The miracle that is swaddling!

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!!!!

For some reason Mason never liked being swaddled..I don't know why!

The sleep part gets better..trust me! Eventually she will get her days and nights straight which means more sleep for mommy and daddy!

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!
