I thought this after having my first child.  I wanted him in the room but
felt I was too hyper aware of him to sleep with him directly the first few
months, since I was so nervous being he was so small and all....

When my daughter was born and would NOT sleep unless she was on me, I
quickly learned I was not really that hyper aware.  ;-)  I always thought
I'd go insane with a baby only willing to be put down for diaper changes.
It isn't that bad.  and now on the rare occasion she does nap 5 minutes
without me, I feel naked!
