This month has gone well so far. I thought it would be a hard month and although it is, it's not as bad as I expected. It's still really hard to think about what was going on last year at this time and I still think of Hailey every day and miss her. It's a little sad to think a year has nearly passed since I last held her.


Our friends who had a baby 2 weeks ago came over for dinner and on the way home were in a car accident (not their fault.) We picked them up after they were released from the hospital and drove them home. Luckily we'd already bought a car seat so we used ours for their baby. We bought a 3 in 1. I don't like keeping a the baby in the carrier ones and I find babies look so awkward in them so I wanted one that would stay in the car and use a baby bjorn to carry the baby around. Although we have a medium sized car this seat just doesn't work in it's rear facing position. I had to have the front seat as far forward as it would go and there wasn't really much leg room. So we'll have to give in and buy an infant carrier that I'll probably only use in the car. At least we can still use the seat for toddler age. I'm glad we've found this out now.
