RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
No,no, no...I wasn't saying you were deliberately misleading people, seriously, that wasn't my intention. Please don't think that's what I was saying.
I just meant to say that I hear it being touted as the advantage, and it's not an accurate description. I don't know where the info that it would be cooler is originating from, I'm just saying that I think it's not an accurate claim, and there is a sound basis to make that claim upon. I'm not a fabricologist, as I have said before, but in reading up on the properties of both fabrics, there is a problem with stating that the properties of hemp fleece make it a cooler fabric than polyester fleece, wherever it's coming from.
I definitely am not trying to start a pouch debate. I stand very firm on my opinion on that, and everyone knows it.... ;-) The best pouch for a person is one where it all comes together for the wearer and the baby.
I'm just on more of my facts tracker thing here, not debating which is a better idea.... ;-)
RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
For everyone who asked about HEMP IN HOT WEATHER...I find it much cooler than fleece. I love my M&MC pouch i will post pictures once i send them to Jen. She was amazing i got the pouch with all the powers..LOL backrail and extra snaps cause of the weight loss and it FITS great..For the first time i feel i can carry my son and i dont get sore and i dont get HOT!!! I got the periwinkle with the marigold trim and its absolutely gorgeous....IM NOW HOOKED ON POUCHES..LOL Im looking into the cozy now as well....
Like i really needed another thing to get hooked on..LOL
RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
Linda, you are awesome!!! Makes me feel so much better. I think mine should be in the mail soon. I also bought some microfleece from Joann's on sale to make the pouch the "right" way. I made all mine till now stretch lengthwise instead of widthwise.
I also am getting a couple of custom made ring slings from Rev. Jan. I know it is risky to get a couple when I don't even know if I'd like ring slings, but I just love pouches. I would think I would fall in love with these also.
If I like these, I am already planning on getting a solarveil, cotton interlocks, maybe a zolo, and maybe an ergo. Of course, I haven't told my husband yet! * chuckle*
Please do post some pics!!

RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
What are you talking about! You look great! And Ari is such a cutie!!! And that sling is just to die for! What beautiful colors! I have to say thats one thing that gets me about polarfleece slings, I'm just not that excited about any of the colors....
RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
What an adorable picture! All 3 of you look great (you, baby, and pouch). I love the color.
RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
That's awesome! I love that you aren't dressed up. I always wear overalls too! :) What size did you get, and, if you don't mind, what are your measurements?
RE: Beth i love you but...
Linda, you don't look like crap, and Ari is getting cuter and cuter!
Oh, yes, I hear the periwinkle calling!! But I have a pouch on the way that I got from Zen, so gotta try that first. I did use my M&MC pouch the other day and thought that it would be nice to have the new design with the slimmer shoulder... in periwinkle...
RE: I got my Mom and Me!!!
Do you find it hard to keep the silk nice looking?
