I like you did, SWEAR that I will not let my kids sleep in my bed, however if I have learned one thing it's to not promise myself anything when it comes to parenting.
With that being said, my very best friend is a huge believer in co-sleeping, so I am very familiar with it. I don't really understand it, but then again I'm not a parent yet.
What I can tell you is that you have to do what works for your family. I don't think that you should worry about it if it doesn't bother you. She co-slept with all of her children and they stopped at different ages. She still co-sleeps with her 2 1/2 year old. Both of her older children (6 and 10) have grown up to be healthy, active children with no sleeping problems.
Again, do what feels right to you and what you can handle. My sister started having her baby sleep with her b/c it was the only way she would sleep through the night, but she couldn't handle it. She wasn't getting any sleep and she didn't like it, so she broke her of the habit and she's now back in her crib. It was hard to break her of it, but she did it!! It just takes a lot of patience and a few sleepless nights!!!
Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
