First Trip To The Pediatrician.

We took Hayden to the Pediatrician three days after he was born. Aside from getting him home from the hospital this was our very first trip outside. Our Pediatrician is about a seven minute walk from our apartment, but to us, with our new precious baby, it felt like the longest walk across the busiest streets where danger lurked at every corner.

In retrospect we probably looked crazy. Every car that passed we'd yell, "slow down - there is a baby!" or "watch where you are going buddy!". We were scared we'd fall victim to senior driving - you know, where a little blue haired lady in an enormous Cadillac from the 80's would accidentally hit the gas instead of the break. Or the man walking his dog would drop the leash and the dog would jump on the stroller. Or the stroller would get away from us and go careening down the street. Or the bumps in the pavement would somehow damage Hayden. The list goes on.

Needless to say, we made it to the Pediatrician in one piece, although our nerves were frazzled.
