Labor = Work

And work we will this weekend!

My little sugar-plum has been swaddled since birth. However, as of late, she has been fighting us (to the point of screaming at times) about the swaddle, especially during naps. Little punkin sleeps wonderfully all swaddled up at night (up to 11 hours!!!) but we feel like she's becoming a big girl and ready for a change. She's also outgrowing her bassinet in the pack n' play and learning to roll over. Hence - we must move her to the crib. However, a swaddled, rolling baby in a crib = she could get stuck on her tummy with her arms pinned down. So . . . the time has come!

I've read it can take up to 3 days to change a baby's routine. So we're going to give it a-go this weekend and hope for the best. I forsee some sleepless nights (sad, since she's sleeping so well) and a bit of a struggle. Overall though, we are excited to see her eventually sleeping on her own in her crib without the swaddle.

Here goes nothin'!
