I always hear about babywearing, but please tell me I'm not the only one who does this
or this
See this fabulous contraption? (Lynnette, I cannot hear or say that word without thinking of Anna - and smiling!) It is by far
the single best thing I have ever owned
We used it instead of a hiking carrier for the kids
and instead of a double stroller, and my children loved it so - in fact, when they were infants they would both immediately fall asleep in it. I love that I cook with them on my back, and even sit down comfortably with them in it.
My friend
Stacy made it for me - out of silk and velvet... when everything else in my world was turning pink and plasticky, this lovely mai tai was a beautiful, stylin' baby thing!
I wrote this post a while back, but never had the time to track down all those pictures - but today seemed like a good day, because...
Stacy has some doctor's appointments this morning, and I ask that you please send a prayer up for her. I know this is a scary time for her. And then, in honor of her (and another friend of mine, and my aunt and my grandmother and my cousin) please check your boobies tonight, ladies!!!!

I made a similar baby carrier for my daughter and LOVE wearing her in it. My husband has even worn her in it before. She took a little nap while he wore her at my brother's half marathon. So sweet!
And, I will be praying for your friend too.
I am so jealous of that beautiful baby carrier. I wish I'd had something like that when my kids were smaller. I used the sling a lot, but all the weight was on one shoulder. That carrier looks so much more comfortable.
You know I still love my beautiful Mai Tei too! Stacy rocks! :)
A baby wearing momma! Gotta love it!
Your husband is awesome! I love the free spirited, naturey/hippy look. Totally looks like an archeologist - and baby wearin' even! So cool!
I never did 'wear' my babies, but that's because wraps and stuff didn't exist (at least not that I knew of) and the things that did exist weren't comfy. I could have with my last few, but honestly I just never thought about it! Now I have so many arms in the house to hold little ones, I don't really 'need' to wear them. You know? ;) (We fight over babies over here!)
Well, I'm off to bed. Sleepy Lynnette...
Love ya.

I didn't wear my babies as much as try to put them in beach bags....I don't know why, I thought it was so hilarious when they fit in bags (we also used to try laundry baskets).
They are the best aren't they!!!
