A Leash, I Would Never, But Straight Jackets Are Okay!




After a couple of days after being home from the hospital, I learned that Asher kept waking himself up by the flailing of his arms and the kicking of his legs in his sleep. When he is awake he is just as busy. So, I used a receiving blanket that was given to me by a friend (Thanks, Tracey Carroll!) to 'swaddle' him and he slept. The receiving blankets they make these days are for those 'little' babies that other people have, but not for my now 11.9 pound baby. Even the 2 large blankets I have can't keep our boy in...So I found these great things at Babies R Us called Swaddlers. They come complete with Velcro!!! What a life saver and a sleep maker! I know I will never hear the end of it if our son grows up to be claustrophobic, but hey at least he is sleeping...and so are we, I might add!
