the thing is...I really don't want A running around while we are sleeping. I can see him climbing out of his toddler bed and then roaming the whole upstairs. That makes me freak out. We have one of those 2 story family rooms and the rails always scare me. I know they are sturdy but it still bugs me. I never let the kids upstairs unless they are sleeping. Last night he refused to sleep in his crib and slept in bed with dh and I. I am hurting all over this morning. I have a stiff neck and back. I don't want a repeat of that tonight. I have a crib tent on hold at the baby store in town. I can't wait to stick his butt in his crib tonight...ha!

Oh, I hope it works! I have to sleep in the same room with Caden because he sleep walks. But I prefer sleeping with Caden to sleeping with DH. Caden is small, soft, snuggly and smells good. DH is large, hairy, snores, doesn't smell good and is always grabbing my boobs.

haha...I know the feeling. A actually does sleep in our room. It's just...we keep the door open in case the other kids need us. If A climbed out of his crib or toddler bed, he would be in a dangerous situation, I think. I would have to do all sorts of baby proofing upstairs. I just keep the kids downstairs for the most part because they won't be little forever and the amount of stuff we would have to proof is mindboggling at this point! I don't know when I'll transition the little man to his own room. The big boys are asking for A to share with them. Really? I wasn't going to do that but they want him there. So now I'm looking into having a set of bunkbeds and a twin in 1 room. We have enough room for all the kids to have their own space and yet they all want to be together. I don't get it!

I think it's sweet that they want to be together! My big boys did too. But that was mostly so they could share their TV and Xbox I think, LOL. They have always shared a room!

Yeah DD4 has fallen down part of the stairs once in the middle of the night, so I've been freaked out ever since. My DH is working graveyards right now so there's plenty of room in my bed for her, but she always likes to snuggle in right next to me and my back is always so sore in the morning. And I know it's a horrible habit for her to have. My older two like to share, but they hate having the little ones in there. So I'm thinking we have to put at least them in their own room ASAP. Not sure how I'll end up arranging the younger 3, especially if this is another girl.

When do you have your u/s to find out??? I'm so excited for you. Even if it's another girl, you make such pretty girls! I know you really want a boy so I am hoping you have one in there. You have to keep us posted!
Our 10 year is this August and I am asking for a king size bed. I'm done with a queen. My dh likes to be "close" at night (blah) and I need ROOM!Mommy to 5 beautiful children and 3 angels in heaven

I don't have an ultrasound date yet, I will schedule it on Tuesday for as soon as they will let me.
Yeah we have a queen bed and we keep saying the next bed we buy will be a king size, but that depends on where we live and whether one will fit in our bedroom. I'm worried though that with a king we'd never see each other again, those things are huge! Our 10th anniversary isn't until June 2012, but I want to go to Alaska for it on a family trip. Orginally I was thinking just DH and I would go somewhere fun alone. But I have a lot of family up there that haven't met most of our kids, and I'm scared one or both of my grandparents are going to die soon. My goal is to have this baby and then work my butt off to lose all my weight before then, but I don't know if I'll be able to pull that off while breastfeeding. I just won't want to do anything for our anniversary if I'm fat. I should have kept TTC a year ago, I would've had this baby 3 months ago and had plenty of time.

Nbp - that is sooo funny about you dd3 on the couch with an iPad at 3am.
Aprilmay - so funny about ds being nicer in bed than dh. Would agree but my dd sleeps sideways.
We gave a tent cot. Not sure it's the same thing. It's like a tent on the floor with a matress inside? My kids run around the house inside it when we arent watching. You sure he won't just get out of that too. What about a lock on the door to his room. Then he could just play in his room? Or will he get scared?

Be careful. Babies have strangled in their crib tents. I thought about it because I was not ready for mine to be running around either but decided to suck it up and baby proof and get a babygate. It wasn't too bad of a transition.
