I'm excited. I was so ready to order the KK pouch, but the lack of padded rails kind of deterred me. I know there is debate over whether the MNM is actually cooler or not, but I figure it is worth a shot. I know if I get a KK, I'll definitely need a 2nd sling (at least LOL!) for warmer weather. With the MNM, maybe we can sneak by with just that one. (I live in PA, so cold winters and pretty hot summers). I decided that I like the colors on the MNM a little better too.
I chose the Maroon pouch with a flat silver color trim. I had a hard time deciding on a color, but I think I'll like the Maroon.
Jen was absolutely wonderful, just as everyone said...she was so helpful emailing back and forth w/ me. I wasn't sure about a size (I was also having this problem when I thought I was going to order a KK pouch) but she was a great help. I'm 5'2" and prepregnancy about 118lbs, so she recommended we do a custom sized xsmall/small and I went ahead and ordered extra snaps to give me more flexibility size-wise. I also got the rails added. I hope it fits. Her customer service was fabulous. I feel like she really really enjoys what she does and that every order is meaningful for her.
So....I'm glad to have finally made a decision. I just hope I like the color, etc. when it arrives.
Oh, and this is the best part yet....I was all excited about ordering last night, and DH said..."hmmmmm.....maybe I should think about a sling." I was so surprised and happy!!! I didn't want to pressure him into baby wearing, although I know he understands the benefits. I put a baby bjorn on our registry (even though we might end up hating it) for him originally, but maybe I'll remove it now if he's thinking he might like a sling for himself. Yea!!!! :)
Thanks for letting me share girls!
