[Tiger's Mom]

The last 2 weeks have been so horrible for me as the babies were both sick (Coccidia and Annika with yeast infection although now completely gone) and then I got sick . . it would not be fair for only one to be in bed with us so I decided they stay in their crates in the laundry room. I am still recovering from Bronchitis (taking codin so it knocks me out) but as soon as I am completely recovered, I will have both of them back in my bed.

Annika is the little one so she stays on my side of the bed but I put a huge pillow to block her off from falling. Tiger stays in the middle now since Annika has invaded his spot. If Annika is sleeping with us, she sleeps pretty much straight . . although I try to wake up in the middle of the night to let her relive herself. It has worked so far . . . she did pee one night so I had to wash my coverlet. Tiger, on the other hand, has never soiled our bed so he is pretty good. However, when he turned about 6 months, I put on a band so accidents won't happen . . .although so far, his pad has always been dry!

You just need to get them used to sleeping with you I guess. The babies know that when I say "nighty nighty" then it is time to sleep. Make sure all lights are off and I kinda massage their necks which somehow makes them drowsy . . . .

Why don't you put Diamond in the middle of the bed . . and have her blanket laid out so she know not to soil it. I do that both for Tiger and Annika, although Tiger no longer needs to as he is so used to not soiling . . . .he is the one that is a light sleeper and moves around the bed soooo much. I really would like to have a stairs so he can get back on the bed when he needs to. He always, always wants to jump off the bed

Be patient with Diamond . . am sure she'll come around . . . .
