Moby wrap

I have fallen victim to the moby wrap, yes its true.  I needed something to carry Saige around in that let my hands be free & her feel secure so I could get stuff done around the house when she's feeling clingy.  We went to target & there it was, so I purchased.  Let me tell you, I knew it was long because of the idea behind it, it had to be.  However, I didn't know it was that long!  Good grief, I feel like I'm wrapping 100yards of fabric around myself.  The first time I wrapped myself & went to insert Saige I didn't like it, it felt too loose.  I had to recruit my very own Martha Stewart to come help me out.  So Cam wrapped me in this football field length of goodness & we put Saige in.  She was hesitant at first, but I think she was reading off of my reaction & hesitation.  So yesterday, we practiced with it more at home & we have success!  She slept in it for about 30-45 minutes while I did a few things around the house.  I will be practicing with it everyday to get the hang of it & try different holds.  Yesterday we did the kangaroo for a little bit, then we went into the hug hold (this is where she fell asleep).

I refuse to let this be the only carrier I have.  I mean, could you see someone trying to wrap that much fabric around themselves in a parking lot?  You would probably die of laughter or give the stink eye.  So now, I'm looking to invest in an Infantino carrier for store trips & such, lugging that car seat around is a PITA.  I'm also going to be stalking babysteal.com for the next time an ergo carrier goes on sale!  Those things are wonderful, but they're pricey!
