Meet Braden! 24 hours old at the hospital with Daddy

"Baby TV" as Jay calls it. Braden enjoying his play mat.
In other news, Braden and I had a big adventure today! We went into Calgary for the first time. I had everything organized and packed in the Escape so that when Braden was done eating I put him in the car seat and off we went! It's about an hour drive to Calgary and I just went into Sunridge. I went to Old Navy and bought myself some "fat" jeans so I can feel semi-normal and not be lounging around in yoga pants until my hips go back to their pre-pregnancy state! I also bought some size large t-shirts to accomodate...errr....uhhhh....Braden's buffet, I'll say! NONE of my pre-pregnancy size medium shirts fit me :(
Sadly there was not much to shop for for Braden! I think they're in between the winter and spring styles because the pickings were slim for my little man! Not that he needs a lot of clothes as his Grandma Burrell spoils him rotten and he's got 3 showers coming up! I found something really cute for him to wear at Lisa's wedding in April and I bought him a onesie with a blue tractor on it...that's about it! So we only spent about an hour shopping and then I didn't want to press my luck so we headed back home, just in time to wake up and eat! I still get a little anxious about doing things like this for the first time. I was tempted to phone a friend in Strathmore so I could change him and feed him, but we made it. I know I could handle anything that would happen, I was fully prepared to nurse him at the mall and grab a bite to eat myself, but he just slept through our whole shopping experience and I didn't want him to scream the whole way home. I'm getting better with every new thing we do, but I just don't want him to be upset! :)
Thank GAWD he didn't inherit the shopping gene!!
