Everyone in our house has a crappy cold. We all have the snuffly, achy, throat hurty yuck. But even while I feel like I have been run over by a truck the girls still need mommy, the dishes still need done and the laundry still needs washed. This is where baby wearing comes in handy. Ruby has been a bear the last couple of days because she isn't feeling very well. So when she is fussy and things need done, I pop her in the wrap and I'm able to do almost everything I need to. Today I went to the laundry mat. I wrapped her in a kangaroo carry and did all the laundry with her like that. My wrap works well for nursing. While I can't nurse her in the wrap because I am nursing challenged, I wad it up on my lap and use it as a pillow. It was fantastic! She loves the wrap so much that she was immediately cozy with her little face on it. I have got to learn to back wrap better. Getting laundry out of a humongous front loader and into the dryer and then out of the dryer and folding it is a task when you are looking over the head of a baby. Now let me clarify it is still easier than listening to her scream while I'm doing it.
Last night we had some friends over for dinner. It was so much fun. I made homemade Pad Tia for dinner. It tasted great! I forgot the rice noodles in the hot water for to long though and it was more like Pad Mush but the flavor was fantastic. We played some games dinner and Felice was a life saver. I was able to sooth a fussy baby and play games with my friends at the same time. Yeah, I'm a bit obsessed with this wrap. But it truly makes my life so much easier. And Ruby loves it to. She will actually cry if I have to adjust it because she thinks I'm going to put her down. Its really cute. As soon as I re tie it she stops crying.
Tommy is going to have a fit though if I keep buying wraps. So I have decided to pick three and sell the rest. Boo. But I guess I'll try and be a good wife and make my hubby happy since he totally supports me on lots of things. Plus I'm pretty hormonal right now since I'm post partum and may feel a bit more "in need" of more wraps than really necessary. But if you ask some of the sweet mama's I have met on the baby wearing sites with monstrous stashes they would beg to differ. But my new goal right now is to get my pay pal zeroed out. Why do they give me credit, ahhhh, it makes it so hard to resist all the pretty wraps.
So in a prior post I talked about my lovely lady wrap Marigold. Well I traded her tonight for a Girasol Big Sur. I hope I love it and I don't get sad about loosing Mari. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I will definitely let you all know how the new wrap is when I get it.
