Just came back from a dinner date with hubby. Haven't been out without baby for a long time. Suddenly hit me how much my life has changed....Even though everything revolves around baby now, I can't imagine living my life without her, without ever experiencing motherhood...
xin,
I was just like you, didn't dare to bring baby out alone, until I got the carrier last month. So far I've only brought her out alone to a friend's place, the last gathering and a quick shopping trip yesterday. Didn't bring stroller cuz my girl can't sit in it for long. Good thing she's happy hanging out in the carrier and can sleep in it, otherwise I think I wouldn't want to go anywhere. You're so lucky your boy can fall asleep easily in the stroller! Mine used to fall asleep quietly in the stroller when she was younger, not anymore! I miss those days! Why don't you put baby in the carrier when he needs to be carried and you have free hands to manage the stroller. Then transfer baby into stroller when he's tired? Start out with a short trip so you don't have to bring so many things. And feed at home before you head out so you don't have to worry about feeding outside.
Dovey,
Ya! Everyone turns and stares when baby cries! Mine also knows she'll be pick up straightaway when we're outside haha. I think the earliest I can make it for the gathering is 1pm leh. We haven't confirmed dates for Phuket yet but tentatively 2nd week of Jul.
carebear,
Your hubby's usually not home for dinner on weekdays? I won't dine out with baby alone too, hubby has to be around.
Marrissa,
Your friend poor thing lah, hyperactive boy. I guess we should count ourselves lucky our babies are manageable outside huh?
