4 weeks old! (Yesterday.)

We've been getting out of the house a lot more lately. On Monday, Luke and I went on our walk at Tusculum and then I got adventurous and went to the grocery store. I took him in there in his Baby K'Tan wrap, and he spent the first 10-15 minutes just looking around while I talked to him about what we were buying for dinner. Then he fell asleep and was an angel the rest of the time.

Wednesday was my 4-week appointment. I left Lukie with Pete at the museum with a bottle, and it went okay until I was at the pharmacy getting medication and Lukie had a freak-out. Pete said he basically flipped out until he exhausted himself, and then fell asleep.

Today, Lukie and I felt brave, so we went to the Kingsport Public Library together without Daddy. Luke did so well-- he slept MOST of the way to the library, needed to eat when we got there, and then went in his K'tan wrap and slept the whole hour and a half we were there. We turned in the books I had checked out before I went on family medical leave a little early, and then we spent some time with another of Lukie's surrogate grandmas on her last day at the library. Luke slept the whole way home.


AND Lukie looked super cute at the library today. Thanks for the awesome duds, Amy Warters!!

Also, I just want to say thank you to all of the awesome ladies who have commented on the blog and on Facebook offering support during Lukie and my nursing troubles. It's been an emotional road, in a lot of ways wayy harder than pregnancy ever was, and it's been great hearing from so many ladies who either struggled, themselves, or wanted to encourage us to work through it. I'm really lucky to have so many cool women in my life, and so is Luke.
