No more swaddle!

Ten days ago, we went stopped swaddling Owen...cold turkey! I (Mom) was REALLY nervous. But, a nice cool glass of white wine helped after I put Owen down in his crib for the first time without being wrapped up in his Miracle Blanket. Owen cried for fifteen minutes the first night we did not wrap him. The second day (a Saturday) he napped without being swaddled too. He did not sleep that well, but enough to get him through the day. The second night he only cried for five minutes before falling asleep unwrapped. And the third night, he didn't fuss at all! Since then, Owen has put himself to sleep each night and typically in a different position. We think he is trying them all out, since until now he has been forced to sleep on his back with his hands by his sides!
