I saw it on FB It's gorgeous, and I'm jealous

Thank goodness for my Snow Rainbow last night. Amelia's had a cough and a bit of a temperature for a few days, so we went off the the hospital when the cough got a hundred times worse within about an hour. She and I waited for over six hours pacing back and forth with her on my back We couldn't even go in the children's waiting room because the other kids in there were just terrorising her, so I paced the short corridor near the toilets If I hadn't had her wrapped on my back, she'd have been so miserable not being allowed to run around. With the pacing, she could see what was going on, see her reflection in the windows, etc....

My rainbow is in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So CAN"T WAIT for it's arrival

ETA: I just stalked the tracking number and it says "Accepted from customer" WTF?

Okay, I am waaaaaaay too clucky right now. I wanted to practise some carries, but Amelia was asleep so I used my Cabbage Patch Doll again... And ended up looking for newborn-friendly carries. Some I can use with her, like the FWCC (look, my first carry abbreviation!), but it's just left me wanting #3 to come right NOW! Anyone have a newbie I can borrow?

Have mine too teni although he's 6 months now so not quite newborn. Hope Amelia is feeling better.

Madb, I've been trying with a linen blend and I think thats my problem. A little to thick and crunchy to learn with? I got fluffy mail yesterday (see below) completely broken in and soft hemp lilies. I did manage a dh although it was still a little floppy, I do think I'll be able to get it with a little practice.

Yay, now with two almost-newbies I can practise tandem carries - and I can rotate the newbs out if I want to throw Amelia in! You guys rule

Just means it's been posted. If it said "delivered" then there'd be a WTF moment.

I hear you on being clucky Teni - I'm majorly clucky as well, have been for a while. So much so my body is playing tricks on me and making me think I might be but the sticks are still coming up negative. Bah.

Sigh. Waiting sucks. I want my Afryka!

DS has only the rare chuck now (and shouldn't mess your beautiful wraps), so you are welcome to borrow him to practise in case you get quads.

[~TT40~]

L ~ so pretty!! and so is bub =) what a cutie.

and yea, I forgot to mention DD will throw up once on your back - doesnt matter if she has just fed or not, and also likes to eat wraps...so dont use anything too nice she will suck the life out of it =P

Hi,
I am very interested in wearing my baby when it gets here in January, but short of going through all of these baby wearing posts, can someone direct me to an article or website that might explain the different types of wraps etc, and the carrying styles so I can work out what I need to buyand do to wear baby?
thanks in advance

[onthefly]

OOOOO that lilies is veerrrry nice!

My DD wiped snot on my back today

nicnac, there's a post somewhere by Suse on all the different types - but I couldn't find it. Your best bet might be on facebook - the babywearing buy/sell/swap page has links to heaps of information.
Also there are local groups that holdmeetups, which are a great way to find out more and actually have a try of things before you buy.

Nicnac - try searching for Kanga Collective or The Babywearer. Both sites have forums with heaps of info.

[NicNac]

Thanks so much- they both sound like some good places to start researching.
