Breakthrough!

I have hesitated to post this for the past few days, not wanting to ruin our streak of good luck by bragging, but now I just can't wait any longer. I think we've had a breakthrough in our sleeping saga...Emily has slept on her own in the bassinet for the past THREE NIGHTS! Mick had bought a smaller bassinet that actually fits in our bed, hoping that would make the transition a little easier--but she wouldn't have anything to do with it until this week. We've gradually gotten her used to it, but we think the trick was the Woombie! Tricia and Natalie recommended this, and it has been fantastic. It's the same idea as swaddling, but zips up the front and is made of stretchy fabric so Emily can still move her arms and legs around in it--she just can't startle herself awake with those flying arms. Our next step will be moving her to the bigger bassinet so she's not in our bed anymore. That might be a bigger challenge!
