akraus2015 - My Infantino Mei Tai was only $30-something on Amazon so the price isn't way off. I'd be careful about buying a carrier on Etsy since there isn't exactly quality control on homemade items, but a Mei Tai is probably an easier one to replicate if their quality and reviews seem good.
The consignment store had the Infantino Mei Tai for $10 and I'm so tempted to get it. But I already have an Ergo, Baby K'tan, and a ring sling so another carrier seems like overkill, even if it's only $10...
Laundry is done, chili has been in the Crockpot all day. Now we have to run to the store because I forgot to put this week's "fruit" for my weekly bump photo on the list (cauliflower).
Ohh your bump photos with the actual "fruit/veggie" on the pic sound so neat!
I keep wanting to do proper bump pics but I've so far only managed to do so like twice:-/ MH keeps saying since like wk 10 he wants to take some but yeah that never happened yet either. LOL
Yeah.. I've commented plenty on the lack of useful or needed things I got at mine so I'll spare the details. No gift receipts on any of it, either.
I often end up tossing or donating the Christmas shit my ILs purchase DS. Same for Easter (we don't celebrate Easter yet they all insist on getting him gifts 😒).
This reminds me, I've been wanting to tackle the toys in the living room to put them away. Maybe I'll do that while DS naps..
I do not understand the amount of gifts kids get for Easter. It's insane! Maybe because I grew up poor, it wasn't a thing in my family. But kids do not need a bike for Easter IMO. And the baskets I see premade are silly. And the people on my Fb who post a picture of the gifts have me 🙄🙄.
Hangs head in shame! I totes gave my son gifts for Easter and posted on Facebook! (A DVD and some Pokemon cards not a bike) Not every year but I do recall when he was six doing this. Then he expected it next year! We are back to just chocolate now.
I will say the only reason I didn't tell him they can't come at all is semi-extenuating circumstances- he's walking in graduation. He's not getting his degree, we already have it. He's just walking for the ceremony. He's not even close to this aunt and uncle.
The entire family is limited to a 4 hour visit at our place that day and then they're getting the fuck out. No exceptions and it will be 4 hours on the dot.
The aunt and uncle must give me proof of recent DTaP vaccination and agree to no gifts for the kids (they give the most outrageous shit that I automatically trash)

I know carriers are all personal preference, but I ended up hating my K'Tan and absolutely loving the Mei Tai. For $10 it wouldn't hurt to have one around.

I was afraid you would say that.
If it's still there the next time I stop by, I may just pick it up. I'll have to keep it hidden from H for now...

PirateCat - I started using it after a few weeks because I had the K'Tan first so by the time I realized I didn't like it and bought the Mei Tai he was a few weeks old. The instructions say you can start using it at 8lbs and come with front-carry instructions for both newborns and older babies. There's a PDF guide on their website if the one at the consignment store doesn't still have it.
