To swaddle or not?

I'm having internal mommy struggle. DS is not a huge fan of the swaddle but sleeps at night with it pretty well.  During the day I've been letting him sleep on his belly since he sleeps like a champ and I'm always right there to watch him.  But at night we are still trying to swaddle because he does sleep better, but it's just a fight to get ihim in it.  Tonight he was being a stinker and freaking out every time I tried to swaddle so I just gave up and walked out of the room. He fell asleep on his own without crying after about 10 minutes.  He's been asleep for almost 2 hours but he's been stirring and letting the arms flail just about every 5-10 minutes. He's still asleep but it doesn't see, to be restful at all.  Should I go in and swaddle?  It's on him, just not wrapped- it's a swaddle me, so his feet are in it and the rest is opened up. This is all so scary to me because DD LOVED her swaddle and I'm so afraid of a disaster of a night without it!

My son hates his arms being swaddled so we bought a Swaddle sleepsack at Babies R Us. It fits over his arms like a sleeveless shirt. His legs are in a sack and it zips shut. It then swaddles across his stomach and chest. He loves it! Good luck!
