The MIracle Blanket lived up to its name! It was 100% Scotty-proof and that means Momma got almost a full three hours of sleep between the hours of 3:30am and 7:30am (we had one brief interlude that was related to pumping, not swaddling.)
Although I will admit, our days with the Miracle Blanket are numbered. The blanket's directions state to wrap one part of the blanket "around your baby's tummy, and be sure to tuck it in under their back." Um...we got the blanket part over the tummy, but there wasn't much room to tuck under his back. It was pulled fairly taunt over our child's ample mid-section. Little Pork Chop just looked at us happily as we attempted to squeeze him into the garment. I think we will be shopping at "Husky Baby" fairly soon. Is there a Big & Tall store for babies? When do I break out the 'he's just big-boned' comments?
The best part came this morning when I found Brian looking into the bassinet. I had just come back upstairs from bottle washing and we both gazed lovingly at our little ham. He was awake, too, and I asked him, "Who loves his Miracle Blanket? Who loves it?" (yes, in that annoying mother tone). Scotty broke out into this great grin. So cute! And so quiet at night. This is definitely a win-win so far.
