When the family bed becomes over crowded.

I co slept with Loghan until the age of 18 months on and off… but mostly on especially in his first year as he was a colic baby.

Gabriel was in his own cot from day one and we have co slept with Jesse pretty much since birth because A- he wouldn’t sleep and B- he hated the cot, he wouldn’t sleep due to health issues that a doctor finally diagnosed at a year and we are still co sleeping because he just doesn’t want to leave our bed, which has been fine I love it and so does hubby however we have a double bed which with a toddler included leaves minimal room for us two adults (anyone who co sleeps will understand this never-ending story).

A few nights over the last month or so however we have had a pair of extra feet come creeping into our bed from down the hallway, this pair of feet starts off at the bottom of the bed all innocent and inconspicuous other than the fact that we can’t really stretch out our legs it’s not a problem, however then this pair of feet and the 6 year old monkey that accompanies them moves up and up until he worms himself between Jesse and me, long story short Jesse realizes he is no longer in reach of his mommy or her hair which he loves to hold on to and wakes up very unhappy, Gabriel wakes up very unhappy, my hubby wakes up and tells him to go back to be he gets upset by this time everyone is awake and upset and so the cycle starts again.

Ah mom life….
