Spring!

Spring finally feels like it has arrived and we took the opportunity to take a first hand look at some of the offerings at the local Toys R Us store.

After seeing what's available we are leaning more towards the dedicated car seat. Quick calculations found that either route is similar in cost. The major downside to the travel system is that we would have to switch it out from the car after 4-5 months.

I saw a few people in public using the carrier straps. I guess they're just called baby carriers. I've only seen women use them so far, so I hope it's not because it doesn't fit men. The mom that was wearing the baby also had a stroller though, working shopping cart duty.

I wouldn't mind wearing my baby. One problem is that it would be mid summer at that time so it will be sweaty. I've seen some that have extra breathable materials. I'll post some of my research on it but unfortunately I won't be able to provide first hand experience.

25 weeks tomorrow! Wife's belly is big and kicking. Sometimes the baby kicks in response to my tapping. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. Baby also likes to step on wife's bladder so she will suddenly feel like going to the washroom one second but not the next.

Cat is also enjoying the bump. She spends every morning sitting on the bump through the covers. She's already trying to assert her dominance over the new family member.
