LOL, thanks! You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to draw those :-/
Oh. My. Gods. that was SOOOOO funny. Thank you!
Any story that can be illustrated with stick figures is a WINNER.

Love it! I swear I wrote this exact post (stick figures included, pregnant belly excluded) 3 years ago on my now defunct blog.
I couldn’t agree more!
omg, my cheeks hurt, my stomach hurts. that is so hilarious. so true, but so hilarious.
I slept like that last night because we are staying with friends and CO-SLEEPING SUCKS donkey’s balls. WORD!

yeh, that was an illustration of a visit to my parents gone horribly awry. *sigh*
Oh man, this is so my life right now. And we aren’t even co-sleeping, we just have a toddler who gets out of her big-girl bed nightly and joins us in our bed. Argh. I miss sleeping peacefully.

For the people that this works for more power to you! My oldest slept in my bed from about 15 months – 3 years old not by choice but out of desperation. I moved him to a big boy bed way too early due to a move and his height. He would NEVER sleep in his toddler bed! I am all for your infant being in your room in a bassinet but establishing good sleep habits is good for mom and baby alike!

LMAO this is great, I have a kid that sleeps like a clock. Love IT
That’s ME! Except I am not pregnant and the little person is my husband!!
HAHHAHAHA cosleeping is NOsleeping in our house. I did it for as long as I could. Now the ‘Nut swings in HER OWN ROOM.
Does this work with husbands?

I’ve always been amazed at how one little person can take up an entire king-size bed and get two adults to sleep on the edges. Hence, no more sleeping with Mommy and Daddy in my house.

This is so, so true. The other night I went and slept in her bed so that I could be away from the nightmares, tosssing, turning and snoring. The hubs and the kid are just too much to handle together.
This could also be me…except stretch out that wee little person to an adult and call it my husband…and we have a King size bed…
HILARIOUS illustrations by the way.
You are a vision. And I just woke up my daughter from her nap because I was laughing so loud. :)
aw, yay :-) glad everyone liked this! we do NOT normally co-sleep, this was an illustration of what happened when i took the kids to visit my parents all by myself. LOL. he really did get forced into the crib on night 2. haha.
OMG – You must have a stick-figure camera in my bedroom!
This is a great post, my son has slept in my bed since he was about a year old. He is a sweaty little thing but I miss him when I’m traveling. I tried to ‘ferberize’ and all that mess. I just took the path of least resistance and I have to work so it gives us more snuggle time.
Wonder when he’ll ask to move to his own room? Or, if I’ll end up goin to college with him!
OMG…. I just about peed.
It’s absolute torture.
BAH!!
Fuck. Yes.
Hilarious!!

I have been co-sleeping with at least one child for, oh, let’s see, every night for the last 8 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. This is so true, it kinda makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
that’s so funny and true! awesome artwork too :)
ROFLMAO! Story of my stick person life! :-)
did you come into my bedroom and draw stick figures of me?
theres only one wrong thing with that picture.. Im not pregnant. I just have one crazy two year old toddler princess

LoveLOVELoveLOVELove the pillows on the floor!!!
That is so so true. Each one of my kids have a different sleep condition that causes mommy to get none at all. One talks, one moves, and one like to throw her arm across your face. And of course like your picture you get kicked. Not to mention my pillow stealing husband. I’m not sure how I get any sleep.
Dear parenting fad co conspirators-I hate co-sleeping. I don’t care if that makes me evil. I.AM.TIRED. FORTHELOVEOFITALL-stop making me feel like a crappy parent if I don’t jump through all your “hoops”
