Yay, you finally have L! She looks almost as big, or bigger even, than S! Your poor arms. Try a mei tai - I love our mei tai. It distributes her weight, your arms get a break, and the best part is you get to smell her hair and look into her eyes b/c she's right there against your heart. It gets better, I'm sure of it.

You poor things! I am thinking of you all and sending soothing thoughts. I teared up a little when you wrote about M being such a good sister right away. Oh wow. You poor things!

Baby Bjorn Active has a back support - I'm a weakling and this worked really well at that size. You can basically let go so it shifts everything to hips and back. We were advised to sing to the baby a lot, anything soft and soothing in a soft voice. That helped too though my throat was sore from singing nonstop. Actually it sounds as if she is attaching really well to have such strong feelings so soon - so in a sort of backwards way, really it is probably good........
