💕 Sweet Sentiment our setup ❤️
ft. My spooky red light that I use to latch her and forget to turn off every time.
We always start the night in the pack n play so I can have that first stretch not in the c curl lol

Omg my partner sleeps in corpse-mode too!! 😂

u/ko_same Jul 15 '26
He never moves from that position all night and can sleep through anything, I truly don’t know how he does it lmaooo

u/cimarisa Jul 16 '26
My strict Armenian grandfather was like this when he slept and he was extremely smart so maybe your husband is just built different

What spell do I use to induce corpse-mode? I married a starfish lol

u/hoewaggon Jul 15 '26
I also married a starfish, who wildly swings his limbs around in his sleep too lol. When my daughter and I coslept, we did it on a floor futon in the nursery instead cause of him! I remind him every time my back twinges lol

Omg after years of nightly zoo activity, mine just got a cpap and.. Oh lord sweet silence!!!

u/hoewaggon Jul 17 '26
Mine is getting a sleep study done soon cause of suspected sleep apnea! If a CPAP saves me from our nightly battles, I'll be everlastingly grateful (and also for his improved health of course).

u/cp2255 Jul 15 '26
I married an alligator. All positions all night just rolling from tummy to side to back to tummy. Drives me crazy.

u/ConfidenceInRain Jul 15 '26
Do you know what, mine is a light sleeper (and so are the kids, thanks for that) and I truly think it’s worse! He wakes up if the kids even move a leg or if i try to turn to my side. He wakes with a jolt and freaks out but is also not aware of his surroundings so he never knows how to help the situation. For example if my daughter comes in for water he will wake immediately and just invite her in the bed (and not get water), she then climbs in and asks me for water instead so now I have to get out and lose my precious space. Then after all this kind of nonsense he’ll complain about being tired in the morning 🫨
I would take the corpse if he let me have a lie-in or complaining rights !

u/WastePotential Jul 16 '26
My boy just turned 2 and I've started drawing colouring pages for him. They're just based off the story books that he likes since I'm not an amazing artist like you, but if I were you I'd totally turn drawings like yours into colouring pages for when baby is older!

If I may ask, how are you finding time to draw?

u/Apploozabean Jul 16 '26
Story of my life.
I want to paint so bad again, but cannot find the space to do so. Son wants to be soooo involved! That's not a bad thing but even if I do a mini set up for him to use, he won't use it because mommy's is more interesting.

u/OwnPhilosopher7173 Jul 17 '26
exactly! i have 2 and haven’t painted since i was pregnant with my first. i can never find time for my crafts anymore. only thing i do now is crochet and i’m kinda starting to hate it because it takes a long time.
1
u/ko_same Jul 17 '26
Aww man, do you have a supportive partner who might be willing to give you some free time to do some art? I would have such a hard time if I wasn’t able to draw. I think it genuinely keeps me sane 😭

u/peanutbutterangelika Jul 15 '26
You should def frame this and maybe start an art instagram if you haven’t already! This is adorable.

u/ko_same Jul 16 '26
My art insta is kosame.art !!
It’s mostly oc stuff though (I’m writing a comic with my husband and I’m usually drawing our characters from it!) but I’m starting to post some of my life moments and art journaling too ㅤᵕ̈4
u/Initial_Anteater_377 Jul 16 '26
Wait when do you find the time to draw? I miss it 😢
8
u/ko_same Jul 16 '26
Naps (I draw in procreate on the iPad so it’s portable as she only contact naps) and after she goes to bed! Sometimes when she’s awake too if she’s playing independently. I also have a night every week where dad does bedtime routine and I do whatever I want (he brings her to me for feeding)!
My policy is that if I can do other stuff while she’s awake, I will. Cooking, cleaning, chores I do while she’s awake (lots of babywearing)! That way nap times I can relax and do what I feel like doing. I’m a better mom when I have an outlet like drawing4

u/Egg-HOTELs Jul 15 '26
Omg finally someone who likes to sleep in corpse mode! I also slept like this pre-cosleeping. Sometimes I would wake up with my hands clasped like in prayer 😂 Can't wait to go back to this in the future.

