The End of An Era

The Miracle Blanket has been retired...for those of you that don't know, the Miracle Blanket is a swaddling blanket that my friends Kelsey and Sandy told me about. This blanket is a life saver. I don't know how mothers sleep at night who don't have their newborns wrapped in these! The great thing about the blankets is how well they keep the baby's arms down by their sides so they don't startle themselves. For several weeks now Jack has been worming his arms out of the blanket in the middle of the night. I would check the monitor around 3:30 am and he would just have the blanket wrapped around his waist. Last night I decided to save him the trouble and not even wrap him up. After about 5 minutes of talking to himself in the dark Jack was asleep. I was so relieved!! He always fell asleep so quickly being wrapped up I was worried he wouldn't be able to fall asleep and think it was play time. He didn't sleep quite as long...woke up at 4:30 am instead of 6 but was able to eat and fall back asleep.
