We had a k'tan last time. My husband actually liked it a lot, I preferred an ergo. I always felt a little unsure that baby was in there properly, but I probably could've used more practice.

All this carrier talk has me wanting a new carrier. I was checking out the Ergo 360, but I donāt really NEED another carrier. I also am looking at Tula and Lillebaby. I have an older ergo and it feels bulky. I like that the 360 lets you cross the straps in the back. Hereās how the conversation with H goes:
Me: I want to get this new baby carrier. H: $170 seems really expensive for a baby carrier. Me: Your childās comfort and safety isnāt worth $170 to you??
At the end of the day, he knows Iām going to get it if I really want it š¬

jacks, love, love love my lillebaby. Especially since it has back lumbar support. Are there different styles? Maybe I need to switch back to researching Lillebaby...

There's someone on my local moms group selling a Twin Weego for $90 that I am considering. I was thinking how nice it'd be when I walk to go pickup DD from preschool. There are stairs in the building and I was just trying to think of how I would do it with a double stroller. Take out both car seat carriers and bring them to her class door? Leave the stroller frame outside?
We also have 7 steps or so up to our front door.
This is convincing me I should pull the trigger. It'd be great to pop them in a carrier and just walk down the block.

grover I like the Lillebaby Complete AND theyāre having a sale through Thursday for a free doll carrier, which is what I was going to get D1 for her birthday..... Maybe I shouldnāt have told H how much my Target registry completion cart total was.

Eames, pull the trigger. Then you can let me know if you love it or not. If not, I can buy it off of you anyway LOL Or, do you know if there are any twin groups your way? The one I joined has a rental library of twin and single carriers, plus they set up a meal train for new twin moms (it is $35/year to join, but they have a special going on right now. Just not sure if this one is too far of a hike for you.)

grover I am just in the local moms group for my town and then one other that's the entire metro area for multiples. These are both on FB. The multiples one has a buy/sell page too that I like! Let me know if you want the name to join. ( grover and I discovered that we live in suburbs maybe 40 minutes away from each other last night, which is totally cool!) ETA let me know if you want me to delete that.

jacks I have the ergo 360 and I think it is still bulky if you are Looking for something lighter. I havenāt tried any other carriers but the other ones you mentioned look less bulky, I have been looking at carriers too. My husband likes the 360 it but Iām short and it is a bit much for me.

Had a BPP and OB appointment today. Boys look good, move more than any twins either ultrasound tech has seen for their size. Approx just over and just under 7 pounds each. Docs don't think I'll go early, so three weeks from today I'll meet them!

I had my 35 week ob check up yesterday. Baby is head down. and i am 2cm dialated 70% effaced already. I am sure I will be walking around pregnant for a while but knowing my body is making progress already has kicked my mindset from... omg this pregnancy is lasting forever to this baby will be here soon so I probably should quit procrastinating and get everything ready.

I got the used Twin Weego today. I'm excited to try it. It only goes up to a combined weight of 30 or 35 pounds, but I think it will be handy. Plus I can always sell it in 4-6 months to the next mom! Looks like this. Maybe I'll have my husband wear it, I've done all the carrying so far! ššš

Eames, any idea of how little they can be to start wearing them in that? I'm a little annoyed because the "MealS for MoMs" program is only one meal unlike advertised, so I may take advantage of the carrier library now to make most of my membership.

grover, it says that even premature babies as small as 4 lbs can go in it. I need to research/read the directions because that just seems sooo little.
