well i had a wonderful sleep last night. i fell asleep without getting ready for bed though. i must have been tired. jake, my 4 month old, slept great! dylan my 2 year old was in our bed around 4a.m.ish. he was hyper. i finally went to get him a bottle of milk and he went to sleep. so there where 4 in the bed. i still slept great!
for a while when i was pregnant with jake, i thought that i would want a break from children and babies in my bed. ( i had had at least one child sleeping with me for the past 7 years.) so i got a co-sleeper bed and hooked it to the side of my bed in preparation for the new little one. turns out, i don't want to have only 2 in the bed. my little jake will be all grown up too soon. i will never again have the opportunity to have him nestled next to me. the bond that i feel with this little fellow is so strong. i feel like a mother koala or some animal, where the baby is connected to the mother for the first year or so. i wouldn't have it any other way. thought i might want a bit more freedom, but, nope!!! I love it. they grow too quickly for that.
i am trying to enjoy every second of this short time of my life. i know that i will miss it sorely when it is over, but then i will try to enjoy every moment of that time too. here i go to enjoy today.

that is beautiful, baby! you are soooo right!
We've gone from baby to baby in our bed, too. It's been years since Scott and I have had a bed to ourselves. Sometimes I think we'll lose our minds because the babies take up 75% of the bed, but then I think about leaving my baby all alone in her own bed with no one to snuggle with and I realize, as you have, that this "baby season" is actually so short and so precious and eventually there will be no babies to share a bed with . . . and then I'm glad to share my bed.
thanks anaise! it's rally is so short. you are right. i love this time of my life! i am glad you love it too.
