L.E.
Yes, you’re right. Lots of time in bed and sleeping more deeply. But as yet I haven’t wet in my sleep - I tend to do so just as I’m drifting off to sleep or wake slightly in the night, seek the reassurance of my nappy being in place and then do so. Perhaps as I become more and more used to the ‘normality’ of my new status I may relax enough to do so in my sleep. But in reality, I’m a long way off being comfortable with that thought - once you start down the path to uncontrolled wetting then there’s no turning back and I do also enjoy my adult life.
And in truth my little one is aged about 2½ so I’m at the age where we’ve considered discussion of potty training during the day – or at least the pleasure of lots of failed attempts! Not at night though – I don’t see me being out of nappies in the foreseeable future.
At the moment I do sleep in a normal bed. We have had discussions about the possibility of a cot, but I would miss waking up to being cuddled by Daddy. On the other hand after the trip away when Daddy was very cross with my behaviour, it was one of the measures he threatened to implement. He does also mention it occasionally when I’m resisting my afternoon nap. Having said that, once I’m finally settled in bed I tend not to get up except on those occasions when my nappy is soaking wet and I can’t sleep because of it. Then I might wander downstairs to Daddy to ask for a change.
All that said, at times I really do like the thought of waking up and viewing the world through the bars of a cot – it would literally give me a whole different perspective on life. So maybe we will try it one day.
