Ok, we have a 3 bedroom house and soon to be 5 people. Me, DH, DS1 (27 months) DS2 (13 months) and a new baby coming in October. Right now DS1 and DS2 share the bigger 2nd bedroom with the "baby" room being the smaller one next to ours. It has been the baby room for both boys too. Anyway, we coslept with our first 2 for about the first 6 months simple because it wasn't working for us after that, they both like/need their own space to sleep. Right now we have 2 twin beds in the boys room, a crib in the baby room, a queen and bassinet in ours and a extra full size mattress.
So, what is the issue? Lately the boys sleeping has gone to he** in a hand basket. They wont/can't nap at the same time (not the biggest deal except the days when they both NEED it at the same time) and they have to be pout to bed at different times (younger first) or else they keep each other up forever. Now, my older one has started waking up whenever the younger one does and just being AWAKE for hours. The little one is waking up more often and just being pissed and upset. Everyone is grumpy. SO.. what would you do? Where would you put everyone? DH is deploying RIGHT around when baby3 is due and we need to get this figured out. Do we leave it for a week or 2 and see if its just a phase? Move things around?
