I just went 5 rounds with my baby carseat. Thankfully, I won so I don't have to return it. I couldn't figure out how to loosen the straps and my attempts to install the canopy rods were comical to watch, if a little hard on the ears. But it's all set now and I understand how the whole contraption works and I love the extra features I didn't even know about. It has two head supports that are very easy to remove and not only does it have a boot for chilly weather, but sewn into the boot is a fleece blanket to pull up over baby. Very cool. So as long as it doesn't get recalled before the baby is born, then I'm ready :)

We visited with my cousin yesterday for a bit. Actually, she's my cousin-in-law, but that sounds odd so cousin is good enough. She has a 6 year old and a 3 month old so our kids are/will be very close in age. The kids got along well and I enjoyed seeing the baby. Tabitha was loving on her from the moment we got there practically. Thankfully she's an easy going baby who didn't seem to mind constantly being touched on the cheek and kissed and having someone's face right in her face. I hope our baby is that lax about feelings of personal space because I don't think Tabitha will ever be able to not touch her.
