Today we managed the extraordinarily intricate process of changing the baby capsule from the old car to the new car, with an approved fitter. This involved my mum (Adit's mum) driving the new car from Malvern East to Highett. It took us nearly two hours to organise, but all was well, baby capsule is in the new car and Naina, Deepti, my mum and I went for a spin this afternoon.
Going for a drive with a new baby is quite an interesting experience. I know she'll fall asleep at some stage, but that exact moment between hollering, crying and being hungry is dependent solely (it seems) on the speed the volvo can go in a 40 kmh zone. When the car has stopped at traffic lights, Naina seems to stir, so I have also learnt the unique skill of doing bunny hops in an automatic to keep her from getting upset.
Deepti did her best to keep her asleep or amused with a new musical toy. It speaks with an aussie accent but even that drove me mental after about 20 minutes of a woman saying boat and then house and then a door bell ringing. Gotta love kids toys.
Anyway, the drive today wasn't so bad, but Naina woke at 3pm (when we were in Toorak or thereabouts), gulped down some EBM and crashed again. It could explain why she was so gassy later on.
I'm going to post on gas one day, cause it deserves a blog of itself.
Usually, drives also involve a very unsettled baby afterwards. Something about the rocking and vibration makes her sleep but when we stop, she wakes up upset and hungry and wouldn't sleep well. But today, seems to be doing ok! She's asleep as we speak!

Hey, I also stumbled across the bunny-hopping technique, but with less success. It quiets the baby, but makes HJ yell.
