hollydfromtn that break out experience sounds cool. Kind of like a video game mixed with the movie Saw lol. But I totally understand that friends w/o kids don't know how it is. I hardly ever hang out with my friends anymore bc they are always starting things at 7 or later. Sorry, can't do it (unless it's a planned in advance thing so my parents can watch the girls but it usually isn't).

The videos for it look awesome. They have 3 different scenarios to choose from right now: the kidnapping, museum heist, and casino royale. There are also other locations for it. I can't ever keep straight where everybody is from, but here's the link to check if there's one near you. thebreakoutgames.com

We're definitely going to try and reschedule for a Saturday so we can go in the afternoon.

PikoPiko how're you & L feeling?

I totally blame F15 & Instagram for the heart eyes emoji being my most used emoji.

I shamed H at work into giving me his coffee. I texted him to meet me in the cafe so I could give the car keys. He sees me, signals to wait a minute, and buys a latte for himself, but not for me. #sorrynotsorry

I bought him one 30 minutes later to make up for it.

Well we survived our night out with friends with only moderate fussiness towards the end. If it hadn't been for the hour wait, I think S would have been fine. We were not expecting the wait to be that long. Every other time we've been there it's only like 20mins tops. We ended up making it home 2hrs past bedtime. He went down really easily, but I have a feeling I'm going to pay for the late bedtime tonight, though.

Also, I've forgotten how to adult and make small talk. :/

I realized this last weekend. All I had to talk about was DS and with people that don't have kids that topic got old quick.

So I did end up going to happy hour. It was a lot of fun. The fun half of the group who doesn't complain about everything was there. It was nice and a lot of fun.

There was a couple there who had a teeny tiny new squish. My coworker, who also had a baby in January, and I were gushing. Another coworker was fussing at us saying we aren't allowed to leave for 3 months again.

lilyelayne hollydfromtn thanks! It's a didymos teviot in size 5. I will google what you suggested. Our "local" BWI group meets a little over an hour from my place. I have been holding out on the meet ups because I am lazy and don't want to drive that far if I don't have to but I may just have to bite the bullet and do it.

That looks really pretty! And you'll probably be able to do FWCC in a size 5. 5 or 6 tends to be most people's base size.

That's a long way to travel for a meet up, for sure. Maybe there are some moms closer to you who are in the group & y'all can do an unofficial meet up? Do they have an active fbook group or anything?

None of the babywearing groups around me are BWI. I'm sure there are some meet up or fb groups that have regular sling meets near you that aren't affiliated with BWI. The couple I go to are run by owners of babywearing shops.

Yeah, there's no official BWI chapter in my entire state. The group I meet with locally are on fbook. Someone was selling a carrier on the local baby B/S/T page and in the comments a few ladies started talking about wearing, and from that came a fbook group.

The bigger city near me has a wearing group as well that coordinates through fbook. The problem with trying to find groups on fbook is unless you know the actual group name, it can be hard to find what you're looking for.

I found my local groups through putting in "babywearing cityname" into Facebook or googling the same.

That wrap is really pretty. I love that it's a neutral color. I agree with the other ladies, that you should look into another group a little closer to home. An hour is a long way to drive for a meeting. I've also started trying a Robbins hip carry this week, too. It's a fun one to try after you get the FWCC figured out. There's also a Poppins hip carry, but I haven't tried it yet.

PikoPiko how're you & L feeling?

Thanks for asking. We are finally done with the plague at this household. I'm feeling like a new person, but L is looking new in a different way - drool rash down both corners of his mouth/chin. Daycare has photo day coming up this weds, I doubt he'd heal in time. I really want to put some hydrocortisone there, but it's prob not safe.

We had some friends over for pumpkin carving for the afternoon, I got some newborn cuddles in. Another friends just announced they're expecting their 2nd baby in April! I'm so excited for them. Their first was Christmas day last year. 2 under 2! They asked if we'd be considering another one... Nah. I'm really not ready.
