yesterday jon, helen, and mateo invited me and asher to go out with them. i have been very hesitant to venture out into the world with little guy because i don't know how to manage his needs. jon said i couldn't stay cooped up inside all the time and encouraged me to just go out. i don't know what came over me, usually i'll make up an excuse to stay in, but i was feeling brave enough and decided on going out. it was the best thing for me, for us.
asher had his initial meal in the car ride to lombard, vomitted it all up, which was ok, i had to deal with that. had intermittent naps, managed his crankiness. had a good lunch at uncle julio's and asher was fussy, but he did allow me to get a quick bite =). little man had a burp he couldn't get out after he fed, fortunately we were done with our meal. afterwards we headed to oakbrook mall and asher was asleep the whole time, usually konks out after his meals and the movement in the snugli lulled him to sleep. just before we left the mall we did a quick stop at nordstrom's for diaper change and since he was awake and in good spirits i figured i'd nurse him. nordstrom's has a great women's lounge with a nursing lounge! he did really well, but on the ride back home, it was intermittent fussiness.
it really was great spending time with them and i'm glad i went out. mateo was a great manong, during asher's fussy episodes, mateo would offer his bottle to soothe asher, soooo sweet of him. then when we dropped asher off at home so poppa could change his diaper, mateo cried because he didn't want asher to leave. mateo will be a great manong to asher. felix asked if i took pictures to document the moment, unfortunately i did not. rather i have one of mateo, asher, and their wonderful inang.
i'm glad i went out and glad it was with jon, helen, and mateo. thanks guys for being so encouraging and supportive! i love you guys!
