So I am another year older!! EEEEK!! Not sure how much wiser! Lou celebrated his birthday October 27th. So for 15 days I can actually say that I have the opportunity to date an older man. Then November 11th comes along and I join him in his old age.
For Lou’s birthday we went to a Hurricanes hockey game vs. The Capitals. Lou is a Capitals fan so it was the perfect gift. We took our little princess with us. Can I tell you I was a paranoid freak the whole time! I promise you if anyone where we had been sitting as much as sniffled I was going to sit in the car. We started her on a bottle a few days before so we were able to take one for her feeding. Can’t go around pulling nips out everywhere you know! Everything was going great. I bought a Mobie so I could wear her close to me and she was sleeping like an angel up until the 2nd period. So I decided to hunt down a bathroom and get her changed. That is where most of my traumatizing experience took place. So many complete strangers reached out and touched her I thought I was going to lose it. I have decided, based on the research from that outing, that more people reach out and touch babies than a pregnant woman’s belly. I couldn’t believe it. One lady in the bathroom who had just come out of a stall even tried to reach for her! That was it! I was a bit snooty and I turned away. Those that know me already know I am a germ-a-phobe! That was too much for me. Plus, I didn’t really want to be in a setting like that until she was at least 3 months old so I was on the edge. I would never forgive myself if she were to get RSV from our little outing. We all made it though, and 3 weeks later she still has a clean bill of health.
