[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep -- my DH sleeps in a separate bed in the living room for the time being and I am so appreciative! 
We have not slept all night in the same bed for almost 2 years. 
We have sex at least once or twice a week (even now while I'm 40 weeks pregnant!!). 
Here's why: 
I co-slept with my DS until he was 5 months. I was miserable. Trying to co-sleep and breastfeed and my baby just continuously nursed and pooped all night. Finally I reached the end of my rope and DH offered to co-sleep with baby until he goes into the room with his big sister. So I got to start getting full nights of sleep while DH managed the baby. 
Eventually this transitioned to having the two kids (they are 1.5 years apart so close in age) in their room together. However the young one would still often wake up once in the middle of the night and/or the kids would wake up super early. DH wakes up early anyway to start working on his computer by 6:30 so he basically took on night-time and morning wake-up time for the kids. 
Lucky me!! Yes I miss cuddling with DH to sleep, but he does all this so I can get better sleep. Once I got pregnant again we continued this because it made sense while I'm pregnant and need more rest - not to mention I literally make a pregnancy nest in my bed with 6+ pillows propping me up. DH enjoys sleeping in the living room, I think he gets to read news on his phone and stuff instead of me bugging him to turn it off so I can sleep

I feel extremely lucky with this set-up. 
And, as far as sex goes, we tend to find a good convenient time to do it which I find more enjoyable than just at the end of the day when I'm tired and kind of want to zone out. Saturday afternoon nap times for example are the bomb [/quote]

You don’t do night wake ups or early mornings but still decided on kid 3? Interesting. [/quote]
