Shhh! Don't Wake the Sleeping Baby Burrito.

I just took this picture 2 minutes ago. She's sleeping. We need to swaddle her like a burrito for her to sleep decent. During the first couple weeks we didn't need to swaddle her as much, but she moves her arms & legs around so much that she disturbs herself, usually by hitting herself in the head (& if you sleep next to her or with her on your chest & she isn't swaddled, she'll hit you in the head too!)

She's in her bassinett here. She's going to outgrow that fast, although I knew that she would probably only use it for the first 3 months anyways. She's actually a pretty sensitive sleeper. If she is sleeping in the pac-n-play in the living room, you can't be watching tv because once she's in the light phase, it's all over and she'll wake up. The same is true for too much light. Her bedroom gets a lot of light and the blinds in there just don't cut it. If she is sleeping in her crib, she'll sleep fine in the the deep phase, but the light disturbs her in the light phase. I'm going to have to order some room darkening curtains for her room (like I did for ours - which are great!) So, for now she'll mainly do most of her sleeping in her bassinett.

Mom & Dad sent me an e-card saying pretty much the same thing.

I just hope that when you & Jason have kids you will do something similar, since I will be in the same situation.

Not sure M&S would, as she doesn't read the blog as it is.

I just think it's nice.

Plus with daddy's family living about an hour & 15 minutes away, it's not like they get to see her often either (and other family in Spain.)

She changes so much everyday. It's just amazing.
