Abby, Zoë and Enzo

I definitely didn't think that Enzo's first outing would be so soon.  I figured that we would have been in the apartment for his first week anyway.  This morning Chris was up and ready in case Irene stopped by on her way to Hiper Bom Preço.  We'd figure we would have seen her by 7 AM if she was going.  When she didn't arrive by 8, I prepared to shower.  As I was getting in, Chris answered the phone.  It was Raissa, asking Chris if he wanted to try to register the baby at the Cartório, which he agreed, thinking Irene wasn't doing any shopping today.  While I was showering, Chris came in with a dilemma.  Irene was downstairs, and just rang up, on her way to the super market.  Chris didn't turn down the offer, and asked her to come up to the apartment, however, Raissa was already en route to the apartment and unreachable.  Raissa arrived at the apartment just after Irene.  We needed to do both of these tasks, and super thankful for the help, we decided that Enzo and I would go shopping with Irene, and Abby, Zoë and Chris would go with Raissa.  I was immediately flustered having to go out with this little baby, something that I haven't had to do in quite a while, and here Enzo is only 2 days old.  Chris and his group left, and I put a few diapers, wipes, and a onesie in Irene's purse.  I grabbed the wrap and Enzo's sun hat and off we went.  We shared an elevator with our neighbors across the hall, who have a 6 month old, that we occasionally hear.  Enzo was crying away as I gotten him up, and he wanted to eat.  I nursed him on the ride over to the store, but he only ate for less than 10 minutes.  At the store I put him in one of the carts with a baby seat attached all wrapped up in a swaddle.  We got some attention from shoppers as well as workers, one who remembered just seeing me days before while pregnant, and all were surprised I was out 2 days postpartum.  Everyone asked, Parto Normal (Normal Delivery), because they knew that I would not be out so soon after a cesarean section.  Enzo was so good the whole time.  He stirred a couple of times, but slept the whole time, while I was hurrying through the store.  Finally at checkout, he awoke hungry and let me know it.  I paid and stepped into a kids shoe shop to nurse him.  Again, he nursed a short while, and was quiet until we got back to the apartment.  I can't believe his first trip was to Hiper Bom Preço, a Wal-mart store.  I spent R$86.34 = US$46.91 on groceries.  I specifically bought a new pacifier, and a pair of girls socks for his hands, to be used as mitts.
