Hi all,

this is probably my first time in English-speaking forum, so I am a little nervous. please, forgive my mistakes. I am originally from Russia.

I came here in search for help what kind of carrier to buy and maybe find help on how to use it.

My daughter is 1.5 months. I already have a sling, but it does not seem to work very well for us - the material is so  thick (strong) - it would not slide through the rings very well and I almost can not adjust it.

I was thinking to buy something like EllaRoo Wraparound Baby Carrier http://ellaroo.com/wraparound-carrier.php, but I wanted to find out 1)other people's opinions 2) will I be able to get help on how to wear (I might have some videos downloaded long time ago on this kind of carriers), if I can find someone in person to teach me it woluld be great 3) where to buy and price - I am guessing that it is pretty expensive compare to the one I have - it was $20 including shipment from Ukraine + I gave $2 tip just in case.

Should I create new topic in General Babywearing Chat with these questions?

Thank you.

:) Спасибо :). Я думаю что пока не буду спрашивать - я уже решила заказывать Сторч - более того, я его заказала с какого-то сайта, но мне емайла-подтверждения так и не пришло - подожду ещё чуть-чуть (может так прийдёт, может позвоню им ещё раз) и закажу в другом месте. А потом уже буду спрашивать вопросы про как носить :). Я там ещё двд заказываю - учиться по нему буду.

Это поди не культурно разговаривать по-русски на англо-язычном форуме. Легче, конечно, но не культурно. Предлагаю этими двумя месагами ограничиться :). Ведь их все могут видеть, так? Они ведь не личные.

Спасибо за ответ!

ну вот, только пожаловалась - пришёл емайл что 1го числа отправлено, 8 должно прийти

Glad you got a Storch....I LOVE mine.    You must show us pictures when you get it!!

BTW, I don't speak Russian....(I wish!) I ran my greeting to you through the AltaVista translator, so anyone here can read all of our text that way (try it guys...it's fun!):

Your English is WONDERFUL, though!

Oh! That's what it is! That is why your Russian looked so funny. When I put my message in Russian in that translator, it looked even more funnier in English That translator is a great thing, although it does not translate everything perfectly! Thanks!

As I was saying in my previous msg, I just got an e-mail that package was sent July 1st and will probably be here on 8th. I ordered Inka 4.6 and DVD.

I was thinking about our new sling all weekend - I want it so much - I want to carry my baby, but she is heavy and I can hardly do anything esle if she is not in sling. I can use my other sling, but it is not very comfortable, so I was hoping that the new one would be better (after I learn how to use it, ofcourse). Finally, it looks like we forgot our old one at my parents' house yestarday :(.

I was able to understand everything that you wrote to me so far. But there are some abbreviations people use in English-speaking-internet that I do not understand. You call you kids (and husbands?) something like dd or dh or ds - what are these short for?

Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

The link is very useful - I will try to learn how to use the "web jargon"

I will ask questions if I have them when sling comes - thanks!

My family thinks I am crazy, but I do hope that I will have happy hours of wearing my baby :)

Thanks! Well, my daughter is definitely dear , so I can call here dd too , as well as my husband is dh

About photos - I read some messages here about uploading photos here, but still have not figured out where is that link to edit my album.

I have almost no sling photos (since we have only one sling and not using it as much as you all do with yours). Little amount of our photos is here
