babywearing 101

last night we tried out the moby wrap for the first time. every time i've thought about trying it out i've been alone with azalea and it's definitely not something you can do by yourself very easily (at least at first). the wrap is basically one looooong piece of fabric that you wrap around yourself a bunch of times and then tie. the little booklet it came with showed lots of different examples. once we got it all wrapped around me and azalea inside, she fell asleep in about 30 seconds. i loved having her so close to me while she slept, yet having my hands free to do exciting things...like dishes :) it also reminded me of being pregnant a little bit. all that weight hanging off your front. ha. i think we'll get a lot of use out of the moby!
