My Mei Tai



I have been debating and looking for another baby carrier for over a year.  I would see one and think, "Ok, I'll buy that one!" and then something would stop me or I wouldn't want to spend that much money.

Then, for a baby gift, my Granny and Papa and my parents gave us  money.  I held onto it for a long time.... waiting on something big to put it towards.  There are lots of things that would be nice to have, but if this is our last baby, I really hated to buy "new" or "new to us" equipment and only get a little bit of use out of it.  So, I finally decided that I was saving the money for a carrier.

Once I decided that I was definitely using the money for a new carrier, I had to decide between a Ergo and a Mei Tai.  I had wanted a Mei Tai for a long time, but wasn't sure which company I wanted to purchase it from....    I sort of liked the Ergos, but I didn't like the build of it and I really liked the Mei Tei carriers better and I knew that it was something that I could get "unisex" so that Hubbie could wear the boys in it too.

One day, while on Facebook, Melissa had "friended" Heavenly Hold.  I went and looked around and saw that there was a website.  I looked for Mei Tai carriers and saw some that had been returned, but were in great condition.  I saw one that was largely discounted and then I found a coupon code, so I knew this was my new carrier!

I got my new carrier for a GREAT price!  Its a wonderful Mei Tai.  I love the feel of the fabric.  Heavenly Hold was a wonderful company to work with.  I got the carrier in 2 days MAX.  Baby Bean has done quite well in the carrier.  I like it a little better than my favorite carrier (Sleepy Wrap) because I don't have to unwrap as much to nurse/take the baby out, etc.



Its a wonderful addition to my baby wearing stash!  I even wore Baby Bean on a very chilly night while we walked through a "Bethlehem village"!  I love it and look forward to many more cuddles with my babies!

So pretty! I love the fabric. I wish I could have gotten used to using a mei tai. I guess I was too lazy and always just popped them in the sling so I could get them out easier to eat (which was often!).

I don't have to tell you (again) how much I love mine. Glad you finally found the one you wanted. And Heavenly Hold is wonderful to work with (that's where I got part of your Christmas present).
