I have discovered a new love. Babywearing. Not a snugli or bjorn (those were nice, but nothing I was overly excited about), but a wrap and a mei tai. How I wish I had known about the benefits of babywearing when colicky Ashton was a baby. It would have made such a big difference. Not to mention allowed my hands to be free instead of always holding him! Landon also would have benefited so much...he was such a good baby that with all the chaos of Dan's deployment and ashton still being so young he seemed to always get left in the swing. I love having Thea snuggled up with me and she seems so comfortable. Such a feeling of closeness. It's super comfortable for me and a much more natural feeling than my snugli was. I got my first wrap off of ebay for $30. What a great investment!! Just this week I received two Mei Tai's. One I got off www.thebabywearer.com. I traded some fuzzi bunz for it. The other I bought off of www.diaperswappers.com. Great deals and I have no problem buying them used! I need to have Dan take some pictures so I can put them up. I tried to take one of myself with the delay timer, but I just couldn't get it right.
