Yay! Glad you got a good nap out of him in the end.
Yup, a babywearing coat! It's awesome. Especially since I got it off of CL so I didn't pay full price! Check it out:
http://www.suseskinder.com/apps/webstore/products/show/341743. I tried it out yesterday doing errands with DS and it was great! He was so warm and cozy in there. So much warmer and easier than the stroller!
I got the Boba right off their website in the end. I usually hate paying retail for anything (
) but it's pretty new so I couldn't find one used. I used the coupon code mommy-daddy (I think but I can find out for sure if you want) and saved 10%. It'll be here next week so I can give a full review of it then!

And that's where we are! I was wondering in the middle of the night if I'm becoming a prop. I've stopped shh/patting since it bugs him and when he's upset I put my hand on his legs so he can't kick like a mad man and shhh until he calms/sleeps. But I think I'll try to reduce that since maybe I'm becoming a prop? Maybe that's part of these NW? I also wonder sometimes if he's waking from hunger but I just can't believe that he is hungry at 2:30 after eating at 10:30! I think I need to stick with no night feeds. It was tough when I first dropped the 2:30 feed but then it was ok and he was sleeping 6h or so but then I tried to wean the swaddle (but I bailed on that since it was disastrous) and now we've regressed. Fun! And I'm not sure where to go from here with that.
Melinda, do you WOHM PT or FT? I'm going back in July and trying to figure out what to do about Austin since I saw a daycare last week and it made me really bummed. Thinking I might just go for a nanny since he's so young maybe he won't really get the benefits of socialization, etc yet?
