21:06:02 cabfam Really??!!! oh cool!!
21:06:12 cabfam I didn't know there was a babywearing chat!
21:06:21 Vonnie guess you can wrestle with my boy
21:06:23 host_littleants if only we had web cam....
21:06:33 Vonnie lol
21:06:51 host_littleants got my own to. he has my spritzer now and is happy
21:06:53 2girls+twins wrestling the little guy
21:07:13 Vonnie lol
21:07:24 Vonnie for me i definitely feel i just can't do it
21:07:32 Vonnie let alone wear" him in any way lol"
21:07:41 host_littleants so i just ordered a ellaroo small wrap and am getting excited for it to arrive.
21:07:44 cabfam What's your fave type of carrier?
21:07:56 Vonnie me wanting to try making an ABC bu
21:08:02 Vonnie i dont think i can bec washer not working -
21:08:11 Vonnie vaccum not working and im living in a pigsty lol
21:08:23 2girls+twins right now, i love my kozy. i am 7 mos pg with twins and can still wear my 20 lbs 22 mos old
21:08:31 2girls+twins looks funny, but it works
21:09:12 Vonnie yeck
21:09:19 host_littleants so much for modified bedrest.  :guilty
21:09:59 2girls+twins actually, the wearing of my tot supports the belly so the contractions are less
21:10:13 host_littleants my sister just ordered  a MT from rosie something. she likes the fabric. I am interested to see the straps of those vs the kozy and ellaroo
21:10:23 2girls+twins maybe I should let Kozy know that babywearing is kind of like a cure for preterm labor
21:10:26 cabfam I just paid for my kozy!! :)
21:10:46 Vonnie tell her to order from you!
21:11:00 host_littleants who?
21:11:05 Vonnie you littleants
21:11:18 Vonnie :p
21:11:23 host_littleants my sister???  hahaha
21:11:35 cabfam It hasn't been long since I discovered babywearing - yes, so sad but I'm enjoying reading up on whats out there.
21:12:51 host_littleants there are so many. i just had someone show me the strapless african" carry for the back."
21:13:11 host_littleants it looks easy enough, but I haven't tried it yet.
21:13:58 cabfam so many styles and ways of wearing baby.
21:13:59 2girls+twins i saw a pic of that in mothering, i think
21:14:25 host_littleants i found these today too, it looks neat. http://www.meitaibaby.com/
21:14:56 host_littleants just think 2 girls, you will have 2, so you can do twice as much fun babywearing. ;)
21:15:03 host_littleants okay why is that not a wink?
21:15:47 2girls+twins yea, there is this LLL conference coming up, i will have to figure out how to carry one on the front and one on the back - cuz strollers are not allowed ;)
21:15:59 2girls+twins it is a wink, the mouth goes up a little when you wink
21:16:11 host_littleants there will be a babywearing class though. and a session on nursing twins.
21:16:23 Vonnie the torso wrap you mean littleants?
21:16:42 host_littleants it looks more perturbed to me.
21:16:47 2girls+twins cool i didnt know that - hopefully the nursing is figured out by then (they will be 4-5 mos old)
21:20:54 host_littleants :sleeping:
21:20:57 host_littleants :pos-pg
21:21:29 host_littleants hmm...guess everyone really is sleeping.
21:21:42 2girls+twins WHAT???
21:22:21 host_littleants i was checking to see if everyone was alive.
21:22:25 cabfam Still here, trying to keep ds away from the computer
21:22:28 Vonnie what?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
21:22:33 Vonnie now im awake!
21:22:38 host_littleants still no fertility. :)
21:22:45 2girls+twins that was mean!!!
21:22:45 Vonnie k
21:22:56 2girls+twins you got a year with only 1 baby???
21:22:59 Vonnie i just came back on
21:23:04 Vonnie and saw that geez you :-)
21:23:11 host_littleants sorry :whistling:
21:23:34 host_littleants yep a full year and still counting
21:24:01 host_littleants my one baby is equal weight to two of yours
21:24:22 2girls+twins good point
21:24:22 host_littleants so shall we chat babywearing.
21:24:23 Vonnie now im confused lol
21:24:48 cabfam I'm forever reading up at thebabywearer.com and looking at carrier sites but can't seem to think of a babywearing question to ask!
21:24:48 host_littleants if I had that webcam of my chub you wouldn't be
21:25:29 host_littleants it seems like everynight another type of carrier pops up.
21:25:29 2girls+twins littleants has made 1 big baby boy that is bigger than my little one who is 9 mos older than hers :)
21:25:38 host_littleants i like adjustable MT idea though.
21:25:53 2girls+twins i am still trying to find a newborn carry for the kozy
21:26:22 host_littleants that is what is cool about the adjustable. did you check out the link? I bet you could just adjust the kozy to do it.
21:26:53 2girls+twins i finally found it on the kozy site
21:28:07 cabfam pls excuse me, ds is fussing - time for bed.
21:28:29 2girls+twins i glanced at it, but did not pay too much attn
21:29:23 host_littleants no i mean the one i just posted today. it adjusts the bottom. although you still have headcontrol issues
21:29:46 host_littleants i think the moby will work great for two in it.
21:29:58 2girls+twins i dont think that there are head control issues with the kozy
21:30:21 2girls+twins i am still trying to figure out the logistics of the moby and 2 :)
21:31:02 host_littleants how would it support their heads?
21:31:55 2girls+twins the kozy - you fold it over (the bottom) so that their heads are right at the top of the carrier - clear as mud?
21:33:23 host_littleants yeah i looked at their site. the back newborn carry looks easy too.
21:33:48 2girls+twins but there is no way i can get another kozy
21:33:57 2girls+twins maybe kozy on back and moby on front?
21:34:02 host_littleants i love the www.meitaibaby.com fabrics., but i really don't need another carrier. I am still holding out for my didy
21:34:43 host_littleants if you got a long enough woven you might be able to wrap both one on front and one on back.
21:36:12 2girls+twins that sounds scary
21:37:15 2girls+twins how does that mei tai adjust, i just dont get it
21:38:44 host_littleants so before anyone disappears, I am going to do a intermission to get opinions on when to move this to.
21:38:44 Vonnie oh
21:38:49 host_littleants it has a drawstring
21:38:49 Vonnie its not like a belt but
21:38:58 Vonnie a tie knot kind of adjusting
21:39:09 Vonnie to fit your body and holding you rkid close to you
21:39:27 2girls+twins drawstring, that makes sense
21:39:38 Vonnie wait little you are due?
21:40:03 2girls+twins july 15th
21:40:24 2girls+twins sorry, wrong board
21:40:35 Vonnie i think this mei tai is ridiculous?
21:40:51 Vonnie july 15th - first where are you 2girls lol
21:42:27 host_littleants what about it is ridiculous? I am just curious. what one person loves another always hates.
21:43:01 Vonnie drawstring at bottom
21:43:06 Vonnie exaggerated i think
21:43:46 Vonnie i hope its not hot where you are 2girls
21:44:08 2girls+twins not too bad
21:44:12 2girls+twins i am in illinois
21:44:37 2girls+twins okay, littleants - when do you want to move this chat to?
21:45:22 Vonnie oh? little you wanna move it?
21:46:25 host_littleants yeah, i had to bike back with one kid tonight so i could get home before my husband and son. it would be great if we could move it so the Thursday Night Barbeque" wasn't conflicted"
21:46:53 Vonnie bbq yummy
21:46:55 Vonnie where?! lol
21:46:58 Vonnie when is good for you?