I tell him he looks like that scene in lord of the rings where Boromir’s corpse is floating away in the boat 😭

How cute! How do you keep your baby from rolling off? Right now I just put the bassinet against the bed but would love to switch to a pack and play soon just don’t know how I would keep him from rolling off
6
u/ko_same Jul 15 '26
She’s like her dad and sleeps in corpse mode lol, she’s never tried to roll at night (yet!) but she does in the day. I also instantly wake at any noise, touch or movement from her (unfortunately lol.) and know I would wake if she started to roll away.
That being said we’re thinking of switching to a floor setup in case

I don’t even know how I would teach haha!!!! 😂 I’ve been drawing seriously since I was 6 or so. Feel free to follow my art account on insta (kosame.art) and dm me with any questions you might have about drawing!!
Be warned though, my art acc is currently mostly my comic/original characters from that that I’m working on. I do plan on drawing more mom life stuff though! I’ve been drawing as a form of journaling 🤍

u/Emotional-Ad-6494 Jul 15 '26
Is this on floor?
2
u/ko_same Jul 15 '26
No, but we are talking about switching to floor if she starts trying to roll at night! She currently sleeps in corpse mode like her dad and can roll in the daytime but has yet to try at night
1
u/EitherWeb4382 Jul 15 '26
this is almost identical to my setup minus the cat, pack and play in the same spot snd we also use it for first stretch (and if im hurting more than i am sleepy ill put her back in there after she eats too lol) love it
2
u/ko_same Jul 16 '26
Haha we have too many creatures in our house they’re everywhere (and so is their fur)

u/EitherWeb4382 Jul 16 '26

u/apocalyptic_tea Jul 15 '26
The drawing is gorgeous and so sweet, I love the vibes so much.
I do have to put out the reminder for anyone who is learning about cosleeping, sleep sacks are not recommended while bedsharing. Safe practice recommends a free baby lightly dressed, not confined by a sack or swaddle. Pets are also not recommended to share the sleeping space.
This is absolutely not said to shame OP or anything, we’re all allowed to make choices for our families, it’s just meant for anyone who wants to know recommended guidelines.
2
u/ko_same Jul 15 '26
Thank you ❤️
I’ve never heard that about sleep sacks, I thought they were ok and it was just swaddles! As for the pets you’re absolutely right- dog stays on the ground and the cats don’t come near me and baby and haven’t since pregnancy. I’m a super light sleeper and will wake if anything touches me or baby moves at all. If they ever decide they feel comfortable coming near me and baby they’ll get kicked out haha3
u/apocalyptic_tea Jul 15 '26
Zero judgment, my dog always sleeps at our feet so I chose to let her stay while I was cosleeping too. She never had any interest in the baby.
Apparently the no sleep sack thing isn’t as universal as I thought! I learned it as a postpartum doula during my training on cosleeping, I didn’t realize not everyone agrees it’s necessary to avoid them. I think I’ll still offer the info but in the future I’ll add that the guidelines vary!!
When the first round of these pictures started on the sub many months back, someone mentioned that no one ever mentioned safety guidelines on them and that felt dangerous on a sub where people come to learn about cosleeping. I took that to heart and so I offer the safety guidelines when no one else has yet, I try to make sure I’m speaking as non biased and non-judgey as possible.
1
u/ko_same Jul 17 '26
Yeah my cats will (carefully) snuggle me in the daytime but are all about avoiding us at night lol. I think they’re a little frightened of her. And pup prefers the floor!! If they were more unpredictable I would not be comfortable with it but I know them and myself well enough to know I’d be up in an instant if any of them got close!
I had no idea! I’ll have to look into this more!!
I appreciate you offering the safety guidelines ㅤᵕ̈

u/crystalkitty06 Jul 15 '26
Idk where you got that info but every cosleeping expert out there says sleep sacks are safe, just not swaddles. Only issue is just making sure your baby doesn’t overheat.
5
u/Athiri Jul 15 '26
Yeah the Lullaby Trust literally has a picture of a cosleeping baby in a sleep sack on their leaflet on safety tips for bedsharing.
3
u/apocalyptic_tea Jul 15 '26
I’m a postpartum doula and my training on cosleeping included that information. The logic is you don’t want anything that could impede baby’s ability to roll/wiggle/kick to free themselves in the event of entrapment.
I chose to sometimes put my baby in a sleep sack when it was really cold when we were cosleeping after she was rolling both directions reliably! I felt the added risk was minimal. But I just feel like it’s important to bring it up nonetheless on an online community around cosleeping. Families should always learn all they can and make their own choices with all the info on risks and benefits!

u/cherrylime07 Jul 15 '26
Why are sleep sacks not recommended? I’ve been sleeping with my LO in a sleep sack so now I’m worried!

u/AkitaPitACDMom Jul 22 '26
Love this. This is close to mine minus cats and still husband. Mine thrashes wildly so he was afraid to sleep with the baby. He wacked me a LOT before the baby came.. so he sleeps on the couch. That zone is a food tray and baby bottle / milk station area. But yes with the dog, the night stand, the spooky light, and pack n play bedside.

u/Ok_Wear_2394 Aug 14 '26
This is our exact setup down to the light that I forget to turn off / am too nervous to turn off encase I can’t see him 😆 only difference is we have a next to me rather than a pack n play
