And finally we can sleep
This is our baby's third bed, which seems rediculous for someone who weighs the size of a house cat. I am now sleeping with about 14" of real estate between the swaddle me and the arms-reach in our oh so cozy queen bed. I took one for the team and gave my husband a luxurious 24" of room and hope that this will kick start our tandem postpartum weight loss plans. The arms-reach serves as an expensive barrier to keep me from rolling to the floor when I try to sit up. Though I'm sure it will come in handy later.
That said, I just slept for 7 hours (not straight of course! that's silly) with a 6 day old baby that has only let me sleep for a total of 4 hours per night since he got home. I feel like people again, kind of. Baby likes that he can stare at me and I don't have to worry about my husband rolling on him, so no more couch for him. I might be investing more in chiropractor care but we are all still winning here.
Someone recommend this doc a tot thing but pennies were saved and sleep was had for much less with the swaddle me. Newborns just want to be close to you, and this let's us be inches apart but in a much safer way.
