I think the law is 12 months in America isn't it? In Sweden they rear face until about 4 and have the lowest death rates for children in car crashes!!
I'm giving up on that discussion now- I've just got loads of morons talking about how they turned their babies once they could hold their heads up because they think a baby would "prefer to see out of the front window"

some people are not worth having any sort of intelligent discussion with!
Just adding up all the expenses we have to account for over the next few months... my head is spinning.... thank god we are planning a small wedding and actually we won't have much to plan if we keep it small.

V if there's one piece of advice re buying stuff, I'd say buy sparingly! You don't NEED much... You can always buy stuff later if you find you need it!
I thought it was longer than that Lou but I don't know. Maybe Lisa/chell can tell us.
If people think their baby looking out to see stuff is more important than their safety they are morons!! Sammuel can see plenty rear facing anyway!

I don't really understand the argument to be honest as FF they can see the back of the seat in front and out the side window- RF they can see the back seat and out the side window- so what's the frigging difference 
Idiots!!!
V- I agree with Suz!! I went absolutely crazy and bought EVERYTHING!! There's loads of stuff we haven't even used!!

There is the garage transformation which is not going to be quite as expensive as planned, the upstairs double glazing that was always planned and we need to do before any sort of decorating.
then a few things like i would like to get a dryer as i am bored of having clothes dryer everywhere in the house and it take so bloody long to dry anything in this blooming country!
thankfully my parents want to pay for the bedroom furniture (i need to check the budget with them) and O's mum is paying for the pram
I think what i worry the most is that although my insurance will pay for us to go private we need to have the money there to pay and then be reimbursed later on.... if I have a C-section that is 11k I need to have on the side ready!

I know it's scary but it will prob go onto credit cards mainly for the hospital bills as they will paid back within a month or 2... if things start to pile up i can say at any point that i want to switch back to NHS care...
it's all a bit crazy I know, but as it will be reimbursed it's just a question of cash flow...
the garage doesn't have to be done up but it would be really nice to have the extra space.... we will just have to see how it goes... and try to book our wedding venue at some point too lol

Honestly since having a baby to look after 24-7 it seems enough of an effort still to brush my hair and occasionally try to put make up on!! 
Last time I washed my hair I didn't brush it and it took me about half an hour to brush out all the knots tonight! Ouch...
I only wear makeup if I'm going out somewhere nice ish...
The other day I wore my pajama bottoms to the post office

I wore my PJ bottoms today to nip Ruudi across the park for a poo!! Half the time I haven't got my own clothes washed and dried because the spare time I do get is spent washing the whole load of washing Ben gives me every day!!

Hey girls, I didn't get on here at all today... Lou, even Daniel didn't get a 7 hour stretch last night Hope Ben does just as good for you tonight!!!
I love wedding planning stuff! But I don't think I could give it as much attention/effort as I did before the baby.
I agree with not buying too much before the baby. There were a few things I really could have saved my money and not bought, but of course I subscribe to this daily deals site and they only have 2 items a day... so when you see something, you grab it. I got this neck support thing for Daniel and then he went and had such a strong neck we didnt need it And a formula holder thingie for going out and of course BFing ended up working out. I thought it would be good for snacks, but its really too small for that.
We've been giving Daniel cheerios the past few days.. he LOVES them
I ran out to Costco and Trader Joes today... while DH went to the movie with a friend. I'm kind of bitter about it because he doesn't do half the shit around the house that needs doing but drags his feet and claims he's doing too much etc. I'm just so tired of our house being embarrasing to have guests come over unless we have 4 hours to run around and whip it into shape. I wish we didn't have so much 'stuff'... and of course Daniel now has stuff everywhere, lol!
As for the ERF.. the law in the US is still 12 months AND 20lbs. But the recommendation is to RF until at least 2 years or as long as your car seat will stay RFing... not many people listen to the recommendation though. Even a friend of mine who was super concerned about organic fabrics, no 3D ultrasounds, no BPA etc went and faced her daughter forward as soon as her feet touched the back of the seat (she was over the age and weight minimums of course).
There are times when people have to turn kids around before they do outgrow the rear-facing weight limits like when they have more kids and can't fit all the seats in with RFing and have to turn one... or if their kid genuinely gets carsick facing backwards I can see why they would turn earlier. Those are reasons why I would do it early, as it is, I plan on RFing as long as I can but we'll have to see what I actually end up doing, lol!
They did just pass a law about keeping a kid in a booster seat until they are 8 years old and a certain height. Now that its a law, hopefully it won't be an issue of being 'cool'. Though I wonder what that does to carpools and school trips etc.
I miss Casey around here
need someone who is on when I am, lol!
