After Zech was born, I happened on a website, www.raisingarrows.net Amy talked about wearing her babies and I thought, oh another granola girl, little makeup, all natural, oober healthy, you know the type. Of course she would be wearing her babies. But that is just not for me.
Don't get me wrong, I tried in the past with lots of uncomfortable contraptions, which only hurt worse than holding the baby for hours. Amy suggested a wrap out of a long piece of fabric. Again, I only half heartily read her blog. Until she talked about her baby girl who passed away at 7 months old. She referred to her smell, the hours they spent together, the closeness they shared. My eyes were opened. There is something about being close to death or even experiencing it that makes you value life more.
There I sat reading her blog, balling my eyes out, and starring at my Zech. You see with his heart problems, I held him alot more than I did the older kids. I knew exactly what she was talking about. Zech and I shared this common closeness. So I thought why not.
I stopped into Joanne's, grabbed some fabric and well gave it a try:)
Zech loved it! I mean he really loves being right there next to me.

Nothing like bonding with your brother!
Hannah had to have a wrap for "Tiny"
The best part is in the grocery store my toddler is not touching everything, she is snuggling with her momma. Happy as can be, no tantrum, no wanting in and out. She is just close to her momma which is right were she wants to be.
So, for this momma. I am officially a baby wearer!!!
