I am a bit frustrated at the time it took (2 months!!)…
I e-mailed to ask about it a few weeks after I ordered it and they said that they had sent it a while before and it might have gotten lost in the mail… but she still had some of the material left… so they would make another… BUT they didn‘t have anymore of the other material that I asked for so asked if I could choose another…
A few days later I got the confirmation that they sent it (which I had not gotten before) and when I got it yesterday they had included the leftover material so really… they had lied that they had sent it before…
I am also pretty sure that I didn’t get the longer straps that I had asked for… but since I don’t know how long the straps are usually I don’t know yet… I e-mailed again today and I was asked to measure them but I haven’t gotten a response yet…
Here it is though, and though I am not too happy about the Customer Service right now, the carrier itself is gorgeous!!!!

On Tuesday I went to a LLL meeting and I was so upset when I realized half way there while on the highway that I had forgotten my ER wrap… I felt so naked and panicked a bit about how I was going to wear Khéna.. I had a Maman Kangourou stretchy with me but the stretch isn't working well anymore with him and the Maman Kangourou is also too narrow for my liking… then I remembered that I had a scarf/shawl on me and I made a makeshift sling out of that, It worked out really well but I really missed my wrap the whole time….
The meeting was OK… a weird lady came in that had weight gain issues with her dd… at 5 1/2 months she was only about 10 lbs… she then talked about scheduled feeding and 12 hour nights and that she didn't want to change that because she had worked hard to get it that way….
I think we all heard crickets chirping and jaws hit the floor.. How can someone be so ignorant!!!!It is already bad enough to do that with a healthy child, but to schedule a babies feedings and make CIO a child that has serious weight gain concerns? That is abuse IMO… After the meeting she then talked to someone about Babywise.. gladly we pointed out how evil BW was and how warnings about the book have been put out because of babies failing to thrive because of the devil called "Ezzo"…. I really can't understand how people can actually think that that is an acceptable way of Parenting and don't realize how cruel it is… I mean you don't have be AP… but CIO, scheduled feedings etc are an abuse of power… kids are not objects….
On lighter note… after the meeting I commented to another mom there how much I loved her Baby wearing coat… we started talking quickly about the babywearer forums and she asked who I was there… I said Paxye and she was surprised and said "you're paxye!.. THE paxye!" I was so embarrased lol… I forget at times that people read my blog and "know"who I am…. what is fun though is that she e-mailed me later on to get together one day.. Hopefully that can be soon…

I went to the CLSC today to give information of Babywearing to the Nurses Committee… It was cool… I was a bit nervous but they were a great bunch and really made me fell good about being there… It was fun cause they were all ears, full of questions and loved every minute of it..
every single one of the nurses there was completely in awe with the carriers… there wasn’t even one that talked about anything negative… It was really great… All of the nurses are incolved with new moms on a daily basis so I really have my foot in the door now in the community…
I printed up some sheets on the Advantages of babywearing and gave them all a copy and I was even asked if they could pass along copies to moms so I know that I am going to get more calls soon..
What was really cool was that I told them of how I started babywearing, how much I love it and the primary reason that I want to share is because it is something that means so much to me… When one of the nurses asked where to buy them I then told them that I was the one that sells them in the region… and they all wanted to get my contact…
So each nurse is now armed with a buisness card, info on why mom’s should wear their babies and with a basic knowledge of the different kids of carriers… (pouch, wrap, sling)
I was also asked last week about presenting babywearing to a group of soon-to-be new moms at the Carrefour on Thursday… and I met the nurse that I will be doing that with…
_____
On another note… I have been demonstrating with my Ellaroo and my Maya wrap lately… though I was only selling Maman Kangouroo stuff… However, so many moms love my ellaroo and my Maya wrap and asked about getting them…
A while back I got info about selling Ellaroo and finally got back in touch with the company… They now distribute a few Traditional carriers so I if I deal with them I can get my Maman Kangouroo wraps, slings and pouches, Maya wrap sling and pouch and Ellaroo wraps all from the same place from inside Quebec… so no border fees or exchange…
So I am now offering all three companies….
I am getting excited…. this is finally starting to really take off…

Now I need 4! Yahoo!!!
I just got a call from a soon to be new mom asking about prices and I told her about the class that I am going to be giving and she said that it sounds great and that she is going to call to give her name…
I am getting really excited about this… I have only sold one to date but I think that the word will soon get out more and the more people that use them in public the more that people will want one… We don’t have a big town and everyone startes and asks questions about them when we are out so I know that people are interested….

I made my first Order on Monday and got it today and I put adds up
everywhere yesterday… Of course in my order I needed to add things for myself
so that I can know the product… So I got my first stretchy wrap and my first
pouch and I love them!!! YEAH.. Colin’s feet will never hit the ground again
LOL!!!!
So now I have in my Baby wearing Library..
Ellaroo Wrap
Maya Wrap (ring sling)
2 homemade ring slings
2 Pouches (one cotton, one fleece)
1 Stretchy Wrap
2 homemade cotton wraps
Deuter Kid Comfort II (Frame BackPack)
The only problem is that Colin is starting to get bigger (he’ll be a year next
week) so I guess I’ll have to make another Baby to keep on wearing 
LOL

The Pre-natal went pretty well last night… there where 5 couples that where all ears but one couple in particular…
When asked at the beginning if they where wanting to breastfeed this couple said that yes they would but would like to express to have daddy have a chance to have that bond too… So I made a point of explaining all of the things that Daddy can so even if he doesn’t nurse… (skin to skin, walking, burping, cuddling, bathing) and it seemed to make sense to him… The whole time I was talking this guy had a big smile and was nodding… During the break they told me that they have read a lot of breastfeeding and that all the things they have read where confirmed and they learned many more things… I told them that if they want to succeed they have to go into it saying that they are going to do it… and told them how when I was pregnant I decided that nothing was going to stop me from breastfeeding and I wouldn’t let myself be set up for any disaster so all bottles and samples where thrown out of the house… When I said that A light lit up in this guys face, and right away he said that that was such a great idea… that having samples around just`makes it so much easier for then to be used and for something to hinder the breastfeeding relationship… and that if you have to go out and get Formula you might think about it a bit more… (I really think that the samples they have are going to be leaving the house LOL)
Another thing they asked me about was Vit D… I told them that I have never given Vit D and that it depends on the school of thought… Though the Canadian Paediatric Society recomeds it… the actual fact is that it is a blanket recommendation that really doesn’t have too much weight especially in a fair skinned child born in the summer..
Another cool thing that happened was that the nurse asked me if I had brought my wrap and Sling because she really wanted to show it off and show off the way I wear my baby…. I told her that I have been thinking about giving some classes a the “Carrefour†and she thought it was a great idea and is going to talk to her boss about me being the “official†resource is the region… She even told me that she has gotten a few questions about babywering from people that have seen me in Public and she knew they where talking about me because they described my Ellaroo!
I am still waiting for the answer from “Maman Kangourou†but I am pretty sure to become a retailer and that way I can teach and sell…
