First Outing!

So, today was the big day, Jack met the world outside of the doctor's office and our cars. I took Jack up to see Justin at work and to let everyone who works at Emmanuel meet the little guy. Justin had told them this morning that there was going to be a Jack siting today and the excitement was high. He did not disappoint. From what Justin said, Jack was a big hit. They want him to come up there more often. Of course, preparing for this outing was not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. Jack was asleep and so before I woke him up, I found his outfit, got his diaper bag all packed, and made sure I had everything ready to go. Wouldn't you know when I went to wake him up, the diaper was soaked. At least it gave me an excuse to get him naked so I could redress him. Of course as soon as I had his new outfit on, he decided that a little spit up would make the outfit much more presentable. A little warm water managed to get rid of this attempt at accessorizing. So, we finally get in the car - after about 30 minutes of preparation - with a pacifier in his mouth - he was a little upset after the wet washcloth attacked his face to clean it up - and we are heading down the road, just having turned on Poplar, when - horror - the pacifier falls out. You would have thought that the world had ended from the cry he let out. I tried singing to him and making shushing noises, but finally, the motion of the car did it's job and rocked him back to sleep. It was a little nerve wracking tacking him out not only for him, but for me. I can't believe how nervous I was about the whole outing. Well, that's all for today. Just for a little tidbit, tonight his dad is going to try to let me get a night's sleep and is proposing that he and Jack sleep in the living room so that I won't hear when he cries. I'll let you know how that goes.
