Babywearing Again....

On Monday, while Hubbie had taken Bubbie to school, I decided to get up and move a little bit.  I didn't over do it, but I did putter around the house and do little straightening things.  Since Baby Bean had eaten and spends most of his days in some type of baby invention (swing, bouncer, etc.) I decided to pull out the sling and wear him while I did my puttering.  Ahhhhh.......  Baby Bean was perfectly content and made a funny, contented sigh the whole time.  Finally fell asleep and he was OUT!  I can not tell you how glad I am that I am back to babywearing again.  Its been a long 8 months without wearing a child.  I sure did miss carrying Peanut, but I will again once I fully recover from my csection.  


Babywearing is such a wonderful thing for me and, so far, my babies.  I had my hands free to do my puttering and picking up (don't worry- not bending and picking).  Baby Bean was content and eventually fell asleep.  I wish I had known about this babywearing thing with Bubbie.  Better late than never!  


My Granny and Papa, and my parents gave us some money for a baby gift, so I've been busy trying to figure out what our next sling purchase will be.  I have been drooling over a Baby Hawk mei tai for about a year now.  I am so tempted to get one of those to use with Peanut now and then Baby Bean later.  Or I also like the Ergo baby carrier and think its a bit more manly for Hubbie to use.  Baby Bean is, of course, still an infant and small, and I plan to wear him in my Nonny and Boo sling(can't link to the site- they've closed) and my Sleepy Wrap.  Peanut is too heavy for the Sleepy Wrap- at least for me, so we definitely need one that will be flexible to use for a toddler and a baby.  Any suggestions?

I still like the plain old pocket pouch slings because they work for tiny babies all the way up to hefty toddlers. :-) My favorite is my Mod Mum sling. I started wearing Benjamin as a tiny infant (a few days old) and I can still wear Owen at age 3 (and 35 pounds!).

I was actually contemplating wearing Boo today as I pulled the BabyHawk out of the car to wash. I haven't worn him since June (I think) and I really miss it. I might take the BabyHawk with us on vacation and see if he'll do a little riding. :-)
