This carrier is sleek in design and comes with special health benefits that no other baby carrier can boast.  This carrier has special &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/item_610/Boba-Cedar.htm"&gt;foot rests&lt;/a&gt; for the child to use which ensure that his or her knees are kept at a 90 degree angle thereby increasing blood circulation while being worn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boba comes in 6 different color combinations all which reflect colors found in nature.   Wear the Boba on your front or your back and feel the comfort of having your child's weight be evenly distributed throughout your back.

Because of the many different brands and types of carriers, babywearers can end up with a carrier that doesn't work well for them or their child. I'm going to try to demystify the many carriers out there on the market today by giving a short description or definition of each type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Ssf0MmCm75I/AAAAAAAAAxk/m8YqfkzgsJM/s1600-h/fireworks.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Ssf0MmCm75I/AAAAAAAAAxk/m8YqfkzgsJM/s400/fireworks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388543976379182994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;SLING&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; can come in two forms:  a &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_45/Pouch-Slings.htm"&gt;pouch sling&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_14/Ring-Slings.htm"&gt;ring sling&lt;/a&gt;.  A pouch sling is a carrier that must be fitted specifically to the babywearer's body.  It is a very simple type of carrier that drapes over one shoulder and it folds up very small to fit in a diaper bag easily.  Babies can be worn in five different positions in a pouch sling.  A ring sling is an adjustable sling that adjusts with a ring at the babywearer's shoulder.  This carrier is much easier to fit different types of bodies.  Wear your baby in the same positions that the pouches offer.  Wear newborns through toddlers in a sling.

It's currently filled with some really outdated bunk beds that belong to my stepson, but we want to make it more of a multipurpose room that would function for guests as well as Jordan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found &lt;a href="http://www.csnbunkbeds.com/Night-and-Day-PBTF2-GIN-CH-Set-ND1353.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt; and think that they would work much better than what we currently have.  I found lots of other &lt;a href="www.CSNBunkBeds.com"&gt;bunk beds&lt;/a&gt; that would work well for our room as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we had bunk beds with a full bed on the bottom, this would be great for guests.  We'd even have a place for my parents to stay other than the pullout in the living room!  Plus, the room would still work for my stepson when he is here.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we just need to "de-junkify" the room and repurpose it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-2473337804682103195?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/-wU7M3U8AQI/moving-and-grooving.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SrV1llIhfzI/AAAAAAAAAxE/RtxgfwrRyDE/s72-c/bunk+beds.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/09/moving-and-grooving.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-4876616335210040430</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-18T10:59:05.690-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">babywearing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Heavenly Hold</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ergo baby carrier</category><title>New ERGO Baby Carrier Designs</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SrPKYfn6uBI/AAAAAAAAAw8/QV9pA57CSlQ/s1600-h/galaxy+grey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SrPKYfn6uBI/AAAAAAAAAw8/QV9pA57CSlQ/s400/galaxy+grey.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382868501792471058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SrPJ6jTz6nI/AAAAAAAAAws/ZHtfqMXqamI/s1600-h/sienna+sunset1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SrPJ6jTz6nI/AAAAAAAAAws/ZHtfqMXqamI/s400/sienna+sunset1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382867987385805426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yay!

This mantra can be heard from many mamas around the world with their very own little "velcro babies" otherwise referred to as babies that want to be held and carried all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have my own set of little babies like that and until I discovered babywearing, I was complaining of a stiff back, aching neck and pain in my shoulders as well!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Babywearing will help alleviate pain in your back, neck and shoulders because instead of carrying your baby on one side of your body and only using one set of muscles, you'll be better distributing the weight of the baby throughout your back, neck and shoulders.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A classic pouch sling or ring sling (ex. &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_10/Slinglings-Pouch-Slings.htm"&gt;Slinglings&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://heavenlyhold.com/category_16/Taylor-Made.htm"&gt;TaylorMade Ring Slings&lt;/a&gt;) does this by spreading a piece of fabric across your back and distributing the baby's weight throughout this piece of fabric.  A pouch sling can be great for quick carries for older babies or wearing newborns in the cradle carry position.  However, for longer periods of babywearing it may not be super comfy because it's only using one shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For longer periods of babywearing, or for someone with a history of back problems, a two shouldered carry will be much better!  Two shouldered carries include:  &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_39/Wraps.htm"&gt;wraps&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_17/Mei-Tai--Asian-Baby-Carrier.htm"&gt;mei tais&lt;/a&gt; (asian style baby carriers) and &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_46/Buckle-Baby-Carriers.htm"&gt;soft structured carriers&lt;/a&gt; (buckle carriers).  