I don't normally accessorize much. The only thing that I wear that could be considered an accessory is minimal jewelry, and usually I find something I like and wear it morning, noon, and night. It's rare if I ever change it or take it off, even in the shower. I used to wear rings on every finger and something big and hippy looking around my neck every day. Now it's my wedding ring, and a diamond necklace that Mike bought me. Which btw is one of the first diamond things that I've ever owned and wore. And like I said it never comes off, not even in the shower. Lately, I'm for comfort. I guess that happens to you when your a mom. Even when it comes to clothes I no longer care about style, it's all about how comfortable I'll be, and whether I look fat or not. (at least I haven't TOTALLY given up.)

Me and a friend of mine, who is also pregnant, have been talking recently about the idea of "wearing your baby". These being the second for both of us the idea of having your hands free while holding your baby is very appealing to us. Especially since we both happen to be people who multitask to a fault and would have a hard time just doing one thing at a time *GASP*

So we went about searching on-line for some ideas. They are very cool looking. But, I always think that those cool printed scarves for your hair are cool looking too, and have a bunch.....that I never wear. (can't shower with them...jk) Will I ever use this thing? Sounds like a good concept in theory. Apparently, as one website pointed out, it's the newest fashion! All the celebs are doing it!! This whole idea of being the NEWEST THING usually makes me shy away from things instead of go run out and grab them. I'm not a fan of being IN. *shrug* However the idea that this is the newest thing is pretty laughable. I mean my parents were using slings and carriers 30 *cough* something years ago. I think maybe it was the newest thing then.


Now of course if I was going to look like this chick while wearing it, I might be tempted. Seriously....who would like to bet that this girl's stomach has NEVER seen childbirth before. Let alone a couple of months prior as the child she is "holding" suggests. Talk about laughable. And also, this kid doesn't loook all that comfortable...and it doesn't seem to bother her one bit.



Anyway, where was I. Oh yes.....to wear or not to wear. What do you guys think? Anyone with 2 kids ever use these things? Keep in mind I'm in the suburbs and not in the city, so walking to the store aint happening. Also, will wearing your baby spoil them? Will they get "used to" being held every second and not want to be put down? Cause that could TOTALLY backfire on me, and that would suck. The point is to be able to do stuff with Allie and the baby without being bogged down, not to raise a spoiled baby who wants me to hold them all the time while I have a toddler who ALSO wants to be held all the time cause I'm holding the baby all the time....and AHHHHH.

Although how much would Althea LOVE carrying her dolls around in one of these just like mommy? I might buy one just for THAT reason. (p.s. How funny is the face of the little boy in this picture. He's all like - Your kidding with this thing...right?)

Also, I'm pretty crafty....think I could possible make one of these? Doesn't look that difficult.
