We are making progress! Thanks for all the encouraging remarks. I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with pacifiers first of all...however...my babies don't know how to go to sleep without them so that was the problem. They are already doing better - G fell asleep before I could walk out of the room into the playroom to get Kathryn. That is a miracle for sure.
As for the swaddle thing, we are still swaddling them but keeping their arms out. They have slept thru the night perfectly the last several nights. K woke up around 1am last night and only cried on and off for 10 minutes. Brad was up and watched her in her crib and she was still asleep he said, just crying a little bit. We have also turned the monitor off as well. We still are able to hear them if they are crying hard but yet don't hear them if they are just stirring around and restless like before. And that was the problem...they would cry out, I would bolt upstairs, stick their paci in before they got too upset and woke up the other one. Honestly, I don't think I would have been this insane if I just had one but I created the paci problem because of having two-you will do anything in the beginning to calm one baby-and then when you think about having two fussing-stick in the paci!! :)
The munchkins are up-they took a solid 2 hour nap-that is PROGRESS! Thanks again for all the encouragement-hope y'all didn't think I had completely lost all my marbles! I have got to post some pictures I know!!

I am dreading the day we have to stop swaddling Gracyn! It really calms her down and she goes right to sleep! I don't think the paci will be an issue with her though--she spits it out as she's falling asleep. Though she can turn on a dime. She just started refusing to take a bottle--that's our latest challenge. Drew and I were planning on going out of town for the night and my parents were going to keep her....but now I'm not sure if we can go. I would LOVE a peaceful night's sleep! :) Hang in there!!
