I need a baby...carrier :)

My neighbor, Codi, introduced me to the Boba baby carrier.  I always thought a carrier is a carrier.  But I've been converted.  My munchkins are 4 years (34 lbs.) and 7 months (about 16 lbs.) I can easily carry either of them for hours with out even a sore back.  The same goes for my husband.  Both of us have chronic pain in our necks and backs so this is a miracle.  And they love it!  Gracie has fallen asleep for a whole naptime and Lily begs to be "carried in that.".

I usually wouldn't want to spend $100 on a carrier but if I don't win the giveaway over at Familylicious then I'm going to be biting the bullet and shelling out the moolah for my own.

Questions for the Parentals?

I have a couple questions for all the parents out there.

Lily has been eating a "normal" size dinner. An amount that looks like (and according to her) fills her tummy, but then about an hour or so later she says she's "super hungry".  I have been giving her a snack but she's still saying she's hungry when she's going to bed.  Is this just a ploy to stay up longer?  Or should I keep giving her snacks?  BTW...I have yet to allow her to stay up later to have snacks.

Secondly, I had my nieces over the other day and Ciara had diarrhea really bad.  I didn't know until she had an accident and it leaked out of her panties onto my carpet.  I can't get the stain out!  Help!
