We took Roxanne out yesterday for her first walk. The weather was pretty mild, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity. After trying to decide if I wanted to take her in the sling or the stroller, I finally opted for the stroller, after thinking of all the hills around here. We have the typical Graco SnugRide car seat and the stroller we have is the "Callista," and the two actually came as a set. We love them! The stroller is so easy to push, and the seat is much easier to carry than others I've seen. However, the sidewalks in Lake Claire are really horrific. It's amazing how we never noticed in the past, since we just walk the dog, but pushing the stroller down McLendon was sort of like off-roading. Poor Roxanne's hat kept falling in her face, which made her very mad. Finally we took it off, and promptly ran into one of Justin's co-workers, who complimented us on the baby, and suggested politely that she might need a hat for the weather. It was a proud moment...
In any case, we had a really nice time, and I haven't felt so good since before I got pregnant. I've never been much for fitness, so when I found out I was pregnant, I promised myself I'd try harder to be in good shape, just so that our family can do lots of fun outdoorsy stuff. And so I don't maintain a "mommy pouch" on my belly for the next 40 years. For now, long walks are good. I've got to take baby steps. And excuse the pun.
