Good, I'm glad to hea rthat you had a better time of it today. Once you string together a few positive experiences with it, you'll find that one day you just stop thinking about it, stop feeling self-conscious and clumsy, and you just pop her in there! When I was learning, I had to use the sling outside because my son is SO much happier out in the fresh air. It helped him develop a positive association with the sling, like "okay, this is a place where I'm happy", not "this is where I go when I'm sad and my mom doesn't want to deal with me", KWIM? *not that you were doing that, just using an example*
