So dh and I were thinking about baby #2 after LO turns 1. Here is the situation; we live in a two bedroom condo so it is already cramped with the three of us. We plan on buying a house within the next two years! I hate living in the bay area so expensive, that is a whole other story! Ha! We have the money for baby number 2 and I just got a new job which requires way less hours! Dh travels a lot for work so I needed a change! My thinking is I don't want to not have a baby bc he it she wouldn't have there own room. Would you have baby number 2 if your house wasn't ideal and your dh traveled a lot? Thanks!!

I think it's fine. We have more than 2 bedrooms, but we have the kids share a room because there's only one additional bedroom on the main floor and we don't feel like traveling up/down stairs with young, needy children. It works out fine.

We have two bedrooms and a loft. We use the loft as an office. We easily could have converted it to a bedroom, but chose to have our two children share a room instead. We're hoping to move in a year or so. We knew we could handle more than one child in our current home since it's temporary.

Yes, you have got to love the bay area It's so expensive! I am kind of in the middle, I like the boys not sharing a room because they go down so easy every night and sleep all night long.  I think if they shared a room my oldest wouldn't go down like he does.  But, if you really want a baby maybe you could just use a crib or pack in play in your bedroom until you move or the kids get older?

I can't say for the traveling DH part, but we live in a 2-bedroom condo as well and as you can see from my siggy, we decided to make it work for our family of 4. We're also planning on buying a house (which also happen o be crazy expensive in our neighborhood) within the next 2 years or so, but we're prepared to keep the condo longer if we have to.
