When Dan and I were a childless couple, it took us ten minutes to leave the house. Ah, the good old days!
Now: Do we have the diaper bag? Are there clean diapers? Wipes? Change of clothes in case of spillage? Spare shirt for me in case of urpage? Is Sylvia dressed warmly enough? Is she fastened into the car seat? Do we have a burp rag nearby? Where are my keys???
Outings are a big deal, especially after my being sick for two weeks. Two weeks! Yuck is the word. We went to the Co-op yesterday to buy groceries and socialize a little. What would normally be a mundane errand became the highlight of my day. Having a newborn changes one's perspective!
