Cooper sleeps like a rock at the foot of the bed. However, she also has no problem sleeping in her crate, which she does often. If things get too crowed or there is another problem, Cooper will be fine spending nights in her crate.
Maddie is the one I worry about adjusting to the baby the most. I want to keep things as normal as possible for her so she doesn't feel that we are "replacing" her with a baby. I fear changing her routine after 4 years would send her into a frenzy. I put her out of the bed one night I was not able to sleep comfortably with her curled around my legs, and she peed and pooped outside the door. I believe she has anxiety when it comes to change. |
that's how i'm feeling Amanda. Bentley and Sadie have been in our bed for two years. they don't know any other routines and i'm scared that i either need to change routines now for the next 20 weeks or not at all so they don't feel baby as a threat to their place in our lives. maybe we'll just keep things normal and i can go into the baby's room in my glider to nurse or prob up on pillows and use a boppy. that way they don't trample on baby laying down but don't have to be in another room either. i think Bentley may start sleeping under the bed because he does that half of the time anyways. he just hates being forced into cages or gates
