Heather, Fuzzy is soooooo cute. He is a Rott and the eyes make you melt.....lol. I have a king size bed.......and my son has shared it with me since birth. My husband and I do not sleep in the same bed, let alone the same room. Alex (my son) used to sleep on me when he was born. I was worried about SIDS - I knew every breath he took. Now my bed is up against the wall - lined from the bed about 3/4 of the way up to the ceiling with stuffed animals. In between him and I are some pillows because the animals have to have someplace to sleep close by us [shaking head] and they can't sleep alone because they're scared of the dark.

Alex has his own bed, but because of someone I won't mention, he is always worried that I won't be there the next morning or that I am going away. He used to hear that all the time when I was working esp. when I had to work late. He waited up for me every night or fell asleep on the couch. He wouldn't go to bed without me home.

Yes, Alex and I have many long conversations at night and we listen to the sounds of the ocean and stuff while we go to sleep. When I was in the hospital it was very hard for him - me too for that matter.

Every morning I am greeted with hugs and kisses from him and ALL the animals in the bed.......needless to say, this takes awhile .

Everyone here is very supportive and patient.....I feel so whiny these days. Thanks Heather, for caring.