Two shouldered carriers do a fabulous job of equally distributing the weight of the child to both shoulders and throughout your back.  Soft Structured Carriers (ex. &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_65/ERGO-Baby-Carriers.htm"&gt;ERGO Baby Carrier&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_30/Action-Baby-Carrier.htm"&gt;Action Baby Carrier&lt;/a&gt;) do an even better job of making your child feel weightless because they have structured waists.  Structured waists transfer the weight of the baby to your most powerful muscle...your quadriceps.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-6818589904825313547?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/HcTy22e6Br0/babywearing-with-bad-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Sp8kfbXWfTI/AAAAAAAAAwc/WPUpsgkFQgo/s72-c/camel+ergo+2.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/09/babywearing-with-bad-back.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-6964282052031339977</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-12T13:05:42.638-07:00</atom:updated><title /><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SoMfRsDE2vI/AAAAAAAAAwM/ciHudaJaGR8/s1600-h/sleepy+bear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 199px; height: 241px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SoMfRsDE2vI/AAAAAAAAAwM/ciHudaJaGR8/s400/sleepy+bear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369169569498061554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/item_572/Sleepy-Bear.htm"&gt;Sleepy Bear&lt;/a&gt; has arrived at Heavenly Hold!  As a lover of babywearing, I enjoy wearing my children in carriers whenever I can.  My daughter is now mimicking me in many of my "motherly acts" as I care for my newest little one.  She has been wearing her own dolls in her own carriers for quite some time though...it's so sweet!  Just last week she asked me if she could put Kiley in her carrier!  Ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The maker of &lt;a href="http://www.heavenlyhold.com/category_40/Sleepy-Wrap.htm"&gt;Sleepy Wrap&lt;/a&gt; has just come out with a new babywearing product, the Sleepy Bear!  He is 100% organic and oh, so soft!  He helps show little ones what babywearing is all about and they are able to take out and put in the little bear in his carrier!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Use the code:  SLEEPY5 to save $5 on a Sleepy Bear or a Sleepy Wrap at Heavenly Hold!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-6964282052031339977?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/rzkiJD7C3ao/sleepy-bear-has-arrived-at-heavenly.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SoMfRsDE2vI/AAAAAAAAAwM/ciHudaJaGR8/s72-c/sleepy+bear.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/08/sleepy-bear-has-arrived-at-heavenly.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-5865229331282671928</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-07T11:00:16.905-07:00</atom:updated><title>Kiley's Birth Story</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxreXbXTxI/AAAAAAAAAwA/R850tJBbEMQ/s1600-h/102_0040.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxreXbXTxI/AAAAAAAAAwA/R850tJBbEMQ/s400/102_0040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367283025347825426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxrApvc0gI/AAAAAAAAAv4/snCnJzq-eLY/s1600-h/102_0024.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxrApvc0gI/AAAAAAAAAv4/snCnJzq-eLY/s400/102_0024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367282514867835394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxquFHjoNI/AAAAAAAAAvw/RYSKA2AC2SU/s1600-h/102_0020.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxquFHjoNI/AAAAAAAAAvw/RYSKA2AC2SU/s400/102_0020.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367282195799187666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxqTXpdjxI/AAAAAAAAAvo/y4EEPDGQpI0/s1600-h/102_0016.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxqTXpdjxI/AAAAAAAAAvo/y4EEPDGQpI0/s400/102_0016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367281736916766482" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Snxp7rub96I/AAAAAAAAAvg/iUL_aM1PAFQ/s1600-h/102_0014.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Snxp7rub96I/AAAAAAAAAvg/iUL_aM1PAFQ/s400/102_0014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367281329989482402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxpmwFWC4I/AAAAAAAAAvY/1WlxZVd08VQ/s1600-h/102_0011.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxpmwFWC4I/AAAAAAAAAvY/1WlxZVd08VQ/s400/102_0011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367280970382052226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had an emergency C-Section with Kaelin...she had a prolapsed cord.  I had a really tough recovery from the surgery and was not excited about another C Section especially with a toddler to take care of at home!!  Also, nine days after I had Kaelin, I got a DVT in my leg (Deep Vein Thrombosis--aka. blood clot).  The recovery from that was about as bad as the C Section was!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got OK'd to try a VBAC from my doctor and I was excited to try laboring again and have a (hopefully) easier recovery!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought for sure I would go into labor before my due date since Kaelin was early, but no, I did not.  I had a C Section scheduled for my due date (July 9th) if I didn't go into labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day before my due date I was really bummed but gave it over to the Lord with the help of my husband.  However at around 1am I woke up with contractions!  I waited before getting up to try to figure out what was going on and if they were sticking around.  They were!  3-4 minutes apart!  I was really excited.  The doctor told me to come in and check in to the delivery floor!  Yeah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was still only 1 cm dilated and no epidural was possible because I'd taken my shot of heparin (to prevent another blood clot) just a few hours earlier.  