I strongly recommend working out some seperate rooming arrangements. 
While some babys will sleep through *ANYTHING* others will wake up at
the slightest noise, and others will vary from sleeping through to waking
up with out warning.

The reason that I make this recommendation is that during the 1st 6
months babys make demands on their parents at all times of the night
(and day :-).  Parents thus want to get as much sleep as possible.

Another consideration is that all people make noises in their sleep,
babys are no exception.  If you are a very light sleeper, or are overly
concerned about these noises (most new parents are.... I was ) they
prevent a good night's sleep.  If the baby really wants you or has a
real problem, don't worry you will be the 1st to know.

Having a crib in the living room would not be such a bad idea.  The baby
could then play in the crib (like in a play pen) in an area where you
spend much of your time.

Good luck and congratulations in advance
