Having A Newborn Means Choosing Delivery

For the first six weeks MAS was home from the hospital we had to be hyper-vigilant about not exposing him to airborne diseases like RSV and the ilk. He was eligible for the Synagis vaccine, but our ped still wanted us to be really careful about who came into contact with him and when.

That meant no grocery stores, no corner bodegas, no subway rides. Et cetera.

And that's when the underground world of NY Delivery opened up to us. Ah, such a glorious, luxury filled existence. One I'm now loathe to give up even though we've been cleared to go anywhere we'd like.

Here's a list of things I've gotten delivered--or am about to have delivered--since MAS left the NICU.

Meals from local restaurants.
Groceries
Laundry--cleaned, folded and dropped off within three hours!
Cat food
Cat Litter
Cat Grooming (Yes! Next Thursday the Aussie Pet Mobile will swing by our abode to groom Jasmine and Janus with uber-hip and hair-ball eliminating lion cuts.)
