Swaddling

Well, things in the world of Sydney are going great.  We started swaddling her yesterday and boy, what a difference!  As Brian says, it is the bee's knees.  She actually slept for four hours last night, was up for awhile, then went back down for another three and a half.  Then she actually slept for four hours midday today.  That is the most sleep she has gotten...as well as us.  She has been much calmer and seems to love to be swaddled.  If we would have known this before, we would have been on it.  Let's hope it wasn't just a fluke!

Brian went in yesterday and got his vasectomy done.  Yep, no more natural babies for us.  As most of you know, it is just too hard on my body and it's just a miserable time.  Anyway, if we are led to have more children, we are most definitely open for adoption.  Time will tell.  At this point, we have our hands full enough with Sydney.

Anyway, Brian is supposed to take it easy for a couple of days and just lay flat...which would normally be fine, but on top of that, I now have mastitis in both breasts!  Ugh!  I am in a significant amount of pain and am running a fever.  I have to now go on antibiotics (just add those to the rest of the pills I have to take!) and was told to go to bed.  Well, that is easier said than done. 

So, we are literally just trying to take things part of a day at a time right now.  At least we have a little hope with the swaddling and Sydney sleeping a little more.  Plus, my parents are coming in tomorrow night and will be here for a little less than a week...I told my mom she should prepare to take care of three babies while she is here!  :)
