    Midstreammama, have you tried swaddling in the carseat?  Oscar was just this side of unbearable in the car until I started doing it.  You can do it safely by making sure the arms are swaddled over the...

I felt all those things with my first.  Not so much this time but I remember.  I actually had to mourn a bit for the baby in my tummy - it felt so much like she wasn't the same baby.  Once the smiles and giggles started...
