*I am feeling 10x better except for the occasional nausea but overall...so much better.
*We are having a late winter and it is still really cold here. I just want a pedicure and flip flops...and dresses. Now that my belly is growing I just want to be in a dress.
*Teething this week is kicking my butt. Crabby fussy man. But given B's sweet personality I still get lots of smiles and cuteness.
*I would give anything for a tranquilizer and a good night sleep. LOL. Maybe when new baby is 3.
*B has been super cuddly this week. He usually fusses after a while being in my lap but this week he seems content to just chill.
*I want a good baby sling for new kiddo. I hated the moby and B never used our Bjorn. Since I cant do a double stroller since B has a special chair, I figure I will push B and carry baby in sling. Any suggestions?
*Happy Friday.

I used a ring sling with my daughter and loved it. The one I used was from http://www.sleepingbaby.net/. She's reputable and her slings are hand made with excellent quality. She's one of the well known sling makers. Just be careful not to buy from someone who isnt following all the regulations. Good luck!
Oh that bottom right picture of him!!! Cute cute!
Love all the photos! So glad you are starting to really feel better!
I swear by our ergo! We will be using it a ton with #2, as well!
A friend introduced me to the Sleepy Wrap when I had my second daughter. She was a preemie, so when she came home from the NICU I wanted and needed to wear her but she was too tiny for most carriers (she came home at a hair over five pounds). The great thing about the sleepy wrap is that it is firm but stretchy - you wrap it around (easy to follow illustrated directions) in one of several positions, depending on baby's size and your preference, and because it is stretchy, you don't have to try and leave the right amount of space for baby. E is 26 pounds now, and I still use it sometimes! Also, it is cotton, so even in summer it did not make me or her swelter and it washes great. Because there are no straps or buckles or hardware or anything it was smooth and soft for her delicate and oversensitive preemie body and skin. It was also easy to nurse in. They are not carried in many stores the last time I checked, but are easy to find online.
I second the Ergo! My guy was an extreme refluxer and I could not put him down. I wore him in the ergo 8+ hours every.single.day until 6 months and we still used it a ton after that, was well worth the price and wore very well evey with the beating we put it thru LOL! My favorite once he was big enough was to use it on my side so he could sit on my hip, that was very comfy for me.
I third the Ergo. We bought it when my daughter when she was almost one. They do have a newborn insert you can get. My husband and I both used it for years with her. I think I stopped using it when she was about 3. We would use it when we mowed the yard, went shopping or on walks. The only think I didn't like about it was I always felt like my pants were falling down. Strange but just recently had someone else say the same thing. I had a Moby Wrap and also didn't like it. There are a lot of slings and carriers out there. I know some baby groups have samples you can try out.
Glad to hear you are feeling better! My nausea finally subsided as well. Now we have heartburn and I can't get enough sleep! All worth it!
Hands down get yourself a Boba 3G! It is similar to the Ergo, however you can wear a newborn (over 7lbs) in it without having to use an insert like you do with the Ergo! The Ergo infant insert is so bulky, and God help you if you are wearing it in summer. I've used both the Ergo and Boba, and would chose the Boba every time!
Look at those teeth! I think you could probably design a great dual stroller for the 2 of them. There might even be something out there!
Ergo! I use mine at least four times a week. I actually have two for hiking trips for both kiddos. Goes up to 40 lbs.
I love the Baby K'Tan! It allows many positions and it super comfy!
Boba 3G!!
LOVE my Boba. Still wearing my babies at 3.5 years and 2 years....this mama of four needs as much hands free as possible!
