Beds won’t let me sleep at night

Omigod MOVING. Moving INTERNATIONALLY. OMIGOD.

So I am suffering many bed-related problems. Do we store/ship the crib with the rest of the stuff? Little Girl still sleeps in it, but she is two-and-a-half, so for how long? Plus she spends half the night in bed with one of us anyway. She’s pretty adaptable so if we had her in the portable crib or just put her in a twin with guard rails at the beach she’d probably do okay (however the prospect of a toddler wandering the house at night really freaks me out). If we don’t store/ship it, we have to get rid of it, as we’re certainly not going to air freight it later, and which I don’t want to do, being, as with all of Little Girl’s things, overly attached. But if I’m never having another kid*, why take it to Sweden? If only I could predict the future.

And our bed. So I sold ours with this theory that it would be cheaper if it weren’t included in the shipment, and thinking we could just get another in Sweden. Turns out the cost (something that’s just unbelievable, by the way) differs almost not at all, and the size bed I want–king–isn’t actually available there. (The only place I can share a bed with my husband and not get bothered by him is the beach house, and I finally figured out this is due to the bed’s being king-sized, so that’s what we’ll need and why I sold the queen.) The biggest they have is a queen, for practical purposes. So now I am faced with the prospect of buying a king here and shipping it with the rest of the stuff, creating the possibility that I’m the kind of idiot who ships shit from IKEA to Sweden. Gah.

* I do want to try someday, but this recent miscarriage makes me dubious about results.
