Down the Rabbit Hole

I recently sold a whole bunch of stuff - to fund a new woven wrap. I swore I wouldn't become involved with this obsession. I just knew if I started, I would fall deep into the rabbit hole. I resisted for a few months, watching the other moms in my babywearing group wrap their littles with their gorgeous wovens. I said to myself, "I'm an SSC girl.  I have no patience for wovens."

I had purchased a jersey wrap (Gypsymama Hybrid Stretch) when I was pregnant with V, but it wasn't for me. It only came in one size and was very long for me. I tried it a few times when V was a squish, but couldn't get into it. Then, at our October meeting I became inspired to try again, and pulled out that crazy long wrap. And I just loved the squishy close cuddles I got. Sigh. I was hooked.

I remembered some of the moms talking about a sale on Pavo Hearts. Sale? I can't resist sale. It was a seconds sale, but I didn't care. As long as it was safe and functional. So onto the Pavo site I went, and a few minutes later, my first woven was ordered. I waited [not so] patiently for my fluff to arrive. And a few days later... love...

I immediately knew I needed another. I had fallen. Hard. A few weeks later, and I am awaiting two more wraps. One was supposed to arrive today.
I was nursing baby V so she would nap and heard a knock on the door. Damn, the mail was early! I hoped he'd leave it on the doorstep, but signature required.
Which means I'll be at the post office at 9am on the dot tomorrow.
