whew! sleep again!

Whew ... babies slept through the night again!

I fed at 11p and they were really tired and actually went right to bed. We swaddled and double swaddled with the little velcro "wings" from their Halo sleep sacks... and since they were already sound asleep we didn't even put on the "heartbeat" noise cd. That was actually nice to be able to go to sleep in silence!

We woke up after 6am to silence - wow, very exciting. The babies didn't even really start stirring until after 7am. Yeah, they slept 8 hours and we got another 7+ hours of sleep ourselves.

We're trying to figure out how we worked it out...

#1 swaddling and double swaddling with the velcro wings.

#2 good feedings (Davis fed for 14 min. the two feedings before... both babies have tended to 'overfeed' - and throw up - so I've been cutting them off closer to 10 min. and trying to extend if they can.)

#3 limited naps in the evening... keep them up.

#4 oh, and visits with our friend Beverly and her girls! maybe they are the magical touch... we'd seen them on Sunday and yesterday... hmmmm :-)

Whatever it was it was worth it! Hopefully we can keep up the good work!
