The Swaddle

I think Carina is growing out of “the swaddle”. I tried wrapping her up like normal for bed last night, but she started struggling and crying. I unwrapped her, and she smiled and went to sleep. The only problem with leaving the swaddle stage is that we were using the blanket to keep the pacifier in her mouth until she fell asleep. Now we may have more false starts. The good news is that we don’t have to do it at 2:00 AM anymore.

We were thinking about taking Carina to spend her first night in a tent this weekend. I’m looking at the weather forecast, though, and I’m not sure what to make of it. Saturday night and Sunday are listed as “Slight (20% ) chance of thunderstorms”, but then the little icon they are using is a dark cloud with buckets of rain coming out of it. Now, normally I don’t let a little thing like a rainy forecast cheat me out of a camping weekend. With the baby for the first time, though… I don’t want the dark cloud, but a little thunderstorm wouldn’t be terrible. I don’t know.

Speaking of weather, though, it’s turning out to be a nice day here. 82 deg outside right now, and even better the heat index is only 82 deg. Yea for it being October!
