DD is 3 and is still in our bed. Honestly, I would have liked her out about a year ago. We've been gently working on it but it is not happening yet and I don't want to push her too hard. Plus, by the time bedtime rolls around I'm usually too exhausted to even try. If she naps in her bed once a week I consider it a success. DD has been such a terrible bed-partner (and I mean this in the lovingest way) that if we had another child I do not think I would co-sleep again. Maybe an arm's reach or crib in our room. But, we'll cross that bridge if it comes.

My son is 4 months and I plan on transitioning him to a crib soon. I do like co sleeping, but he's a wiggly one and it can make it hard for me to sleep. Last night he slept really good without me. I think I only had to get up once to pat his back and give him his paci. But we are also visiting someone and were sharing a twin bed, that was just too little space.

DD is 9 mos. and I would love to get her into her crib (in our room) for more than 10 min., but she's not there and I'm not pushing. When she was 3-6 mos., she slept 3-4 hours each night in her crib (in our room) before waking to eat and come to sleep with me, and that was ideal. That way I got some rest before the tossing and turning began.... Now, not so much.

I won't "push" the issue until she can really understand that I'm Right. There. When she's sleeping.

I always imagined bed-sharing until DD wanted her own bed... but now I am just so done. She is 2.5 and is kicking me all night, and I can't get out of bed to use the washroom (I am pregnant!) without waking her and setting her into a fit of crying.

My mom is actually buying us a little toddler bed so I can work to transitioning her to sleeping in that, next to my bed. If she eventually takes to that well we will put DH and DD in a room together and me and the new baby together... but that might just be a dream.
