So after much thought and trying tons on, I finally ordered the Ergo carrier. I also ordered the infant insert, so we will see how I like it. But it was the most comfortable out of the dozens I tried on. It will be great for outings. However, I still want just a simple sling to wear around the house during the newborn stage, so after I get one I'll give a review. I have a bid in on ebay for the new native baby carrier, I'm winning it at only 99 cents right now LOL. If I lose it I'm going to order one of the hotslings on sale on their website.

Thanks to everyone that gave me their reviews and info on the baby wearer website also! I've got 5 weeks left, so excited!

I have had the baby bjorn before and I wasn't too thrilled with it. Mainly b/c it was such a pain if you sat down. You can't really sit in it and you have to re-adjust the straps when you stand up. Plus it just wasn't comfortable-and I did have the active model with the back support.

I have heard tons of great things about the Ergo, most moms say its the best carrier out there. It's the same price as the bjorn (105) but it's hard to find used (unlike the bjorn which you can find on Craigslist for $30) plus they just redesigned it so I wanted the new model anyway. Buy Buy Baby had one out so i got to try it on and wow, it is alot easier and more comfortable than the bjorn. It has tons more padding and just seems cozier for the baby. They only had it in black though and I wanted it in camel so I ordered mine online. When i get it I'll give you a better review Kelly!
