After a stressful week, Brucker tells Mashable that he decided it would be fun to surprise his wife and share some photos of Maya in her redesigned sleep suit. A sleep suit, Brucker explains, is an "infant product that is meant to limit movement and mimic the feeling of being held tight or wrapped up, without being completely swaddled."
