If I haven't already mentioned....Evelyn is a super wiggly, active child! For this reason we've had to wrap her up pretty much from the get-go...which babies seem to like anyway...but this was pretty much a necessity because she wouldn't sleep if we left her unwrapped and if she did sleep then it wasn't for long cuz she'd wiggle and wake herself up. So wrapping her up guaranteed a little bit longer sleeping time for us and her :)
This got harder as she got older and bigger though and around a month ago she was getting pretty sick of it and started wiggling out of the swaddler and a couple weeks ago she pretty much got fed up with it and refused to sleep in it. So I decided we were done with it too and we tried sleeping without one...which was a bit rough at first but she seems to like it so much better without it! She was waking up a lot when we first started this but she's slowly getting better and I'm sooo glad! Last night she only woke up two times, which is amaaaaazing for her! ;)
She's so cute when she's sleeping now that she's "free" from the swaddler, starting to sprawl out and begin the journey of weird sleeping positions that children do :) She has her blankie (we got these two fuzzy type ones from the baby shower and she loooves them! She pretty much has to have it now when she goes to bed).

Is that yellow sleeper the one you were talking about? Cause those are from Wal-mart, usually winter time, and they're two to a pack.
