I'm pregnant and need to start thinking about our nights in April. We sorta coslept with ds1, but had a cosleeper. It was expensive and it didn't work for long (he pulled up at 3 months so that was done.) We transitioned into all kinds of configurations for naps and nightime (the cosleeper, everyone on the queen on the floor, only mom and baby all night, him in a crib in our room, him in a crib in his room,) but now most nights I get him to sleep in his room on the futon mattress on the floor (maybe I fall asleep, maybe I don't,) then I goto my bed.
I think I used the cosleeper out of misplaced fear about cosleeping in general - I'm over that this time. I'm not overweight, on drugs, a drinker, etc. It's Florida so we have no need of heavy bedding and the floor is cooler anyway.
So, now I need to gather up some resources. DS will be 3 when the baby comes and he's doing great STN in his room (I nurse him down but then for the past 45 days he's down for the night - which is SO CRAZY awesome and smacks in the face of the whole "he'll never sleep on his own" argument against cosleeping!!!)

I would love to hear about everyone's favorite/least favorite resources.

Favorite book?
Best weblinks?
Products that made your life better?
Products that were a COMPLETE waste of money?

Looking forward to your expertise.
