thank you for asking her! cherry hill is VERY south - so philly is like a hometown for them :)
i do not drink, dave does - but not often (anymore)...thankfully! if either of us were intoxicated before bed - we would never ever allow her to sleep with us!
She felt the same as you, that it wasn't a good study/campaign for those reasons too!
If it works foryou guys, do it!

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
Jess I am here to tell you that Viviana starts in her Cosleeper and at about 2 or 3 in the morning when she wants her binky put in her mouth I pick her up and stick her right in my bed.. She is not leaving my room any time soon.. I think when its time for her to go in her crib I am going to have my husband drag it in my room and I will have her crib in there with me.. I cant imagine her not being in my bed or in my room.. I am so with you on this one.. I dont think its weird I have to do whats best for us and so do you.. She wakes up smiling at me everyday.. I cant take it..

I miss you How is Viviana?
My 2 little ones started in our bed a little older at 2 yrs and 1 yr. They hop in during the night so me and DH go to bed alone. It doesn't interfere w/ our marriage and we don't cuddle during the night anyway b/c he wears a full face mask for his slep apnea.
Although I love having the kids sleep in the bed - it's gonna have to end soon.

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Just be very consistent. My SIL would allow my niece to sleep with her when my brother would be working some nights. Great, except when he came home and she then expected her to sleep in her own bed Honestly, this caused so many sleeping issues for her and she still gets up many times a night to cuddle with her mom.
So honestly, do what you think works best for you, your marriage and your family. My only caution is to be consistent. I think this is what screws kids up the most in the long run.

. I do believe it has affected their marriage and her DH often sleeps on the couch as to not wake the baby when he gets home late from work. Not the best of situations
This would be a problem for me. No way is my husband going to be evicted from the "martial bed", at least not for the sake of co-sleeping

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
We coslept for the first 7 months of Ryan's life. We only transitioned him to the crib at that point because we all started to wake each other up constantly so it wasn't working for us anymore.
I loved cosleeping and have every intention of doing it next time around.
Only you and Dave know what is best for Emma and your family. While people may offer unsolicited advice do not feel pressure to accept it and change what you are doing.

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
Just thinking of you this morning..
My lil darling girl rolled over and plopped her soft head of hair on my shoulder this morning. Her warm little body leaned up against my ribs. 
I do love it!
Oh and as a bonus, hubby thinks is so cute - he lets me/her sleep a lil longer while he gets up and does the morning routine of feeding the cats, getting AJ's bag ready and setting up for AJ's change. 
Wouldnt trade it for the world.
Actually hubby said this morning all she wanted was her paci and she'd have gone back to sleep in her crib but he brought her into our room anyway.
Sure, she first puts her heel into my ribs and sleeps against Daddy for a half hour then flops over and puts her head my shoulder. But her kicking me and slapping my face is worth that hour of bliss!

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
We plan on co-sleeping with Frankie as long as I'm breastfeeding and we (especially I) LOVE it!! It makes for such an easier time at night feedings and I love all the cuddle time! My parents kept giving me shittt about it (meanwhile they co-slept with ALL of us ) and it wasn't till I got an email from Dr Sears Newsletters promoting co-sleeping that they got off my back. I'll try to find that email for you! If you guys love itm then go for it

Isn't that the best
This morning Frankie rolled over and opened his mouth wide for a kiss (this is his new thing and I LOVE it). There's def no better way to wake up

I don't think co-sleeping is right or wrong.
JMO, but our bed is DH and my bed. I was raised in a house where we NEVER slept with our parents. I wouldn't invite my DS to sleep with us. We put DS right into the crib from day 1 as well.
Only twice has DS slept with me in the bed (and it was for naps for about 1 hour). I personally would never do co-sleeping. Never have and I don't think I will. In fact I'm always shocked when co-sleeping parents have more children. Just the logistics of it baffle my mind.
TOTALLY agree!

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
it's pretty basic really - dave & i have our 'time' together when she's sleeping in the pack n play or the swing (while we're typically watching tv after dinner). We put the monitor on and do what we want to do....our 'alone' time in the bedroom has NOT suffered at all.

Re: Question - "family bed" related...
I was raised in a family where sleeping with my mom or my grandparents as a small child wasn't weird at all.
Maddie has been in & out of our bed since birth really.. She usually starts laying down w/ us then she goes in her room- then at 7.00am she comes back in..
She does need us to lay down w/ her to fall asleep- but honeslty, it doesn't bother me b/c it's sweet for us to all "wind down" together at night...
I know she won't be like this forever- eventually she won't want any part of it- same as I eventually just wanted to be on my own..
