Mama's First Outing Alone With Lenabel

On Tuesday afternoon, Lena and I dropped Daddy off at the University and headed over to HCMC for a visit with the lactation consultant. It was just me and baby, the first time since she was born that we've been away from Dad and also outside the house. I was a bit reluctant and scared at first, but the visit with Joanne went well (despite Lena being diagnosed with thrush again), and afterwards, I decided to take things a step further, and we headed to the mall! GASP!

Much to my surprise, our shopping trip went better than ever imagined. I was able to cruise the maternity section at Macy's and purchase a couple of nursing tops and a nursing bra, all while Lena slept in her stroller. What an angel! Seriously though, I left the mall one proud and happy mama. Proud of Lena for being such a good little girl, and proud of myself for actually having left the house alone with a five week old baby!
