Monday and Tuesday were kind of rough. By Wednesday, I had to get out of the house, so Claire and I went to Target. I was nervous getting out by myself, but I really wanted to try. We shopped for about 10 minutes and then Claire started screaming. It was horrible! Every person that I walked past looked at me and said, "aww", like, "I feel so sorry for you." That was the day that I learned how to carry a newborn with one hand and push a shopping cart with the other. Eventhough Claire didn't enjoy the trip too much, it was nice to get out. The rest of the week was so much better. Claire wasn't sleeping during the day, so it was hard to be at home and not be able to put her down. Well, I called the dr. for some tips on getting her to sleep and sure enough, they worked! So now she is taking naps.
Everyone kept telling me that it gets easier when you hit the 3 week mark, and I really feel like it did. I am really enjoying getting to be Claire's mommy, I can't believe she will be a month old next week...she's growing up so fast ; )
