I'm due with #3 in December. #1 is 5 and #2 is 3. We have 2 queen sized beds attached to one another, and most mornings both girls come in with us by 3-4 am.
After I had #2 and was nursing in bed, #1 would REQUIRE that I have an arm around her (so I had some amazing contortions to keep everyone happy). She's still very demanding that way; won't accept if #2 is between us, and wants to be "actively" cuddled (my arm around her, her head on part of me). I'm fine with that probably 60% of the time (until I need to move for comfort & she gets in a snit). I'm very worried, though, about how sleeping will work with a 3d babe. I can't do what I did last time (for one, my body's older and more tired!
).
