Sometimes, though, the actual baby carrier can make the difference. Maybe another kind of baby carrier, like a heavy-duty one that's used for hiking, would give you the support you need to carry Gwen around without feeling like you're straining yourself as much.

My Mei Tai is a BabyHawk. I got it on the babywearer forums, although with everything it went through, I ended up paying more for it used than I would have to just have bought it new. I LOOOOOOOOOVE it. It's so easy to put her on my back! *cough* Get pregnant! *cough* LOL The good thing is that we’ve got until the end of February to enjoy Gwen and by then, she won’t really be a baby anymore!

Please don't feel guilty about not being able to wear Gwen as long as you'd like. You know, I didn't get to breastfeed Gwen as long as I would have liked, either. Sometimes, our bodies have very different plans from what our hearts and minds might intend. We can't beat ourselves up about stuff like that. We are great mommies despite our limitations - it's our hearts and souls that make us so, not our (sometimes traitorous) bodies. Oh, Kim, you’re the best!
