We've just been...
for our first train ride! 
We live a 15 minute train ride from central Leeds so today Peter (aged 12 days), my mother and I went into town to do a little shopping. Peter was angelic, sleeping the whole way (he is now making up for this by grizzling away :roll
. I learned how to get the pram on and off the train, how to handle shop doors and that I really must make sure that the brake is securely fastened on the pram when it is on the train - there was one moment of complete panic as the pram started rolling across the carriage! 
Anyway, I'm extremely pleased to have done this with support. I now know I can manage even when my mother goes home and it does extend my range of options for getting out and about.
A very smug THG!

I went to the local retail park today for lunch and a bit of shopping with my husband and our 10 day old daughter Millie, it felt nice to be out getting some fresh air but a bit overwhelming too. Dont know how I'm going to find it going out on my own! xxx
