She's actually offered to sleep on the couch. Two things, first, you're right, I'm sleeping on the couch because I'm being respectful to her. It's my nature I suppose. I'll test and see how she reacts.
also, our daughter frequently wakes up during the night. I've always been the one to get up while W snores away. Since I've been on the couch, W gets to see what its like to get up. I cant hear her cry when I'm downstairs. I'm actually missing getting up and sitting with her at night. W just brings her into our bed and falls back asleep.
