Carrying Amanda in the sling is convenient and cozy, the easiest way to be hands-free while keeping her happy, and I love the way she buries her sleepy face against my chest and lets her whole body go limp like jello. But she gets heavy and cumbersome after awhile, too, making my back and neck ache. The last time I went to MOPS I ended up standing the entire time, bending over the table to do a craft project with one hand while supporting her head with the other, because she cried every time I tried to sit down. I guess she wanted that constant swaying motion. Not exactly the "mommy break" it was supposed to be. Amanda just gets upset a lot more easily than Eva did, so that takes some getting used to. At least Eva was able to stay in childcare without having a meltdown this time, so I got to enjoy the MOPS meeting, even with the added challenge of carrying Amanda the whole time.
