Luck of the Irish?

Not sure if it is the luck of the Irish, but we are so happy to report that Camille has slept through the night with only one middle-of-the-night-wake-up for over 2 weeks now! If you have seen us recently, you may have noticed that we are a lot happier and looking a tad less like dead people walking. Let's be honest here--we still have Mr. Action and Miss High-Maintenance keeping us very busy during the day, so we still don't look great. But looking a little less like death-warmed-over is good enough for us. It's amazing what sleep can do!

And so what really caused this new change in luck? I'm going with Camille's new formula. Her new gastro had us switch her formula from Elecare to a regular ol' Similac. Wow, regular formula! That you can buy in a regular store! And not sell body parts in order to pay for it! And it apparently helps your baby sleep through the night! Greatness! Apparently, the gastro thought that the Elecare could have been "dumping" out of Camille's stomach too fast, causing pain and discomfort. He was hoping this change would help with irritability and sleep. So, we switched Camille to Similac, and the night that the transition was complete was the first night that she slept all night. Ten whole hours instead of her regular two. Again, greatness! I told our Gastro as much on Friday when we saw him again to follow-up on this new change. I gushed about how appreciative we were. I really wanted to tell him that he was a genius and then kiss his feet, but I held myself back. Again, it's that great restraint I have coming into play.

So maybe it was the formula, maybe it was the start of Spring, maybe it was that Camille has not been sick for over 2 weeks, or maybe it was that so many of you have been praying for this specific thing for us. We know that is the most likely reason!

Even so, it wouldn't hurt to have a little bit of Irish luck. The Whitts will take all of the good luck that comes our way! And so, in typical Henry and Camille fashion...

Happy
