Kudos to Tush!

My baby boy is getting too big for his receiving blankets. Every time I swaddle him up, no matter how tightly, he manages to break his arms out and wakes up or moves the blanket up too close to his face for my comfort. I decided that we were done with swaddling and with that all hopes of sleep went out the window. This child will NOT sleep unswaddled. He might be asleep, but his arms are not. They wave a million miles an hour until finally he smacks himself in the eye and wakes himself up...it would be funny if it didn't cause us both to be sleep deprived.

Yesterday I happened to remember this goofy blanket his Mamaw bought for him when he was born. It has a nifty sack at the bottom that his legs go in, and the the swaddle around his arms velcros shut. I tried it out and this puppy is NOT moving! There is absolutely no way its coming loose, its awesome! Honestly, I meant to take it back a long time ago because I just didn't think we would use it, but I forgot. So this is a huge thanks to Tush for our "Swaddle Me" blanket. It saved my sanity--he slept six (yep you read that right SIX) straight hours last night wrapped up in this thing! Miracle worker I tell you! I went and bought a back-up one today!






Totally off topic, but to the woman at Mc'Donalds this morning-please don't apply for a PUBLIC SERVICE job if you do not enjoy serving the public. It is not my fault that you messed up my order, and I was very polite in explaining to you that what you were handing me was not mine. I do not appreciate the way I was treated, or your snarky remarks to your co-workers. Just give me my coffee, thank me for my business, maybe even throw in a smile and send me on my way. I'm sure you would have spit in it if I hadn't been able to watch you fix it. Its a shame your name tag was so smudged, or I would report you to your manager. Next time you are having a bad day, keep it to yourself.

I feel better now. lol
