babywearing hiatus

i realized lately that i rarely babywear anymore. my 'wearee' has decided on her own that she's too big to be carried around by her mommy and prefer to don her lighted-up sneakers and prance around the house in it T_T. heck she's more interested in shoes these days. she'd go through Ashu and her grandma's shoe collection every time she stays at my parent's place. according to my mom, kecik2 sudah tere pakai terompah ok (my mom's toilet slippers). sometimes she even demands to trade shoes with her just so that she gets to wear my crocs T_T (lepas tu mommy nak pakai kasut apa???).

i rarely stalk tbw these days too, despite the exchange rate dropping at the moment (good time to buy?). it's either because the new baby hormones is still in effect (emiza has gotten the bug too, i rarely see her around online these days) or because i don't have anyone to wear. lol. i guess it's a good thing. i save money in the process (my aim: to cut another credit card into pieces!!!). but i simply haven't come across anything i like. oh i still have a teeny wishlist though =P but i haven't lost sleep over it, so i guess that's ok for now (although i totally love far's silk rs stash and i'd keep wishing to come across a silk eesti rs but so far no avail).

i kept hoarding wraps at first. biasela me, collector by nature =P or you could say rambang mata and tak ingat dunia when you get your hands on a mouse and start clicking away. my first actual utilization of a wrap was during my Singapore trip. oh you have got to love silk indios. if you're on a tight budget, a silky is the way to go (in my opinion lah). adjusting and readjusting the rings of my rs in a hurry was starting to feel like a hassle that time. and found out that that was the only wrap i should've owned. so i let go of some of the ones in my closet =P (btw, i have a cgw for sale. anyone interested?).

i'm not into SSCs because i prefer trying it out first before buying. you know how small mamas have trouble buying outfits that fit you well, be it dresses or lingerie (lol). you can imagine how stressed i was when i saw this lovely 4th Gen Pink Paisley Beco on Espresso straps on tbw one time, i love love the print but i've tried a 4th Gen irl and we just didn't click =(. o&a is out of the question too (for petite mamas so they say, i have yet to try though haha). but i actually do own one SSC, because i love love the print and because farrah had an excellent review on it and i trust her reviews =D. but i have yet to use it. hahahah. saiko tak. baik tak payah beli kan? oh well. until now i haven't bought syaz's Orbit, despite loving its perfect fit. perhaps in the near future when there are more patterns to choose from. i'm hoping for a pink paisley lookalike! lol.

i haven't been too noisy on mbw too. i just dunno what to nyampuk these days. more and more new members are joining in. i guess they're the ones taking over the hype now. it's fun to read up on how crazy one can get over carriers. reminds me of ME when i first ventured into babywearing. point to remember: never say that you'd never try something, because those words will end up being total rubbish. kekekeke.

so, like elly, am i temporary done with bbwearing? (your entry inspired me to muse on what i should do with all the carriers that i have, since they're strewn all over. keep? sell?)

i wonder what i'll go nuts about once baby #2 arrives. i guess this baby will receive most hand-me-downs from Dayana - toys, beddings, feeding utensils, clothing - depending on the gender, everything lah. hehe. for mommies with >1 child, what stuff did you buy for the next baby? what stuff did u reuse?

i better go to sleep now. tomorrow got to pick up my car. i spent a bomb for its major service. and i haven't even renewed my road tax yet. grrrr. this is the last time i service my car at its origin center. and i also have a Dr's appointment to go to. wish me luck...
