so, i've just discovered the world of babywearing and i've done some research. I like the Moby Wrap especially with UV protection. Majority of the year our UV rating is 11+ (the highest). But, I can make a wrap really simple and RIT makes a UV wash additive for your laundry for only $1.99 a box. But, I need something simpler since I will have 2 toddlers and a newborn that nurses frequently. I like the ring slings because they are very adjustable and I can wear Welsey currently in some of the positions. I'll have Anna make one probably. I think a pouch will be the easiest to use especially at first. However, I need to get a pouch for Ben, too. Mom used to sew every project I wanted, but her health has really gone downhill in the last month or so. Not to mention she has lots of other things going on, so she's only movitivated if I sit in the sewing room with her. And sincer her house is torn apart right now and isn't child-proof. That won't work. What I really need to do is have her show me how to use my machine so I can practice and get better and just make my own items. But, until I get really good, I'm not making something that is supposed to contain my children. Safety being an issue. Plus, it'd be great to be able to experiment and actually make my own clothes and misc. baby crafts for my children.
One income is hard enough, and Ben has to go back to school and finish something. or rather just start. He didn't get an associates before his mission and worked instead when he got home. Add a third baby in diapers to our situation and it's going to be tight. But, I know we'll manage.
