Due in March/April/May 2013 Roll call!

cinss- I saw your baby wearing thing , where you said you are getting a ring sling. I never loved ring slings lol but i just never could get them to fit right (I Had one made out of a woven too) but I wanted to point out that when the baby gets bigger its much easier to have one where the weight is divided 2 shoulders. Ring slings are great but I think you definitely need more than just a ring sling especially when baby gets heavy because it hurts when all the weight is on one side..

I have a LOT of carriers and wraps etc lol. I wore DS1 a lot.
the babywearer.com is also a good site

Yes please I am due May 14th. My eyes are swollen and red from crying over the shootings. I just found out about it and just cannot make any sense out of it. It is just too sad and horrible for words!

I'm so heartbroken, like everyone else, over these shootings. My heart literally aches...every time I think I think about it, I cry. I didn't even know about it until I got in my car after work and turned on the radio, about five minutes before President Obama started the press conference. When he started to get choked up in his speech, I just lost it. I haven't had the heart to turn on the news, so I still don't know any details. And I don't know if I ever want to know...
In other news, I have my scan tomorrow at 11:00 am. After today, it seems like small potatoes. I am just excited to see my sweet little baby, whether it be he or she. Hug your babies tightly tonight, mamas!!

hmm i am not really sure what to do, i think i just need a ring sling for when bub is newborn, so i can still take DD in the pram or trolly. Then when bub is bigger i will probably just put him the pram and DD will be able to walk. i did have a Tommee Tippee baby carrier with DD and i only used it once, i have given it away, i always prefered to put her in the pram but that was because i only had 1 child with me.

I love my ring slings. The other carriers, not so much. I'm the opposite of spinning -- the two shouldered front/back carriers just don't fit me or my lifestyle well. And I second the babywearer.com recommendation. If you have friends that have carriers, or a baby store nearby that sells different styles, it really helps to be able to try them out and get advice on how to carry in the ring or pouch/sling-style carriers.

TTP good luck tomorrow on your scan!!

Yes I know our area there is even a baby wearing group where people will get together and you can try different ones. I think body type and fit etc matter !

TTP- what time is your scan??

DS3 is in Kinder, I scooped him up as soon as he got out and couldn't get home fast enough. :( My heart hurts for those poor families and they're in my prayers..

Good luck and healthy baby vibes tomorrow, TTP!
