It's a Baby Not a Third Head!

Well I did it. Yesterday I ventured out on my own with the two kiddies! It wasn't a big, fun filled outing just needed a few things from my least favorite store in the world (rhymes with Small-Part) and the food store. I would have much rather gone to target for my few odds and ends but the trek is twice the distance and to be honest I wasn't that adventurous. Sure I could have waited until Justin got home and flown solo but I'm super mom and can do anything. Right????
Anyway I planned it all out. Stella would go in my Sleepy Wrap so germy busy bodies couldn't get close and Madison would go in the shopping cart so I wasn't chasing after her. Three hours after starting to get dressed (no make up included) we were ready!
The girls were awesome but I might as well have been a green and purple spotted dinosaur walking through the store for as many looks and comments that I got for having a baby strapped to my chest! I expected some double takes after all I live on the east coast where babywearing is just starting to become ummm accepted??? So here are just a few of the comments I got. . .

• "You know Koreans wear babies like that"
• "OMG you have a baby in there!?"
• "What is that thing?"

and my personal favorite from a 90 year old busy body....

"You are lucky DYFS isn't around! You are suffocating that baby. It is child abuse!"

I also learned that the wraps does not keep intruders out but rather attracts them! There were a few people (no doubt pregnant belly rubbers) who even thought I would be okay with them touching my sleeping angel through the wrap. One even tried to pull the cover off her head to sneak a peak! Oh well I guess that is what you get for shopping at let's say "Small Part" in a less than affluent area filled to the brim with grannies! I fully intend on continuing to wear my baby in public, I'll just be a little more particular about where I go!
