I just managed to feed, change, burp and place a one-month old in a carseat, lift said carseat post c-section, put him in the car, go to the store and successfully complete a shopping trip with no fits or crying from said one-month-old, come home, carry my packages and said one-month-old in his heavyass car seat, feed, burp and put him to sleep in his chair.

I feel f-ing invincible.

If someone had told me how difficult, draining and involved this was going to be I would have figured out a way to have Joph carry this kid like a seahorse. Thank God I can get out of the house now.

You put your baby in a car seat in the shopping cart?? Why would you push your child away from you?!

Congrats Flea! Just wait until he's old enough to ask for EVERYTHING at the store and then fall out in the floor in a crying fit when you say no. Fun times!

I will sometimes starve before I will take Noah shopping with me. He no longer asks for everything, he just wants to push the cart into everything

pppfffft, just wait until they can reach for things but cant talk yet, and try to toss everything into the cart they can get their hands on. Yes, I AM that woman in the middle of the aisle. Im not doing it to be a *****. I do it to ensure the safety of all other customers as my child tries in vain to reach the tower of glass gravy display Smiley: bah

Most people would be inclined to grab at this, not just your child.

You would too if you met the kid's father.

We didn't throw fits. I think it had something to do with my mother threatening to kick my *** all the way home if I so much as looked like I was thinking of disrespecting her. She didn't lay a hand on me, but boy I never tested her, either.

I was very surprised when my niece turned out to be a class-A tantrum princess. I would go into shock and just stare. Thankfully my brother got very good at picking her up and sitting in the van with her once her face was set. I don't think we saw him except going to or coming from the van her entire second year.

Why starve him? Wouldn't that make him hungrier?

Too soon to mention the mailman again?

I'm just curios where that slacker father was while you were doing all the heavy lifting in the first place. Probably off playing some computer game or getting into another argument on the interwebs...

Good going, Flea. I've taken Thom shopping with me regularly since he was born and he's actually very good - most of the time.

Noah's too much like his father. There are no threats in the world that he takes seriously. Even when he's in major trouble, he's still happy as a clam and totally oblivious. It's maddening.

And I meant *I'd* starve, not starve him. Taking a child to the grocery store will drive a ***** to drink.

haha, like I need an excuse

Why wouldn't you just leave the carseat in the car?

Up until the point where he slams into a concrete wall at 120mph.

I hated lugging that damn car seat around. It wasnt until my third kid though, that I found out about and fell in love with the Moby. As they grow older you can change positions for it too. I still throw Soren into it as a hip carrier when we go out for long errands. I've heard the K'Tan is just as good and easier for noobs to use

All the more reason to leave it in the car.

I believe I kept the car seat strapped into the car and just installed the kid when necessary.

(that was a long time ago though....things change I guess)

When it's freezing cold outside it's easier to just throw a blanket over the carseat than go through the grief of unstrapping your warm, sleeping baby so he can crank it up in the store. Once he discovers walking I'm sure he'll want out, but right now as heavy as the damn thing is, it's more of a pain in the *** to deal with the wind/snow pelting him while I figure out how to wrap my ^%$#! moby.

My kids hated any wrap type device. My son had no interest in the store and my girl will lay down, completely limp, in the doors of Target because she doesn't want to do what I told her to do (doesn't matter what it is lol)>

120 is for sissies, it's 200mph or nothing. If you're not getting the full effect of your 5 point safety harness and HANS device then you're doing it wrong, and lord forbid your car doesn't explode into flames to make use of the fire suit.

Also the ground and safety crew needs to make use of their jaws of life and fire extinguishers. Also what's the point of having a little red wagon with a jet engine on it if you don't get to use it to blow debris at the trailer jockeys in the infield.

I'm totally getting one of those for the next kid. It's also amazing when I go baby shopping now (my sister is due this week) to see all the stuff that's come out in just the past five years.

I'm getting a little baby fevery. Of course, then I remember that I'm ******* tired.
