Breakthrough

Sadly I have had to return to work. I worked 2 12 hour shifts last week, and am going back for more fun (very sarcastic when I typed that) this weekend. I am so thankful that we are fortunate to only have to do daycare 4 days of the month. It was awful to leave the girls, especially Aubrey as she is still so tiny and had her first cold at the time. Daycare is unable to swaddle Aubrey, which is the only way she really sleeps. She slept less than 3 hours each day and then we spend one night up all night in a vicious cycle of sleep vs eat. In order to avoid pulling another all-nighter we have been trying to wean Aubrey out of her swaddle. First one arm, then both arms, and last night totally without. It's hard to do something when you know that it will bring you even less sleep, and she finds it so comforting. However, for both of our sakes it is better to break free of the swaddle.
