Seat For The Car

IMG_2793 (590x393)

I’ve been moving from one thing to the next all morning – starting with a 3 mile walk with some of my girlfriends!

After that (and the fastest shower in history) Matt and I headed to the fire department for a carseat safety lesson! So cool that they do that for the public. And so surreal that we drove home with a carseat in the back! (We’ll be taking it back out until he comes though)

IMG_2789 (590x393)

Sandwiches for lunch!! I was hungry earlier than usual today too – ate a date after my walk and still wanted lunch before noon!

IMG_2792 (590x393)

Today’s sandwich was ham [steamed] and pimento cheese with veggies on Cville Crunch. End piece size!

IMG_2794 (590x393)

Matt had a killer stacked tofu, tomato and cheddar!

IMG_2795 (590x393)

Chips to share – dill pickle flavor!

IMG_2797 (590x393)

I’m sure a bite of S’mores Cookie will end up being a requirement before I leave for the day. I’ve been working on some business things here and just finished up a call. Man I can tell I didn’t sleep well last night – can’t.stop.yawning!

    Yay for car seat safety lessons! They do that here too and I think it helps new parents feel more safe about the “long” ride home. (Even if it’s only 5 minutes, driving at 15 mph can make it a bit more lengthy than usual.)

    Mmmm, smores.

    I had no idea that the fire department did that! I wonder if ours does too. Sounds like a super productive morning. Maybe you can sneak in a snooze this afternoon? (That’s wishful thinking for me and I’m sure it is for you too.. but it’s nice to pretend sometimes!) 🙂

    Car seats were the death of me while nannying. I just couldn’t figure out those dang things! So many belts and straps. Mmm pimento cheese! Definitely something I loved eating while in NC.

    So exciting about the carseat!! It’s getting closer 🙂

    Food question!: I saw on a recent post that you put corn on the cob in the oven to roast it. Did you leave it in the husk, or husk it first? Then what did you do? Olive oil, s+p? And how long? I’d like to try it for dinner tonight, but have never put corn on the cob in the oven!

    • KathEats says

      August 2, 2012 at 2:55 pm

      I take it out of the husk for some good contact browning action. Whatever time + temp was in the post – I forget. Probably 40 minutes at 400* which is our usual roasting system

    We have the same car seat! Also if your fire department does not do the car seat lesson the police stations normally always do, that is where I took ours and learned the trick to get the seat tight with leather seats.

    Why are you taking the seat back out? I thought you went to get it inspected, not just learn how to install it. Will you have it reinspected before baby arrives? Those things are so tricky sometimes!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      August 2, 2012 at 2:54 pm

      No, it was just for education on how to properly install it.

      Reply
      • Helen says

        August 2, 2012 at 3:59 pm

        Oh, ok. Our health department helps you install and makes sure that you know how to install it properly yourself. It was really educational and actually made it seem not as difficult as we were making it! I was so glad we went.

    It takes awhile to get used to having a carseat in the back seat. I would get in, turn around to back out the car, and see the seats. It took me by surprise for at least a couple of weeks!

    Why are you taking it out after they just installed it? Or, are you just unsnapping it from the base?

    Hi Kath–This is just a thought and I’m not sure whether it has been considered or suggested to you before (and hasn’t worked or isn’t recommended), but since you’re having trouble sleeping and have been experiencing a lot of rib pain with your pregnancy, have you ever thought about wearing a heating pad to help you sleep and/or remedy the pain throughout the day? I find them to be incredibly relaxing and tend to do a great job with any muscle or joint pain I’ve experienced.

    Just thought I’d put it out there! I’ve been a daily reader of both your blogs for the last year or so and this is my first comment! Thank you for your inspiration and regularly blogging!

      I might if it weren’t so hot out! I don’t know if I could take the heat. Also maybe a concern for the baby being that close to him? I’m not sure on that though

    Any suggestions for first-time tofu eaters? I’d like to work it into our dinner rotation, but I know my husband will be very skeptical… he’s a total meat and potatoes kinda guy!

      Get a good sear on the edges – or roast it. You want to take out the mush.

        Also, tell him the texture is like the fat on fancy steaks. My husband, at least, would find that appealing : )

    We have the same car seat too. Little tidbit–it is difficult to put the car seat in the middle seat. I know it is recommended there, but I don’t know how I’d get it in. Very heavy and awkward. Ours is behind the passenger seat.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      August 2, 2012 at 2:52 pm

      I asked the firemen that. They said passenger is OK. I had a really hard time getting it out from the middle (empty!) too, but I am also pregnant..

        I too have the same carseat, and find that if you don’t pull on the latch just right, it does NOT come out easily. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t get this car seat again. We’ll see what we do when and if baby number two comes along!

    We had the same car seat for our daughter (she’s 3 now). I liked it because it was green and we were waiting to find out the sex of the baby. Now we can use it again if we have another baby! It was also super easy to get out of the car (base too).

    why did you have it installed only to take it back out?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      August 2, 2012 at 2:51 pm

      It was an educational installation – they taught us how to do it. I left the base in but didn’t want to leave the seat in in case we’re in an accident and then the whole seat would need to be replaced before we ever used it

      Reply
      • Allison K says

        August 2, 2012 at 4:59 pm

        ha! That makes great sense. The base is the part that needs to be installed correctly anyway.I drove around with an empty carseat for 4 weeks before Anderson was born, didn’t even THINK about the accident factor. Good thing it worked out ok. I think BERF would be a good platform for you to emphasize car seat safety, so many people don’t know that car seats have expiration dates, and that they are like bike helmets, one accident and they are no longer effective!

    I’m due just a few days before you, and we’re installing our seat this weekend! I’m not sure yet if we’ll leave the whole thing in there (though I suppose we might – why have it take up space in the house if it really needs to be in the car?), but we’ll definitely be leaving the base in after we get it inspected next week.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      August 2, 2012 at 2:50 pm

      The reason you should bring it in is in case you’re in a small (or large) accident in the next month and they you’d have to replace the whole carseat. Although I totally hear ya about getting it out of the house!

      Reply
      • Kim says

        August 2, 2012 at 2:52 pm

        Hm, I hadn’t thought of that. I suppose I’ll still leave the base in, as that’s the part they’ll have inspected installation-wise. A new base wouldn’t be all that pricey to replace if needed.

          In an accident, your insurance will replace the carseat – it’s pretty standard procedure. But I definitely understand not wanting to leave it in before necessary!

    Good to see you are so organised,not long to go now,try to catch up on some rest if you are not sleeping well, as you won’t know how long the labour will last.

    Those car seats with a handle are great for taking baby about without disturbing sleep….BUT they are a real KILLER on your back, get Matt to handle it whenever possible and be careful how you lift and carry it.

    The nursery is looking great, I love the colour scheme, bright, modern and fresh and not something you will tire of in a hurry.

    Kath, Are you able to just randomly stop by the fire department in Cville and they show you..or do you have to go when they have a class offered or a certain day of the week?
