aracale also in AZ. It's too damn hot to do anything at all right now. Wearing baby in my boba seems like torture for both of us.
Also in AZ! Haven't started wearing baby yet since she's only 4 days old, but with DD1 I used the ringsling for most of the summer, so that's a good option.
My first try at baby wearing- I borrowed a Boba from my friend to hold me over until my ring sling gets here. I loved being hands free and LO seemed to like it too! Only problem was about ten minutes after I put it on, my throat got scratchy and I started sneezing and realized very quickly that my wrap had been hanging out with a cat! So it is now in the washer. On the bright side, I learns that baby is not allergic to cats!

I love this board. Without yall, I probably would've given up on babywearing the first week and then would never get anything done. How do moms who don't wear get stuff done? Do they have magical unicorn babies who don't want to be held every second of the day? I'm seriously debating wearing this kid into the shower bc I'm scared to put her down lol.

I CAN GET A TULA!!
I casually mentioned that I wanted one on Facebook last night and my rich cousin sent me a $150 amazon gift card today and told me to pick which pattern I want! I should use it for more productive things, but I can't really do that since it is a specified donation, right? Right.

I now want a Tula after all the love talk!
I've yet to be successful with getting my child in the moby wrap. I think I keep getting nervous that I'm doing it wrong even though I practice with the video multiple times. She just likes to refuse to bend her legs or move her head. Most often she just freaks out wanting to eat.
So Ava has broken out in what I think is prickly heat rash. I'm pretty sure it is from wearing her two days ago I wore her on a very short walk (short because I got too hot) by the time I got home we were both very sweaty. Yesterday I wore her but stayed inside and turned the ac up. I use a ktan. I have just started wearing her and I'm really loving it, but not if she is getting too hot and sweaty :/

Decided not to get the Ergo off of the BST. But I just sent an e-mail to DH asking for a Tula for Christmas. Isaac is already 13 lbs. 15 oz. (official weight from his check-up today), so if he has good head control, we probably won't need the infant insert by then. I'll just want the toddler attachment for DD!
I did a search and didn't come up with anything but I know it's been mentioned.
Thoughts on a mei tai from Walmart? We got a gift card and my k'tan is too big and I wasn't able to shrink it enough..
I never used it when Isaac was an infant but I did borrow one from a local baby wearing group when he was a toddler and I wore him on my back. I really liked it but was afraid I wouldn't use it so i never bought one
Got the Ktan in the mail today. I like how easy it was to put on and Little A fell asleep instantly. I'm a bit frustrated though because even though I followed the size chart, it may be just a bit too big right now. Her head is not snuggled tightly to my chest regardless of what I do with the straps. I know she's going to get bigger so I don't want to send it back and get the size down then not be able to use it in just a few months. Anyone have one and can offer any shrinking tips?
Same for me. I tried to wash in warm and dry on high and it seemingly shrank but stretched right back out..
I will try to get better pictures later but it turned out pretty cool albeit not really galaxy looking! I can't wait to wear her! I have never used a wrap before though so I am nervous.

Tula should be here today and hopefully before we leave for the weekend!! Still no word on the infant insert. Did the tula website send shipping information when they sent it for you guys? All i've received is a confirmation email.
