Makenna LOVES to be swaddled! The hospital nurses swaddle all their babies with 2 blankets. For some reason, maybe lack of sleep, we didn't swaddle her when we tried to get some sleep Monday nite. It was a long nite with VERY little sleep. The next nite Lance decided to bring the swaddle back. What a difference that made! Last nite was even better!! Makenna sleeps very soundly for about 3-3.5 hours when she's swaddled. That is sweet relief to us! Now Lance and I just need to get our nite started sooner than 11pm-midnite. We're aiming to be in bed by 10pm tonight.
More updates later as I have a diaper that needs changing:) I love being a mom!!!!

I am so happy for you Kelly!!! It's a little tough being sleep deprived but kids are worth every second of lost sleep, as you already know!!! I just can't get over how gorgeous she is!!!! You all did a great job makin that baby girl! LOL
I'm just sitting here grinning for you.
I love hearing how you love being a mommy. It's the best!
We were big time swaddlers with Jillian! She was so active (still is) that those little hands would inevitably fly into her face and wake her up!
Love the name Makenna by the way!
