Almost Forgot

I mean, how could I??? I am excited to say that I have finally snagged a spot for a custom Mei Tai from ObiMama. I am sooo excited.

A little background: I LOVE baby wearing. Although I think our stroller is super cute, I'd just rather carry my baby. It all started off, get ready this is TMI territory: because of all of our breastfeeding troubles. The short of it was that for a while he wasn't able to nurse and was on bottles ALL THE TIME! I wanted to ensure that we still had an intimate bond and so began the baby wearing. We started off with a gift from Jerry and Jill, the Baby Nest Carrier. I was strolling through the neighborhood just 4 days after giving birth with Julian strapped to my chest:

As you can see, I was incredibly exhausted. Anywho, Nick decided that he didn't feel sturdy enough in this so he ended up getting the B'jorn which you can see him wearing below. I didn't like that carrier, at all, and decided I wanted yet another one which would be easier to put on than my stretchy. Mostly for short walks, and in restaurants when we took the stroller and had to leave it aside. The purchase was the Maya Ring Sling: 

This one was great, and Julian just looks soooo precious in it. But wait, I wasn't done yet. I now needed a carrier that would be great for long walks. After trying on a few different buckle style carriers, I settled on the Gemini Becco. Seriously, I'm obsessed, it's a GREAT carrier: 

 

But of course, I needed one more (for now). After browsing the internet and reading up on reviews, I knew an Obi Mama was for me. She does beautiful work. This isn't what I got, but it's a sample of what the overall shape will look like :

I can't wait. Will definitely post pictures once it arrives.
