Who Knew a Trip To Target Could Be So Scary?

It's been over two weeks since you were born, and I have been dying to get out of the house. I wanted to take you places, and show you off, but wanted to wait until you were big enough and I was ready. I finally felt like I was ready to make a trip...To Target we went! 

There were just a couple of things about this trip that I want you to know:

1. I packed a diaper bag like we were leaving town for a week. I think I could have literally survived with you for a week. Needless to say, I needed an extra shopping cart for your luggage. I felt like I had to have one of everything...just in case.

2. I had to talk to myself to back out of the driveway. I literally gave myself a pep talk. 

3. I drove like a 90 year old grandma. I somehow went from an average, young, careless almost, driver..to a slow, cautious, alert, and very observant driver. I feared your safety, almost to the point of ridiculousness. 

4. We made it to Target and I got everything off of my list, and then some! 

5. I was the proudest mother on the face of planet Earth. I walked you around in that cart with my head held high and a smile on my face. All of the women just adored over you and kept commenting on your hair and how precious you were. All I could think was, "Yep, and she is ALL MINE." 

Love,

Mommy
