Don't want to jinx it but

Guess who slept through the night the last two nights??

Poor child has acne

And guess who was happy about it.


You wonder where I get this face from...

Don't worry Dad, I'm not saying it's a bad thing :)
We smile with all of our teeth, that's all.

One of the best ways to help her to fall asleep is our "modified swaddling." I never swaddle her all the way because she kicks too much to get a good wrap around her body, and pretty soon the blanket's all loose and we have to repeat it 80 times. But this-- what Bowman calls the "burrito wrap"-- is perfect. Arms only, and she's asleep within minutes, and she stays that way. Plus it's cute!

No flash (couldn't risk waking her up after all the hard work!)

Rayna has such a cute little smile! What a sweetie.

Have you tried the miracle blanket? It's got a little pouch for the legs and then wings that wrap all around the body. There are kinds with velcro too, but sometimes the babies just gotta have a leg free, or an arm free. Glad to hear things are going well for you, though. (and totally impressed that you're back to your fighting weight in just 6 weeks!)

I am way excited that you have such an angel for a baby. I hope Rayna stays that way! I'll knock on some wood for you.
