We upgraded to a king size before DD2 arrived so when DD1 sneaks in, there is plenty of room for the three of us now - most of the time that is
DD2 has recently moved into her cot which is in our room. She's been really content in both her bassinet and cot so no one has been forced to swap places with her yet
DH when he is home spends much of his time in the spare bed.
DD2 starts with me and we are usually joined at some point by DS. I too am guilty of sneaking in with DD1 so she doesn't feel left out. I have a snuggler, a toucher and a pointy kid. Thankfully the snuggler is tiny, the toucher can be placated with a hand hold and the pointy kid sleeps so deeply she really has no idea if anyone is there or not.
DS got a surprise new bed one day when DH was home full time and I (heavily pregnant) had been evicted from our bed into DS' bed...it was the worst mattress on earth!! I went straight down and got him a new one, so I'm quite happy to be evicted now that I know both kids and the spare are great beds to sleep in lol.
DD2 has recently decided she wants to sleep in DD1's cot with her. In the meantime, DD2 has figured out how to get out of the cot and it's also missing a rail because DD1 got her knee stuck in there during the middle of the day and luckily there was a tradie around and he had to saw the rail off. OK, off topic.
So, DD1 and DD2 will either both be in the cot or one will be in the double bed next to the cot or both will be in the double bed.
I will start of sleeping in my room and then get up and go to their room if I hear them. Or DP, who sleeps in a different room (shiftworker) will get up to them. Except he's away for a month.
Or DP and I will sometimes both start off in our bed then one of us will go to their room.
