7 layers of sleep

Up until this week, little Claire has graced us with an uninterrupted 5-6 hours of sleep through the night for ... Oh, about 2 times. She was consistently on the 2.5hr cycle and I was turning into a sleep deprived Gila Monster (that Matt has nicknamed Jezebel ... Or Desdemona... Or Lucretia ...We haven't agreed on it entirely).

That is ... Until one night last week when I had had enough. I knew my baby liked it warm so I layered her up -- undershirt, footed onesie, baby legs, sleep sack -- and then zipped her up in the woombie (which she never liked) and ohmigod she slept ... And slept ... And for the past 5 days we have gotten a consistent 6 hour stretch from her before needing to eat. And then she goes back to sleep.

Ok. Wesley loved the swaddle so we should have figured this out sooner but Claire showed no love for it and would manage to sleep a few hours in just a sleep sack with arms. But nevertheless, the woombie (and seven layers of clothes) have saved us once again. Hallelujah!
