Join Me for the Sweet Sleep Time Twitter Party with Pampers {Giveaway}

I remember the first couple of weeks after bringing Harlan home from the hospital were exhausting. Everyone tells you to get your sleep before the baby comes but we all know that never really happens. We are so excited to hold that beautiful baby in our arms that sleep is the last thing from our minds.

Fast forward to when the baby arrives and I’d do anything just to get in a 15 minute nap. Harlan was a really tough sleeper. She had really bad colic which kept her up screaming until all hours of the morning. MacKay and I would switch taking turns bouncing her in the car seat carrier up and down our hallway. I didn’t know the true meaning of sleep deprived until she was born. She didn’t start sleeping through the night until nine months old.

I know that I was part of the reason that it took her so long to sleep through the night. She slept in my room next to me because MacKay was living in New York City at the time and I didn’t want her at the other end of our house with just the two of us.

When I found out I was pregnant with Avery I tried to prepare myself the best that I could for the lack of sleep. If you know me at all, you know that I love my sleep. I had just gotten used to sleeping through the night again and I had to prepare myself for getting very little sleep in the next coming months.

Avery’s second night in the hospital she slept for six hours straight. I woke up expecting the nurses to bring her into my room to nurse and when I buzzed they told me she was still sleeping. It was at that point that I had to tell them to wake her up so that I could feed her. Although I was very happy that she slept that long, I didn’t want to get my hopes up. I went home preparing for long sleepless nights just like her big sister had give us a few years before.

To our surprise, Avery’s sleep pattern pretty much stayed the same. She was consistently sleeping through the night at four months and we haven’t looked back since.

It’s amazing how much sleep can have an impact on your life when you become a mom. Sleep is always a big topic of conversation around my fellow mom friends. We like to exchange tips and tricks for getting our little ones to sleep through the night, no matter what the age.

Pampers understands a parent’s need to share our sleep secrets and that is why they are hosting the Pampers “Sweet Sleep Time” twitter party! I’m so excited to join my fellow bloggers, Louise and Kate, along with Pampers and She Speaks for this informative party with great prizes.

We’ve used Pampers since day one with both girls and I am happy to say that their diapers have never interferred with their sleep. That’s because Pampers Baby Dry diapers offer three layers of absorbency (compared to two layers in other leading brands), which help keep baby dry with up to 12 hours of overnight protection.

I hope you will join me as we share photos, as well as tried n’ true sleep time tips and rituals, with other parents. We will  be giving away prizes along the way including Pampers Baby Dry diapers and other products that are ideal for an uninterrupted night of sleep!

One lucky grand prize winner will win a year’s supply of Pampers Baby Dry diapers, a 6 month supply of Pampers Wipes, and a $300 gift card to Pottery Barn Kids to help create your little one’s perfect sleep environment.
