I actually had a very hard time cosleeping with #1, because I had this 
crazy idea I had to be in a very specific position relative to her and I 
would lie in this one position all night, and be very sore the next day. 
(When I say "crazy", I really mean that in hindsight that was a totally 
irrational notion. I have no idea where it came from!)

By the time I had #2, I had already realized that my wierd sleep habit 
with #1 was unecessary, so I slept MUCH MUCH better. I think it also 
helped that the weather was warmer with him, so I didn't have to worry 
as much about blankets. I was much more relaxed.
