moby-vinny wrap

we just got a moby wrap in the mail. it's the type of baby-wearing carrier we'll use when baby mothra is first born. here's a picture of my very very first attempt to follow the directions of wrapping it into form, and vinny is trying it out. it held him pretty securely, but i obviously did an AWFUL job of wrapping it, and need to practice a lot to improve my technique (and time!) before junior arrives. and having a big baby belly makes it that much more awkward. it's a really really long piece of fabric, and i really wanted to get one in a burnt orange color, but i figured this sand color would show less cat hair & spit up & whatever else. it'll be handy for shopping outings, but clearly i'll need to wrap it all up around me before leaving the house, as getting that thing on in the car or outside in the rain would be really frustrating. don't worry - baby mothra will be slipped in on-site AFTER riding in the car in the car seat. we also have a mei-tai for when the monster gets a bit older, which has three different changeable panels.
