Boob Blockers
No this is not something bad or wrong it is the name for a nursing shawl. While I was going through my maternity stage, I saw for the first time a nursing shawl that made it so you can see your baby while you nurse. I immediately wanted one for myself. So I set out to buy one, only to find that they were at least $35. What? I said to myself. But I was in need of one for the weekend. I ended up spending the $35 and buying it. I absolute loved it and don't regret buying it.
However after looking over it with my very talented mother, we figured out how to make our own. A few friends of mine are now pregnant and so I decided to create my own version to give them as gifts. For only a half a days work and a few $ less we finished our first one. It looks really good, if I do say so myself!

The "WRAP"
Again I have been looking at baby carriers. I am trying to find something that I can wear, hold the baby, get stuff done and not have my back hurt(to much). So I looked around and found a interesting contraption on eBay. It was $35 on one website and $45 on another. WOW! So, me being me and thinking "I can make this" I googled it and found the official website for this "wrap" like carrier. Then I spend a good half day or more searching the Internet to figure out how to make one. It ended up being a lot easier then I originally planned.
Obviously I have one now(see pic). Needless to say it didn't cost me nearly as much as they were asking for on those website. Got to love saving money! I even found a great website that shows you with pictures how to wrap up the baby, www.wearyourbaby.com is a good source. I also looked on YouTube and found some good videos showing the different ways to wrap.
