When I met DH, both kids were sleeping in the bed with him even though they had their own rooms and beds. It was a long process but him and I worked together to get them to sleep in their own beds. For the past two years they sleep in their beds most of the time but sometimes they come into our room in the middle of the night when they can't stay asleep.

SS6 suffered from night terror and so at least once a week or so he used to come to our bed. I never liked it cause he sleeps so wildly that often I get smacked in the face, kicked in the back or belly or pushed to the edge of the bed. SS6 sleeping in our bed means no goodnight's rest for me, although for some reason DH sleeps right through it. Anyways, now that I'm pregnant I am very protective of my body and absolutely refuse to let the SSs sleep in our bed. I have a hard enough time falling and staying asleep as it is and I don't want to get kicked in the belly.

Last night around 2 AM, SS6 came into our room and tried to get into the bed, I told him no, he asked why I said well, you're a big boy now and big boys sleep in their own beds. He was not happy when I sent him back to his room so he started screaming and crying. We ignored it. After about 30 minutes of that, he started screaming "I want BM, I want BM!". I tried to ignore it but it got on my last nerves! Then I can hear SS4stb5 waking up. I'm not proud of this, but I yelled at SS6 and told him to pipe down and go to sleep. He was quiet for maybe 10 minutes but then started it up again. So I went into their room and told SS6 if I hear him one more time, I'm putting him in timeout and he won't be allowed to play with his Leap Pad today. Thank God that shushed him and I didn't hear him after that.

This morning he came into our room to say good morning, acting like nothing happened. I had a talk with him and I also let DH know later on how pissed I was because I was kept up and now I'm grouchy and exhausted.
