intheruinsLike everything else in Darrow, it seems that raising a baby is completely different to what it had been in North Carolina.
Sent home with few disposable diapers, bottles and something that they call formula, Serena isn't at all sure where she ought to start when it comes to setting up a nursery for George. There's only one bedroom in her apartment which means their space will be shared, but Serena still wants a corner of his own, a bassinet and a mobile and a changing table to begin with.
Just getting around with a newborn proves difficult, especially after surgery. A woman in a supply store mentions something about babywearing when Serena arrives simply holding George against her chest, swaddled against the cool. Then she goes on and on about the difference between strollers and prams and Serena finds herself longing for a time when things were much less complicated.
More than anything, she finds herself longing for the antique bassinet that Pemberton had imported to the camp and Pemberton with it.
It takes far longer than it should but eventually Serena decides on a bassinet to keep by her bed and changing table - both in white. She asks for them to be delivered but leaves with a dozen smaller things in a bag. She still hasn't settled on a pram, though, and the struggle to balance a baby in one arm and her purchases in the other means she drops her shopping bag, burp cloths and clothes and pacifiers falling onto the sidewalk.
