I haven't gotten the hang of being a mommy quite yet. I paid for my neighbor to come with me to get pedicures yesterday because I was terrified of getting one alone with the baby. He was a happy and easy baby like he normally is in public, but I was afraid of looking like the basket case mommy. 

    I hope I can be like you soon.

    Nothing like just diving in!

    As long as I had a reasonable night's sleep, I'm usually up for being out. It's very liberating to realize you can get back to life and still take care of the baby, too.
