It started out well. AJU7 fell asleep after 9pm, and we headed to bed at 10.
There were 2 in a king bed - lots of room!
Sometimes between midnight and 2am, AJU7 joined us in bed. Still, there was a ton of room. And I didn't have to worry about anyone pushing me out of the bed!
Then 2:45 came. AJU5 "couldn't sleep" in her own bed. Luckily she went to my husband's side of the bed to climb in. So, I still had almost half the bed for AJU7 and myself - still content.
A few minutes pass, and AJU6 enters our room and climbs up on my side of the bed. I knew that wasn't going to work so well. I would be squished and having to protect AJU7 too much. So, I took her to the guest bed room. Two in a queen bed and three in a king bed still seemed fine to me, especially since my "bed partner" is very small.
But, it wasn't meant to be. About 15 minutes later, AJU7 is nursing (after being stirred enough during the move that she couldn't get back to a deep sleep) and AJU6 is crying for mommy. I "yell" that I am stuck with AJU7 eating, so Daddy brings him to me. He (AJU6) proceeds to smack me in the head 2-3 times getting snuggled in. Luckily he does fall asleep, and so do the rest of us.
Daddy wakes up at 4;30am, and I hear him exercise (Kinect Your Shape) and then get ready for work. AJU5 is getting the king bed all to herself, but I am afraid to move AJU7 for fear of waking her (and waking AJU6). So, we stay in the queen bed.
AJU6 wakes at 6:15 - ready for a cup of milk and a show. I oblige and then return to the queen bed to sleep. AJU5 wakes at 7:00, upset that her show isn't on (she was promised the pick this morning). Luckily I was able to calm her with a promise that her choice would be "up" next (and a cup of milk).
I snuggle into the king bed alone (AJU7 is asleep in the queen alone) until AJU7 wakes around 7:30...
