I want to thank everybody who gave me suggestions on how to go to the store or to the doctor’s with a baby. I’ve done both today, and it went extremely well. Klara slept like a baby that she is through the whole adventure. I even got to go to the supermarket and pick up a few things. It had to be a few things because almost nothing fit into the shopping cart once I stuck the car seat in there.
It seems like she enjoyed the outing a lot more than she enjoys staying at home. This is good news because even I, the biggest homebody of all the homebodiest homebodies, feel constrained by never being able to go anywhere at all for weeks.
