It's amazing how quickly a car can fill up for a new
parent. Preparing for the worst often leads to the worst actually
occurring. When you escape the comforts of home and venture out into the
real world for what feels like the first time, it is hard to enjoy yourself
fully as your attention is on the newest addition to your family. In fact, this
anxiety and planning (and overplanning is some cases, underplanning in others)
makes every trip out of the house a zoo.
That being said, imagine what an actual trip to the
zoo would be like. After packing up more than you even know you had, you are
finally ready to go enjoy the sight and sounds before stress and worry
takes over, second-guessing your packing, doubting if you are ready. Then, you
arrive, pack everything up, attempt to enjoy your day, stopping frequently to
check on everything. Eventually, you decide you've had enough. So, you re-pack
and return to the safety of your own home.
Of course, as time goes on, your attention to detail
tends to as well. It's not that you care any less than before. You just change
what you care about.
