Babywearing – Page 2 – a hippie with a minivan

new wrap…

Khéna is getting heavy and my beloved Ellaroo’s where just not cutting it anymore… They are beautiful, they are light and strong but the heavier the babe the more pressure points…

So I started looking around and finally decided on a Storchenwiege…

Looking around I found that the best price around here was at Maman Autrement… an Internet based company on the South shore of Montreal. I called her up and asked if I could go get it directly and went to her home last night… turns out she is a WAHM and we know a few of the same people… I debated a bit between the Natural and the Inka and decided to go with the Inka… I love the colours!

I has fun wearing Khéna today and what an amazing difference between the 2 wraps… I am so happy!!

The good and the bad…

What a day…

It was Khéna’s appt for the allergist today.. so Simon took the day off do that he could be with the boys while I go to the hospital. We headed into Montreal this morning and I dropped the guys off a the pool which we thought would be a fun thing for them to do together…

I headed for the hospital, found a parking space and started waiting… when we finally got into see the Allergist and going through the symptoms he had etc she said that is sounded viral and that if I didn’t want it we could just skip the allergy tests so that he didn’t have to through it all.. So I said that I agree and then she said to just start introducing a bit of everything… even peanuts can be introduced at anytime but just to watch him carefully after we do…

So, we left without testing which made us in advance to go get Simon and the boys… So I headed to Bummis for some Covers which we need and then went and waited for the guys…

Simon came out and I saw that he wasn’t too happy… turns out that he got robbed while he was in the pool… the lock on the locker was gone and they took his debit card, buss pass, some money and his work identity cards… thankfully they didn’t get his wallet and his Palm which was in his Coat… Some people really suck…. The thing that hurts us the most is the buss card.. 207$ down the drain… That really cuts into our budget…

Of course today is also the day that I bought a new wrap… I needed something more supportive than my EllaRoo’s because of Khéna’s weight… so now I have a Storchenwiege Inka! I can’t wait to try it!

Hip carry with the Ellaroo…

It is really easy to do and is very comfy!!

I love my new Ellaroo… the colours are so chocolaty…

8 years…

Yesterday was our 8 year anniversary… wow… I can’t believe that it has been 8 years already… then of course… that day seems as though it was an eternity ago…

My mom was here for two days to visit and when she actually showed up I realized that Simon and I could probably go out without the older boys… Khéna of course is too young to be left for an hour or two… so Simon and I went out with Khéna and went to the little Thai restaurant that I love. It was the first time we have been out to supper together like that in about 5 years… of course we had Khéna… but it is not the same…

After the restaurant we went to a little cafe for dessert and coffee and then walked around a bit before heading home… of course the boys were still awake and had just got out of the bath when we got home…

I was a great evening…

oh… Here is one of my gifts….

A new Ellaroo… the new ELSA… mmmm… chocolate coloured…
