Another Weekend
I need to buy a carseat soon. Sad but true - we have to return the infant seat we borrowed next month. Mind you, carrying a seventeen pound baby in an infant seat isn't that fun anyway, although it is fantastic for the arms.
We have a very small, very battered car that we will not be replacing particularly soon given that we are planning to throw all of our money into a home in the very near future. So I am considering the Britax Roundabout. It goes to 40lb and I think it will be small enough for our car. Our 10-year old car does not have any sort of LATCH system, but I understand that the Britaxes can be secured with just a seatbelt. I also wonder, do the 65lb seats really take up that much more room than an infant seat? Do you think that would see LM until age 3? By then we'd probably have a new car, and we hope to have a new baby, so at that stage I'd buy him one of those behemoth carseats that go to 65 lb and put new baby into the Roundabout. Just wondering, since the infant seat is reclined so you'd think it'd take up more space. Because if they do fit, then I'd just get the big one and skip the one with a 40-lb limit.
Our house hunt continues. We saw a place that was very promising although the basement absolutely reeked of dog, masked by some sort of vanilla air freshener. The combination was quite overwhelming but the house was actually very cute. D wasn't with me though, so we'll only put in an offer if it hasn't sold by next weekend.
It's interesting what different people focus on in houses. At one place, our real estate agent (who is gay) immediately pegged it as being owned by two lesbians. He spotted the rainbow-coloured umbrella and the Rosie the Riveter poster, along with the framed photo of two women. My gaydar is just not tuned in like that.
P.S. Shout-out to Michelle and adorable (I'm sure) new baby Colin!
