Hoping for a "Miracle"




So let me first just say that my child loves her swaddle. She can't sleep without it and believe me we've tried. She will sleep for about two hours at best without it before her arms will jerk and wake her up. In about the past week or two she has gotten strong enough to bust out of her swaddle. Well after a LONG night of swaddling, busting out and crying (in that order) I went in search of a Miracle Blanket. My sister in law told me about it and used it with our nephew, who like Ava loved his swaddle. She kindly offered to send us one of hers, but after our night last night we were kind of desperate. (Carmen, if you read this and still want to send us one we'll take it for when this one needs to be washed.) For those of you who don't know, it has a special place for the arms so that they can't break free. Well wouldn't you know that there is only one store in the Atlanta area that even carries them and of course it's downtown. So this morning we made a trip to the store and purchased one. When we got home I tried it out on Ava and she seemed to like it and even started talking when I put her in it. Hopefully it will work and if she can get out of this one then I think she might have a career as Houdini's helper. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes.
