Annaliese’s 29th Day (April 24, 2010) – First of many

Today we went as a family to MacArthur Mall. Annaliese did a great job strolling around as Daddy pushed her. Many people stopped to tell us how cute and small she was. She slept for mostly the entire time until I had to change her diaper. It was the first time I had to change her in a public restroom. I didn’t know until I got her on the changing mat that she had messed up her outfit. Right at the time I discovered the mess a nice lady came out of the stall and starting talking to us. She wanted to comment about how small Annaliese was and then tell me all about the large weights of her sons and how they were never as small as her. The whole time I am trying to conceal the BIG mess that I have on my hands (literally). Finally the lady finished her life story and left. I had to change not only the diaper but the outfit too. Luckily I had brought a sleeper outfit with me. So…she wasn’t the fashion queen for the rest of the mall trip but at least she was clean! Annaliese had her first dinner out too as Daddy and Mommy stopped in to eat at California Pizza Kitchen before heading home. The mall trip was not complete without buying something for Annaliese. She got a new pacifier! She really doesn’t need any clothes right now and plus she is still in preemie things and they are not sold at too many places. I was so excited though when I went into this cute little baby boutique and found newborn pacifiers for sale the same as the ones from the hospital. That is the only kind of pacifier that Annaliese likes and you only get 1 from the hospital. I thought I was going to have to order it online from Hawaii but luckily I found one right here in Downtown Norfolk!

Firt time on a public changing table. Luckily I picked Dillards which has a nice, clean bathroom.

This is her original pacifier from the hospital. Also here she is in her 2nd outfit of the night!
