First, since the baby isn't even born yet, you'll still have a lot of time to do whatever you want before he/she/it starts toddling into your room at night. As for having your kids see you naked, I think many people have various opinions on this subject ranging from ABSOLUTELY NEVER, FROM BIRTH TO DEATH. Others (myself included) tend to be a little more reasonable. Some think that it's not bad for kids to see the parent of the same sex, but probably shouldn't see the parent of the opposite sex. THat's the way it was in my home when I was growing up. I guess I've carried that on with my daughter. As for kids coming in in the middle of the night, you can either wear jammies or else make it so that the kids can't get in without some warning. I have a bell rigged up in my daughter's door-way so that if she comes out I'll know about it. This is partially so she doesn't catch us in the middle of various activities and partially because she has a tendency to wander around the apartment in her sleep. I'm not sure it's the perfect solution, but it works for us. Good luck with what you decide. -- Sarah E.
