I can't say I totally feel your pain, but our son is just two weeks and two days old now (I guess that makes about 16 days), and the first week was angelic, but now his true personality is coming through, and he's more of a handful at night. Granted, nowhere near the challenges you sound like you're experiencing.
My only tip, beyond what raeanna suggested, is to raise the head-end of their cribs a little bit... two or three inches. It'll help keep some of the acids down (I have a reflux problem myself, and know of two infants that went through these problems), just via gravity.
Oh, and if you magically figure out how to interpret the cries and the leg kicking, do let me know!!!
