EC wise, today was great! I noticed today that she is telling me she needs to potty by giving a little fuss and then waits for me to put her on the potty. It's like she is saying, "Hey mom, i need to potty." Then gives me time to put her on the pot then she goes immediately! And sometime I don't get her on that quickly if I am busy but she still waits. Before it was more of a, "Hey I am about to pee"...couple of seconds later she is peeing. I only missed one pee today!!! And I caught the poop explosion! Woo Hoo! Very Exciting! And the pee that I missed she was totally telling me but I wasn't paying attention until I felt her wetness! I might be able to ditch the diapers even sooner than I thought.
The hard part of my day was trying to still figure out the back carrying. I tried a different kind of hold today but still had issues and then I just got really frustrated. You know that frustration where you either want to throw the object that won't work or cry, or both? I had both! (I didn't want to throw Sammy! I wanted to throw the wrap) I was so upset and I even got upset with Sammy for trying to wriggle around. So I stopped, laid her down and went to do dishes alone so I could cool off. Then I came back and apologized to Sammy for my frustration. It threw me off the rest of the day because I was just so bummed about not being able to get her on comfortably for the both of us. I know that I just have to keep practicing and eventually it will become second nature, just like breastfeeding. I just can't wait for that time. Thankfully a wonderful lady from http://wrapyourbaby.com/ gave me some advice about wrapping and the width of my wrap. I made mine myself by just buying 6 yards of Muslin Cotton and dying it purple. The original website that I was going off of said 45 in wide would be good, but I noticed that from videos no one else's wraps are that wide! So tonight I am going to trim down my wrap and see if that will help us. I'll let you know how it goes!
