Well, I sent DH out to go buy me both a carrier and a sling today. I'm
not sure which one Quinn will prefer so that's why I'm going with both.
I can't get Quinn to lay down by himself and sleep during the day for
the most part though he'll sleep if he's laying on my chest or if I'm
holding him. He seems to lie down in his crib a little better at night.
If I try and let him go to sleep by himself he'll cry inconsolably for
as long as I let him lie there. That's not conducive to having time or
mobility to do laundry, wash dishes, wash bottles, fix lunch, pump
breast milk, etc. SO, we're going to try this out. I'm about ready to
go bonkers if I don't get a little more mobility back and am getting a
little desperate so lets just pray that this works out for the both of
us. I think we're going to try the most inexpensive items to start out
with and work our way up if need be. We're starting out with a Snugli
classic carrier and a NOJO sling. The reviews I found were generally
good for both. Wish me and what's remaining of my sanity luck! I think
I'll feel much better if Quinn takes well to either one!

P.S. He did really well sleeping through the night last night. We even
had to wake him up to make him eat at one point. I didn't want him to
sleep past 4-4.5 hours straight without eating... it just seemed like
too long to me.
