Made in Richmond

Friday: Up to feed the baby. Out to have lunch with my mom and run a million errands in the fabulous weather. Home again to rest a little. After putting the baby to bed, met up with some friends at Kitchen 64 for a late dinner. Home and to sleep.

Saturday: Spent the night tossing and turning due to MEGA PAIN because of a nursing issue (it’s gross and boring, trust me). Finally dragged myself out of bed to feed the baby. Tried to get some rest throughout the morning. Showered and went to my lovely friend Day’s baby shower. Chatted, ate pretty food, and swooned over little baby things (but not to the point of wanting another one). Headed home to rest a bit. Invited people over for an impromptu dinner and wine drinking fest, all the while still dealing with the MEGA PAIN. Went to bed around 12:00.

Sunday: The MEGA PAIN had subsided but decided that the best way to avoid a relapse of MEGA PAIN was to bring the wee babe with me on my scheduled trip up to Arlington for Maura’s shower. Asked Ross to pack “the diaper bags of diaper bags” as this was our first outing lasting more than a couple hours. Made it out the door EXACTLY on time. Stopped after about an hour to feed the baby in a McDonald’s parking lot. Arrived at the shower right on time. Had a lovely time at the shower and got to meet some wonderful people (and catch up with old friends). Headed home in Northern Virginia traffic but somehow managed to arrive just in time to feed the baby again. Gave him applesauce for the first time. Verdict: tart. Taking a minute to rest and write this before doing the final sprint of bathtime and bedtime. So, so tired.

Have a great week!
