Free as a Bird

Well, I gotta say I'm starting to feel much more comfortable with this motherhood thing.  Things are definitely getting easier.  Although sleep (yes, sleep again!) is always an issue!  Even though things are constantly changing and routines aren't a for sure thing, it feels much more natural now.

Last weekend I bought this ring sling carrier.  It's great!  I am able to carry Lennon around the house and have both arms free.  The other night I carried her in it while we went for a walk at the mall and even breastfed her while walking!  Unbelievable.  Things I would never thought possible even a few weeks ago.  I'm so glad we live in a place where people aren't generally freaked out by women breastfeeding in public.  I do, of course, wear a cover so I'm not totally "free as a bird!"

Speaking of mall walks, that seems to be our pastime of choice these days.  I was at three different malls last week for walks!  The weather has been awful here.  Snow, cold, and more snow.  It'll be so great when the weather gets better and we can go for walks outside!  But, for now it's mall walking.  I've met up with other moms and babies from the prenatal class we did a couple of times.  Last week there were eight of us with our babies taking over the mall!  We looked like a stroller gang.  Haha!  I also meet up with Danielle and George a fair bit for walks and coffees.  It's great to have some other people to hang out with!

At the end of this week we head out on our first trip with Lennon!  We are going to Palm Springs and couldn't be more excited.  All the snow here is depressing.  We need some sunshine and warmth!  It should be great weather there.  Looks like temperatures in the high 20s to 30s!  Ahhh!  Hopefully Lennon will be good on the plane.  It's only a 2.5 hour flight so how much can go wrong in that time?!  Right?!  I'm actually not worried about it.  I think she'll be an excellent flier!

I need to load some pics off of the camera and my phone.  I'll add pics next time!
