I'm trying to decide on a sling/carrier to take to China with me to pick up Mia. DH will be using the Sara's Ride-like hip carrier from One Step Ahead but I'd really like something in cotton. We also will have a hotsling for my 15-year old son to use when we get back from the trip to China - he chose the fabric himself.
I'm 5'7", wear a size 24 and a DD cup - not a little thing by any stretch of the imagination! I also have tendonitis in my left shoulder and holding a baby on my hip or in my arms for more than 15 minutes does me in. Add to that I'm always hot and live in Myrtle Beach, SC and I'm so afraid I'm going to absolutely roast wearing a baby, but the bonding is going to be SOOOOO important with our little girl.
Mia will most likely be somewhere between 8 and 14 months old and *probably* petite, though she could be more American in size.
I was planning an unpadded Kangaroo Korner sling, but I keep coming back to the Girasol/Didy/Ellaroo wraps. They're SO gorgeous!
I've read the Ellaroo is lighterweight than the others and the Christiane is my all-time favorite fabric.
Money is VERY tight with the adoption process having sped up by about 6 months I really can't afford to make a big mistake with this sling.
HELP! :)
