Let's See . . .

What shall I wear today? I know! I'll just wear my baby!

Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-law, Charlotte, Miles and I are now enjoying a baby sling! She was so crafty and generous to make me one from scratch! I love the fabric, and Miles has successfully fallen asleep all snuggly in the sling at least twice. I was even able to enjoy my trip to the grocery store last week. No more holding in a binky while Miles rides in a teetering carseat on the shopping cart that I can't push in a straight line with one hand! (how's that for a run-on sentence?)

Charlotte has a way of making things I treasure. She made me an heirloom temple pouch when I was married to her baby brother and beautiful little bonnets for my babies' blessing days. I'm so lucky.

Thank you, my dear Charlotte. I love it.

from what I see and hear, Charlotte is the ultimate fabulous gift-giver - everything she makes is so thoughtful and beautiful. I LOVE that baby sling - it made me almost ready to have #3! (notice I said ALMOST) I can't get over how cute it is and how stylish a mommy you are wearing your little man in his personal hammock. Love it.

It is darling... and he is so cute in it! (I'm glad someone else, besides me has BALD babies (o: we enjoy rubbing Ali's little 'fuzz'... but she's almost 14 months old so it's time for some hair (=. Had I known how SIMPLY made the lucky baby ones are, I probably could've tried to do it myself... but then again for $20 clearanced, I probably couldn't beat it!

I tried carrying Ali in it, but she was like "what in the heck is this?" and being 20 weeks pregnant, it was a killer on my back. Glad to know it works great for the little newbies!

Skinny Lie-Les! Jealous Chel-Ra! Although I've never looked so skinny in my life, I would like to look like I didn't just have a baby!

And cutest ever sling! I'll have to get one of those with #2!

He looks so cute in there! I agree... you look fabulous! I can't get that skinny in 20 miles of running a week + a marathon!

Cute sling! Miles is adorable, and like the others have said, you don NOT look like someone who just had a baby. :)
