Ah, yes. I have seen those. Unfortunately, my boob is still to saggy and heavy for her to nurse hands-free. The newborn position would have wound up with a dead baby for me and then she isn't quite able to hold it up on her own yet. Soon, though! Thanks, BB!

I'm going to attempt to sew a "Mei Tei!" I'm so excited but scared at the same time! Here is what the finished product is *upposed* to look like thosemartins.com/bmt/gallery.htm . Here are the instructions. thosemartins.com/bmt/index.htm . Mine is a verigated (spelling?) blue with creamy yellow and creamy white stripes. I'll post a pic *if* it turns out nicely! I may give it away as a baby shower present...or I may keep it! LOL!

holy cripes!!! Now I know whyyyyyyy Mei Teis are sooooo freakin' expensive! I got the canvass on sale for a total cost of $15.00. HOWEVVVVVVVVVER, I've been working on the thing for more than 10 hourssssssssssssss now!!!! I still have about an hour left, I'm guessing, too! This SOOOO better be worth it!

Okay. So, more than another hour has passed, and I'm stilllllllll working on it! I've taken two 15-min nursing breaks in the past 5 hours. The good news is that the carrier is turning out great, and it's totally going to be worth it!

You're a dork. Lol. But I think you should totally go into business when you get the chance. Especially where you live. . . you can make a mint!! And if you were really up at 3:15 in the morning, I think you need to GO TO BED! Geez super woman! lol.

Yah. Everyone babywears here. I'm just scared of getting sued if someone doesn't tie the baby in right and has an accident. I will just make them for friends for now. I can't wait to post a pic. It's sooo cute!

There has to be a warning or something on a tag in the fabric...that way you cant be held accountable for someone elses stupidness!!

yes. but they really never win. as long as you put a disclaimer ... there really isnt much anyone can do. they can *try* to sue you, but unless they can prove that the child fell out because of a defect...theyll lose. and even then, the lawsuit will be 'ify'! i had fun in my law class and people sue god. its a terrible silly world we live in.

um. i rarely see people babywear here. when they do babywear its not usually with anything that looks or is comfy for baby and mom. its that baby bjorn whatever the heck its called crap. i havent met any here who is really into attachment parenting. not in orlando anyway.
and im not allowed to have children ive decided. i closed the door on one of the cats this afternoon and locked her in the laundry room. i heard her crying hwen i got home a bit ago and though she was meowing for food so i kept telling her to stop. when i discovered that she wasnt in the kitchen i opened the door to the laundry room and she came running out. I FEEL HORRIBLE! and i told her im sorry and that this cant go past her and i...cause if my bf finds out...oh my god, ill get it.

Tess!!!! You poor thing! One time we accidentally shut our cat in the attic for 2 days! We kept hearing the meow but couldn't figure out it was above our heads! LOL!
The Mei Tai came out grrrrrrrrrreat! I need to take some pics. I took some tonight with my husband wearing her, but they came out blurry and the dork was crossing his eyes! Pissed me off! She was smiling and so happy in her Mei Tai, and of course, numb nut had to go and screw up the picture by crossing his eyes!!!! In all 4 pics I took!
