We’re not quite home, but almost! We leave Atlanta this afternoon, on a plane bound for San Antonio. As fun as this trip has been (and there will be more details and lots of photos from our time in Tennessee!), I am SO ready to be home. So ready.
I just wanted to quickly post about something, that I believe, deserves it’s own post!
While in Austin a few weeks back, I borrowed Lisa’s ERGObaby carrier. All I can say is that I’m in love. Seriously, I don’t ever want to give it back, but I know I have to.
My point is to let you know about this wonderful carrier. If you have a baby, you should most definiltey have one. If you have a toddler, you should have one.
I’ve worn Mia almost the enitre time we’ve been on vacation. The airport would not have been possible without it. Seriously. With BJ, 2 suitcases, and a backpack, I don’t know how I would have made it.
Countless strangers have commented on the obvious benefits of having my daughter securely attached to my chest or back. I don’t think we could have even dreamed about doing the Atlanta Aquarium without the Ergo. There is no way I could have kept up with her if she had been on foot, and strollers were just not feasible because of the insane crowds. There is no way I would have felt as safe as I did if she had not been right there with me.
Also, it was so nice to be so close to her, so much of the time. I truly got to experience every new site and sound through her eyes. That, my friends, was priceless.
Also, my back does not hurt, nor did it ever hurt when using the ERGO. No Motrin needed, promise. And, there is a handy pocket on the front that fits my wallet, keys, AND Blackberry. Seriously. I might not give it back to Lisa. Shhhhh. Don’t tell her.
So tell me, if you wear a baby (Steph, I’m talking to you!), is it worth it to buy an ERGObaby carrier now? Mia is approaching 2, and I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to wear her, or how long she’ll want to be worn. Does anyone have a gently used one they want to sell?
More on the Tennessee leg of our trip after we get home and sleep for 285 years.
