Moby Wrap

Have you had a baby that needs to be held all the time?  Baby J. is my fourth!  While they are so little, I love just holding them and having them sleep on my chest.  However, mommy's got to get some stuff done.

I made a moby wrap - for about a fourth of the cost as you can buy them.  This wrap is basically just a long long piece of fabric.  You can go here for tying instructions.  I used a double jersey knit - and because I monogram anything I can get my hands on - I put a "j" right in the middle.

Normally, he snuggles right in - but this is what it looks like when he pops his head out and screams for mommy to be done taking pictures!

There is an excellent tutorial on Elle Apparel.

Oh Baby!

We've been keeping a secret - a 20 week secret:

Another baby is joining our family and we couldn't be more thrilled.  I am more than slightly embarrassed that I am actually posting these pictures (and I don't know if it is because of my bump or because of the fact that I was washing linens during this), but I know that Grandmas want to see.

We have hit the half way mark and are smooth sailing so far!  Thanks for giving me someone to share our fantastic news!
