Just our luck

So it was advised to us that we try weening Nolan off his swaddler at night. For those of you that don't know what a swaddler is, it looks like a blanket with a pocket at the bottom for his feet. Once his feet are in the pocket you wrap the blanket across him to hold him tight. This was a miracle blanket for us. Nolan had really bad startle reflexes and this was the only way he could sleep. We decided last night was the night. Boy we picked a great night to try this, here's a breakdown of my night...

3am - up fussing, binky solves that

3:30am - still fussing, change diaper and binky

4:00am - moving around grunting and making all other kinds of noises that keep mommy up

5am - loud shriek, in to check and sound asleep, must have been a bad dream

5:15am - Dad up to check on Nolan after the loud shriek and to our surprise a diarrhea accident from Shelby

5:17am - Mom cleaning up the accident... not fun at 5am

6am - up to feed Nolan, back to bed

8:30am - laughing and giggle and cooing, time to get Nolan

9am - downstairs to feed Shelby, time and get up, another accident on the rug in front of the sliding glass door.

9:30am - wash rugs, call vet

It's been a long time since he's woke up in the middle of the night, I'm hoping tonight goes a little better. We called the vet, he suggested Imodium for the dog and no food for 24 hours. Hopefully this will solve cleaning up messes at 5 in the morning. Needless to say we apparently picked the wrong night to lose the swaddler. I'm thinking tonight will be the same, less the accidents.