Hubby told me to just try to get some sleep (yeah right!) but it was not do-able...I labored all night and then they checked me again in the morning...still only 1-1.5 cm!  I was really discouraged after that awful night I'd had.  at 10:30 am when I still hadn't progressed (and couldn't have potossin due to it being a VBAC), I decided to go ahead with the C Section. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The surgery was much different for me this time around since it was emergent.  The dr thought that this baby (didn't know the gender at this point) would be as tiny as Kaelin was so he just used the same size incision, but she was bigger!  I could hear him and the nurses referred to "her" so I knew it was a girl at that point!  The dr. told me that there was NO WAY I would have delivered this little girl vaginally b/c she had one of her feet up by her ear and the other foot down...doing the splits!  He had a hard time getting her out because of this!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kiley Renae was born at 12:53 pm on July 9, 2009 and weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz.  and was 19 inches long.  She came out squalling and crying...which was different for me to hear because Kaelin was quiet!  It was a wonderful experience this time and I experienced so much more JOY at Kiley's birth!  I was so happy to be the mother to TWO girls now!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-5865229331282671928?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/-_E4mZdYQ_o/kileys-birth-story.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SnxreXbXTxI/AAAAAAAAAwA/R850tJBbEMQ/s72-c/102_0040.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/08/kileys-birth-story.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-4487319049919277264</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Jul 2009 19:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-28T12:12:20.986-07:00</atom:updated><title>Kiley Renae is here!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Sm9NfLokU_I/AAAAAAAAAvQ/ouliRkcSS6o/s1600-h/102_0024.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Sm9NfLokU_I/AAAAAAAAAvQ/ouliRkcSS6o/s400/102_0024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363590879315776498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll post more about the birth and arrival and adjustment of Kiley but for now, here's a picture!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-4487319049919277264?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/g1NoIAy4Dg8/kiley-renae-is-here.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Sm9NfLokU_I/AAAAAAAAAvQ/ouliRkcSS6o/s72-c/102_0024.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">6</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/07/kiley-renae-is-here.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-7746415721803843429</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-07T10:37:54.236-07:00</atom:updated><title>My Little Babywearer</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SlOGwl1p55I/AAAAAAAAAvI/V1cfUkWalo0/s1600-h/kaelin+babywearing+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SlOGwl1p55I/AAAAAAAAAvI/V1cfUkWalo0/s400/kaelin+babywearing+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355772551222650770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I think babywearing her dolls (and Mrs. Potato Head) is great for her because she can be a little mother to them while I am mothering and babywearing baby #2!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SlOGsRC_HBI/AAAAAAAAAvA/_4bv5wfeOBg/s1600-h/kaelin+babywearing.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SlOGsRC_HBI/AAAAAAAAAvA/_4bv5wfeOBg/s400/kaelin+babywearing.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355772476921945106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaelin has a couple of carriers...one made by me and one purchased on FSOT of thebabywearer.com by me!

I was just going along thinking that she was so easy, so compliant and amenable...but at times, I see that changing....and this change isn't a good one...especially with a new baby coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning during our normal Monday morning grocery store jaunt, Kaelin needs to use the potty, then she doesn't, then she wants water, screams when she doesn't get it, then she does need to use the potty, screams when I try to put her in the cart.  What gives?  So I try to let her walk along side us as we shop.  She dilly dallies and I try to give her some leeway, but it just gets ridiculous.  I try to shop and carry her (I'm basically 9 mos preggo!).  Then she wants back in the cart!  Ugh!  Can a mom get a break? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need her to know when it's time to play and when it's time to get down to business.  Many times, I've just told myself that an argument or a tantrum from her isn't worth it and I give in and now I think I'm starting to see the results.  I'm praying for disciplinary wisdom from the Lord...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1616947343185190883-4724525222796765392?l=babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/ROCr/~3/ZZIZY3gic1A/instilling-discipline.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/Sj_FMcpQw7I/AAAAAAAAAuo/_nc3k87Tohg/s72-c/K+cleaning.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://babywearingbuzz.blogspot.com/2009/06/instilling-discipline.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1616947343185190883.post-2384857814339932905</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-16T11:44:51.249-07:00</atom:updated><title>Scootababy in Review!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SjfoHsfJxCI/AAAAAAAAAug/Vnds_IixB6c/s1600-h/versailles-205x300.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 205px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7bA-AbKlOow/SjfoHsfJxCI/AAAAAAAAAug/Vnds_IixB6c/s400/versailles-205x300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347998301424305186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heavenly Hold had one of my favorite products recently reviewed by &lt;a href="http://upscalebaby.com/blog/gifts/scootababy-hip-hold-carrier/"&gt;Upscale Baby&lt;/a&gt;....the Scootababy!
