Sleepless in the Midwest

Well my son has decided that we really don't need much sleep at night. He went from sleeping through the night, which he has done since he was 5 weeks old to as of last night getting up several times during the night. Mommy is very very tired. He has been really fighting me when I have swaddled him when getting him ready for bed and he usually has some how houdinied (I make up words now) some part (arm, leg) out by one of his many wakings. He first decided that 4:15/4:30 a.m. would be a good time to get up and that we needed to stay up for the day at that time, then he decided that wasn't early enough so he thought he would try 3:15/3:30 a.m. for a couple of days...nope not early enough he decided last night that he would get up at 1:00 a.m., eat, go back to sleep since mommy just left me here, get back up at 4:00 a.m., go back to sleep after 30 minutes of mommy holding my paci in since she is NOT going to feed me again and get up again at 5:00 and then 5:15 and mommy then realizes that my diaper is SOAKED and feels bad!!!

Last night was the first night that he slepted in his sleep sack all night and was not swaddled, so I am guessing that is why he was up so much - those darn startle reflexes!!! But he is putting up such a fight being swaddled and is getting too long for the miracle blanket and the other one (I can't think of the name now...). I did try increasing his formula over the weekend thinking he might be going through a growth spurt and he just spit up SO much that I put him back to where he was....

Any thoughts or suggests AGAIN on this would be greatly appreciated....mommy needs here sleep back...she has to function at work!! UUGGHH. For right now my game plan is to keep putting him in the sleep sack and not swaddle him and hope that he just needs to get used to this and maybe after a week (oh a whole week of no sleep - can I do this....) that he will get back into his routine sleeping again.

But at what point do I let him cry it out....he would really just like me to hold his paci in for eternity...but my arm is going to fall off....my baby boy is not spoiled...no not him!!! :)
