dd is 8 mo. mama is very very tired, and also needs some cuddling time with daddy, plus we need time to watch movies and have a (nonwhispered) conversation or two..
the dvd is in our room, with our king bed that we've been sharing, mostly happily till now. little kickypants is now very disturbed by sound, movement (ahem) etc. and i'm starting to feel like a prisoner in bed-- she ONLY wants to sleep right smack up against me and then wakes up if i move or speak!
so.. what if we put a twin mattress on the floor in another room ('her' room that we don't use, of course) and i nurse her to sleep in there (round 8), and go get her when she wakes up (around 10)? is there any reason not to try this? she's not really the roll-around sort once she's asleep. i'm just tired of having to stop any movie watching or activity once she begins to stir.
putting the media set up in another room is NOT an option due to enormous furniture situations. we have a crib but it's a drop side and i fear it. it's basically a diaper changing station. i don't want to let her sleep in it. i'd feel safer with her on the floor. i suppose i could side rail it but sound is what wakes her up, too.. that wouldn't solve much. not opposed to keeping her in the bed, we just need a little time. getting desperate.
