And i'm not really planning on buying any unnessecary things, because we can't afford it. Is a carseat mandatory? Like, can I just go home with her in my arms? Lol, im baby-illiterate.

Oh and the hospital thing -

if I end up needing to go in the morning, no one is home here except for me and my grandmother, so I guess we gotta call an ambulance.

Ya its mandatory to have a car seat...But I just thought of this...Is it mandatory to have one if you dont have a car?Lol its a blonde question lol. Dont worry I dont have alot either, you just have to make due with what youve got...I can see maybe if I am done with some of the stuff before you give birth (because my baby is due tomorrow ) if you dont mind having used stuff that maybe I could send it to you? I know I dont really know you but I could get to know ya lol. There is special things for when the babys cord is just cut?

Ka, you are going to need a car seat sweetie.

Yes, ms. Blondie...As long as your baby is riding in a car, it needs yo have a restraint. No matter if you own the car or not. It could be a taxi cab and it would still need one.


Dont worry ka, we will find ya one.

Ooooh, lol sorry! Hehe. I still think you may need one...Maybe not. But I dont think she lives near the hospital. Its a good idea to have one because your baby and you are going to have appointments after birth and she is going to need shots and what if she gets sick...All sorts of things.

Yeah, I think they can...Its against the law for a child (under the age of 14 in texas) to ride without some kind of restraint. For any period of time...
