Close family friend is pregnant

[conuly]

Again :)

After carefully confirming that I was supposed to congratulate and not commiserate (you NEVER want to mix those two up!) I realized - hey! I can get her a mei-tai!

And I will. AND a ring sling. Da da da da da! (This is seriously pathetic, guys, but now that Evangeline's so big I'm missing having a little snuggly baby to carry around. I may have to cadge me some babysitting time (hey, she'll pay me) so I can snugglewear a little cutiepie!)

By the time this little one's born, her older kids will be in the third grade and in kindergarten. Should I get toy slings for them as well?

[Poll #1418435]

I'd get her a wrap as well, but I'm not so sure that she'll bother learning to use one. But a sling - yes! She gave Jenn her first (crappy) ring sling, after all.

I don't believe there is any better feeling then having a small baby slug to your body.(the mei-tai is my personal favorite, I'll still sling my 4 year old in it, though I haven't in a while, where is that kid....)

Hmmm... having had little experience with young children, I can't really answer this one, sorry. =( Sounds adorable, though. :3

If your niecelings are baby-doll fans, by all means get them doll slings. If they don't (or one doesn't), then you can maybe get ideas about other appropriate "we haven't forgotten you in favor of the new one" gifts.

It's not the nieces! It's somebody else's kids.

Ahhh, I see...oops! *slinks away, sentiment still stands*

Yeah, I don't have to worry about cadging babysitting time with Jenn's kids. Yea, verily, it's almost an embarrassment of riches :)

I barely remember Seth as that small. :-O
