We are having trouble balancing AP, sleep and our coupledom. The baby used to sleep in his bassinet next to our bed and our 4 year old in his bed. At around 4 mos, the baby outgrew his bassinet and he has been sleeping with us ( baby is now 6 mos). The 4 year old has now discovered that during one of his night visits to the bathroom----and he had a fit. He now climbs into our bed too---around midnight. I can tell you its crowded!!!

Now the 4 year old flings himself about during his sleep, the baby kicks his feet and wakes himself ( and me) up and my DH snores ( which wakes one or both of the kids up). So now DH has been camping in the guest room the last couple nights--which is not a good thing. That said, when the kids are sleeping with us---they look like contented little angels.

To make matters worse, our crib in on the floor in pieces ( dh lost the screws) so I am not sure what to do.

When the 4 year old was a baby we used to let him sleep on a futon in our room and we would lie on the futon with him for at least part of the night. I am thinking it might be time to buy another futon.

Would welcome advice--
thanks,
Lexie
