On sleeping with my husband again
No, sorry, not a sex post. It is actually a post about sleeping with my husband, literally.
A while back I posted about the size of our bed. Yes, it is a full, and my many pleas to Bill for a bigger bed have been met with "We don’t need a bigger bed, we need less people in the one we have".
For the last 14 months, Bill has spent a majority of the nights sacked out on the couch. He used to start out in bed, only to move to the couch in the middle of the night. As time marched on, Mia grew, and the bed did not, so he now starts the night on the couch and stays there. This is not what I want. During our entire marriage, Bill always had me come to bed with him, because he said he could not get to sleep without me. Not a problem now.
Although I absolutely love sleeping with my baby, I am ready to have my husband back in bed with me. Mama Mia will officially begin her nights in her own bed tonight. It should make for an interesting night.
I feel so very conflicted about this. If Bill would just let me buy the king bed of my dreams, I would not feel the need to move her out of our room. I want my husband back in bed, and no one can get any sleep with the three of us in the full. Rock and a hard place.
She really does fine with her naps in the crib. I just know I will be up frequently, as she still nurses at night, and I REFUSE to let her "cry it out". Not an option.
The other option is to just order the bed, set it up, and see if Bill notices………think it will work?
Jamie and I haven’t slept together since #2 was born. Obviously, not a problem.
That said, now that I’m out of the nursing all night and responding all night (I night-weaned Ellen a few months ago) I’m ready for him to join the bed again.
When we had a stick house, we had a King and a Queen smooshed together; literally wall to wall bed.
Hang in there; Christmas is just around the corner.
I am going to have to agree 100% with you that Bill is ready for it to be just 2 in bed again. He has been really patient about it, and has never asked for Mia to go to her crib because he knows how much I love being with her.
We tried putting her side car, and it was short lived. She could hear every move we made, every cough, every roll, and woke up crying….all night.
I am thinking the bed might make for a great surprise Christmas gift from his parents. They have been asking us if they could get us one, after they babysat with the kids overnight and slept in our little bed!
I hate to say it, but it sounds as if Bill really just wants you two alone in the bed and the size of the bed isn’t going to matter.
Can you attach Mia’s crib to the side of your bed? That might be the best of both worlds.
if i were u i just order it and hey after u buy it and he see how it works he will be to happy to be mad u know
