We did it!

On my own today with baby Reese and my goal was to go to Publix and pick up some groceries. It was a rainy morning, but I didn't let that stop us. She had her morning feeding at 9:00 am and then I made the decision to go for it. That meant getting both of us dressed, loaded, and out and back from Publix before her next feeding. I know what some may be thinking.... "What is the big deal?" But, I have never done this before alone. There are a lot of logistics to consider, getting the car seat in, do I need an umbrella, don't forget my shopping list, don't forget baby, and what starbucks drive-thru is on the way? Despite a small bout of fussiness early on in the car, Reese was perfect! I was pretty nervous about the whole car seat on the Publix cart (or buggy as some call it) I still don't think I had it right, but I held on to her car seat the whole time. I basically shopped with one hand, throwing items into the cart. I'm going to better examine the next mommy and baby I see in the Publix to see how they operate, maybe take notes, or take a video. But anyway, we did it. Starbucks and all! That was my power-juice. All this and back by her 11:00 feeding! Whew, what a morning.
