    We were just gearing up for CIO -- we had gotten to the point were I was doing 6+ paci runs per baby a night - -plus a night feeding, and I was just plan worn out. We ordered sleep sacs, and were planing on started CIO on Monday of this week. We were going to only go in after 2 am - feed them, and that was it.

    My parents came up for the weekend and watched the boys for us (bless them) -- so we could get away for a few days before I had to go back to work. We left on Thursday, came back on Sunday. On Friday I talked to my Dad, and he said they STTN (6:30pm-5:45am) WITHOUT a night feeding. I was super suprised given how poorly they've been sleeping -- but it isn't TOTALLY unheard-of since they have STTN a few times before.

    Well, it happened again in Friday night (6pm-6am)....Saturday night, sunday night, Monday night, AND tuesday (6pm-7am!!!) night!!!! Holy Cow....I'm in total shock. I've been asking my mom what she sliped the kids, and how long until it wears off!! I heard one peep from someone on this morning at 5am -- but by the time I got to their door -- all was quite....

    I'm hoping this just keeps on...but I feel SO much better about doing CIO now -- since I KNOW they can self-sooth (or they wouldn't be consistantly sleeping though)


    Oh, and they are totally breaking out of their Miracle Blankets -- every morning I go in and all limbs are free....so I'm going to give this a couple more days and then transition to sleep sacks.... wow... wish me luck that this holds out!!!
