First Saturday Morning Coffee Run as a Family of Three

After last Friday's attempt to get outside left me a bit miserable, I decided to spend all week in and a lot of that time in bed. Thank goodness for Grandmas who have been taking care of us since we got home with Sofia (but that's a whole other post that I will have to write another day). Without them my regiment of bed and sofa wouldn't have been possible.

The other morning when Seth went on a coffee run, I had wanted to go with him but quickly realized how impossible it was to jump up and go. The days of being on my own schedule are LOOOOONG gone! Going with Seth wasn't going to happen because he needed to go right then while he was on break from work and Sofia was moments away from waking to eat. Being out and about with a fussing, hungry baby just sounds TERRIFYING!! I decided Saturday, when we had a flexible schedule, would be a good day for an outing.

The mornings seem to be filled with an almost constant flow of nursing with short breaks between sessions. This morning was going about the same way as usual. Towards the end Sofia starts to get a little frantic in nursing and squirms quite a bit (not sure if this is her resisting being full, resisting sleep, needing to burp/being gassy... Or something completely different). She was a bit fussy and I was sure we were never going to get her calmed down enough to get get in the wrap to go. I put it on, we slipped her in and she was out before the wrap was even tightened up... Like instantly out. She slept sweetly through our walk in the light rain, through a passerby who had to stop to admire her, through the coffee shop, all the way home, and through mom and dad chatting and enjoying coffee.

We'll spend the rest of our day lounging and resting inside, and tonight we'll watch K-State play football!
