Eureka!

We may have found it: the Magic Sleep Solution. Hannah teased us a month or so ago with an 8-hour sleep stretch, then went back to her usual middle-of-the-night wakefulness. We swaddle her, but the little Houdini always manages to wriggle free. Some combination of being cold and flailing (probably whacking herself in the face with her uncontrollable limbs) usually wakes her up, and then it's all over. We tried just swaddling her arms, but that resulted in her wriggling the blanket up around her head- NOT good.

Then I remembered the gift from Great-Grandmother Jean- the swaddle sack! The foot pouch keeps the kicking contained and the velcro wings are (so far) escape-proof. (Although if you look closely, you can see a little bit of her right hand poking out...how does she do that?) Anyway, we're 2 for 2 on a full night's sleep- Tuesday was 8:30 to 5 and last night she went from 10 to 6!! The world is suddenly a brighter, happier place for Mommy and Daddy!!
