Day 11

Today we had our first day on our own. It wasn't so bad. I was mainly concerned about getting lonely, as I've been a bit emotional lately. Thankfully we were able to push this first day alone back by a few days. I thought I would be alone last Friday and again this Monday, but people rescued me :)

We slept until 9 then got up and ate, I fed the dogs, let them out and we went right back to bed. So I guess we had a nap from 11-1, though it was really more of a continuation. We spent the afternoon eating and knitting and then had a nice phone conversation with Panda (my mom's grandma-name of choice). Our dear friend Susan came by with dinner (Penne with Italian Sausage, Spinach and Strawberry Salad and Cookies!!) and got to meet August. He loved cuddling with Susan... she put him right to sleep. August was born on her second son Jake's 3rd birthday. :)

August and I attempted to take a walk with the greyhounds (next time I'll use the Bjorn instead of the stroller!!!) and then went for a short jaunt of our own. It was lovely getting out of the house for a little bit, though I'm cautious to go too far from the house yet.

Carl came home not long after we got back and we had our tasty dinner (!!) and I got a nap while Carl and Gus bonded watching Ultimate Fighter. :)

All in all, not too bad! On the agenda for tomorrow: Auntie Jody is visiting with Owen and maybe I'll make it out to Marin General's Breastfeeding Support Group. :)
