Co-Sleeping is NOT for the Tender-Ribbed (or me)

by

The sleeping arrangements at Grandma and Grandpa’s house leave a little to be desired. At least for me.

Little G was satisfied to sleep on a blow up kiddie bed for the first two nights but unfortunately that has lost it’s luster and he’s found the bed where I sleep (in the same room) much more appealing. I crawled in last night with just enough room to sleep on my side with one arm above my head.

UUUUUUGGGHHHHH.

And then?

I proceeded to get kicked in the ribs no less than 55 times throughout the night. Because you know why? He was sleeping perpendicular to the bed, as in his feet – RIGHT NEXT TO my ribs. Yeah.

And you know what’s REALLY ironic? Baby decided to sleep through the night.

Yep. This is my life.

And I love it. Really, I do…

P.S. Happy Mardi Gras!!

  2. Poor girl!! I think I would rather sleep on the floor then suffer that abuse! 😉

    (says the mom who HAS suffered that abuse)

    🙂

  4. Yup. I know how that is. Not a co sleeper for that of many other reasons!
    But isn’t it the way that baby always sleeps through the night when you don’t (usually in my case due to the toddler waking up!).
    ‘Tis our life. 🙂

  5. Yes! I always sleep horribly when my son sleeps with us. We have a king-sized bed, but he insists on draping himself over my head… and if I move him, he wakes up and freaks out.

    It’s nice, in theory, that he likes to be close to me, but a girl needs her sleep!

    🙂

  6. Nadia crawls into bed with almost every night, in the wee hours of the morning. that does make it a little harder to get any quality sleep!

  7. that would be uncomfortable..you had to deal with them kicking you in the ribs in utero…now this! LOL

    Hope you are having a good time visiting family!

  8. I think every parent out there can sympathize!! I know I do!! Adam still sneaks in…Matty does sometimes… and I’ve just gotten Chloe to sleep in her own bed. sigh… Glad it was only at Gpa & Gma’s house! 🙂

  11. I hate sharing a bed with the kids when we go away because the same thing happens.

    Hooray for baby girl sleeping through the night, though. 🙂

  12. Yep. Co-sleeping is DEFINITELY not for me. 😉

    And welcome to parenthood of three kiddos. When one finally sleeps through the night another one decides to keep you up. 😉 It gets better. 🙂

  15. God, I am not looking forward to when my little one can climb out of her crib. I kicked her out of my bed when she was 12 weeks old for kicking me so hard. I don’t plan on going back!
