spending my pennies

I have finally been able to save enough pennies (nearly 10,000 of them to be almost exact) and it's time to invest in my much coveted new baby carrier. But I'm stumped as to what color to choose. Maybe you can help me decide:

black with green lining,

blue with green lining, or

cranberry.

Generally speaking, I'm not much for the color black, but for a non-gender-specific baby carrier, it is versatile. Blue is my favorite color. But that cranberry one is pretty nice, too.

So help! I can't decide!

I think the black is really pretty. I like the green lining it has. My second choice is blue.

I was a little disappointed with the color selection for the Ergos. :( I like the cranberry one, though. However, you must ask yourself if your husband is going to wear this, too, and if so, what color would he also wear?

Since you can use it as a back carrier, Blake has said he'll wear it. He's also said he's fine with any of the above colors. (He was a part of the color choosing process.)

I noticed that while in New York, black was a common color everyone wore. Seems to me that it was also popular in London and Paris. So... I'd go with your favorite color, BLUE. It makes your eyes look good. After all, your baby will be looking into your eyes, no matter what gender the future has in store for your next children. And, arn't acessories about you looking good even if Blake is packing it around on weekends? :)

Okay, definitely cranberry. Here's why:
Blue is pretty, but too light--it will show dirt too quickly.
Black is nice to hide the dirt, but those spit-up and baby snot marks show up as white on black. Ick.
So, it has to be cranberry. It's dark enough to hide the dirt but still light enough to not show off the snot marks. Plus, it's a nice, pretty, gender neutral color.
There is a little peek into the way my crazy brain works for you!!

If I were buying one today, it would be blue. Huge fan of the blue/green combo.

I vote cranberry. Mine should be the only vote you need, right?

I love the blue one. Who cares about gender specific--just make sure your girl (when you have one) has a big bow, or lots of pink. :)
