I know there is a rule that you are not supposed to let your babies sleep with you. I have to admit I have officially broken this rule!
Since Lily was about 4 months old, she started sleeping in the bed with us. I usually would end up feeding her and she would sleep on my stomach and we would both fall asleep like this for a while. I, then determined that she would sleep longer, almost all night, when in the middle of her daddy and I. For the first several weeks, I would wake up very often checking on her making sure that the blankets weren't over her and that she was ok.
After she started sleeping with us, I realized something that she and I have in common. She loves to snuggle! She always wanted to be right under me. Usually, I would end up with my arm under her holding her basically while we slept.
We still snuggle every night and I look forward to it! She has to be right next to me, and I mean right beside me and she loves it! I always have a hard time waking up in the mornings because I just love holding her. I am actually in no hurry to get her out of the bed..I know this will be difficult when she grows older. I know I slept with my mom especially when my dad was at work, and I eventually made it to my own bed, but for now, I just want to continue snuggling with Lily.
(On another subject, I am looking forward to the weekend so much! I am also excited because we are taking to the small circus in town on Monday and I am off work next Friday. I hope that it will be a good week!)

Jancie slept in her crib for a total of 3 nights, I think. She used to have to be right next to me, but she likes her space now. She absolutely positively doesn't like any covers of any kind.
When they are ready, they will sleep in the bed alone....I hope!
