Yikes! I have to admit I was a tad bit apprehensive leaving my daughter (geez, My. Daughter. Can you believe that? I still can&#8217;t.) at home. Granted, we didn&#8217;t stray far for dinner, we didn&#8217;t linger at the restaurant either. It had been too long a time since we&#8217;ve been there, the sushi chefs didn&#8217;t recognize\/remember us! Anyways, the mango sushi roll tasted so good. So. Good. The sake nigiri just melted in my mouth. And the Happy Together roll wasn&#8217;t too bad either &#8211; the strawberries and bananas took a getting used to, but it was quite tasty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule? What Schedule?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mads is nearing her 1 month birthday &#8211; already?! I feel like I should have her more on a schedule, but really our days haven&#8217;t been that structured.<\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;ve been writing this post for the past week&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Out and about<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like we did with Lucie, we&#8217;re taking Mads everywhere &#8211; to get her &#8220;socialized&#8221;. Starting from when she was 4 days old &#8211; yes, 4 days! &#8211; she&#8217;s been out and about. She&#8217;s been to Fort Funston and on her first visit there, was greeted by a Great Dane. She didn&#8217;t like that too much &#8211; heck, even Lucie doesn&#8217;t like it when a Great Dane greets her. The highlight of (last) week was Mads&#8217; first trip downtown! Granted she slept in her stroller the whole time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meals on our friend&#8217;s wheels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lifesavers for S &#038; I have been the meals our friends and family have been bringing us. There are definitely moments where cooking dinner is the last thing on my mind (I haven&#8217;t even had lunch today!), especially those days S is at work &#8211; which is 4-5 days a week. We&#8217;re only in week #3 of meals and it&#8217;s greatly appreciated and like my friend Dani says, it really is one of the greatest ways to help out new parents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Etc&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yay &#8211; who&#8217;s excited for the season premiere of <a title=\"Grey's Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.greyswriters.com\/\">Grey&#8217;s Anatomy<\/a>?
