Another Outing...

Today we had an impromptu outing around mid-day. The unfortunate part was that the main reason for going out was to take me into my doctor because of a suspected UTI (darn that catheter when I had the c-section!). I now have 7 days of antibiotics to take although they didn't do a full culture on my sample. The doctor figured I had three strikes: some protein in the urine, some blood, and it was Friday. So, as he put it: "I'd hate to see you land in the ER over the weekend because we weren't proactive." So, rather than waste a perfectly good day where it was almost 90 degrees, we stopped at Target on the way home to drop off my prescription and see about baby monitors.

It's funny walking around with this little tiny girl. I look back at all the years Chris and I have been together (10 grand total!) and marvel at the thought that this little thing is ours. She is so precious and beautiful. I love watching Chris with her and listening to him talk to her too. I think both he and I knew relatively early on when we started dating that we would stay together and eventually get married. Having kids was always in the equation, but now it's for real and Evelyn is almost two weeks old. It really boggles the mind that we are a family with a baby now! We were a family before, but now it feels different somehow. I already look at the world and wonder how Evie will fit into it or what she will be like a year from now. I can't wait to hear her talk and see what color her hair and eyes will end up being. And even though I know that we now have to find babysitters and plan further ahead if we want to go out, it doesn't seem to be that big a deal. I have completely enjoyed hanging out with our daughter and my husband over the last week and getting to know life with Evelyn. It hasn't always been easy, but it's been wonderful none the less. Only two more days with Chris home with us and then I am on my own during the days. I have several visitors lined up next week, though, to keep me from going crazy. :)

So, here is a picture from today taken shortly after feeding time. She was so completely out cold:
