Question of the day (QOTD):  (from hocus)

How will your house/apt change after baby arrives?

Obviously, with this being our first, we need to childproof everything! We will also have to control the dog more...not sure how he will react to a tiny baby in the house!

Re: **Jingle Bellies Monday check-in**

  • We'll have two so I'm sure it will be quite an adjustment!
  • Loading the player...
  • Well since we already have a wild and crazy toddler, there is not too much we will have to change.  Mostly I think we will just have to keep an eye on them together as I am sure they will get into plenty of mischief together. 

    My DH dreamed that this was a boy (and he has 100% accuracy rate so far) so I am getting nervous and excited.  I just hope our ultrasound goes well and shows a healthy baby in there!

  • Our house will not be changing much.  It is already babyproofed for our 2yr old, and the new baby will be sharing a room with the 2 yr old.  All we will need to do is rearrange the furniture already in there and buy a crib.  But we are not going to be in that big a rush, b/c the new baby will stay in a bassinet in our room until he/she either sleeps through the night or is too big for the bassinet.

     We are kind of lucky as with 2 other kids, this one will be the cheapest as all we have to buy is a new crib and diapers, we have everything else!

  • We're hoping to buy a house before the baby arrives! We're looking with a realtor on Thursday.

  • Hey ladies! We are actually buying a bigger house and will move at the end of May. I guess the only thing that will be different is the baby proofing thing bc we still haven't done it and also, we'll have two nurseries instead of one! I can't wait to decorate for new baby but I'll have to wait until after s/he is born bc we aren't finding out the sex and I don't want a neutral nursery.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Mostly a space issue.  Our guest room/office will become the baby's room so we have to figure out how to manage the new space demands.  Also not 100% how our husky will react to the new addition!

  • we have to move :) i dont thinkk 6 kids and two adults in a little 3 bedroom would go over very well. 6bedroom anyone? :)
  • that's a good question... but right now I don't een know where I will be when the baby arrives let alone how it will change.
  • we have a two bedroom house, and keep all the doors to rooms closed so the cats just stay in the main areas. it's going to be hard explaining to the kittehs that just because the baby's door is open, doesn't mean you can go play in baby's crib! the other big change is the second bedroom is set up as a guest room right now, we've had people stay there from out of town. don't know what we are going to do with our guests now! ha.

  • Everything in our house will change.  We need to make our spare bedroom into a nursery.  It's currently the dogs bedroom, so that's going to take some adjustments with the pups too.  Baby proofing, the works, you name it.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • We're making a lot of room changes!  We want to keep the nursery downstairs next to our master, so DS will move upstairs into what is now the playroom (across the hall from DD), and we are in the process of finishing the basement into a family room and playroom.  Then of course, we will redo the nursery in a gender neutral theme.  I just hope we get it all done in time.

    The house has been babyproofed forever so at least we have the important things done.

    DD1 - 12.25.05
    (m/c 1.17.07, m/c 5.15.07)
    DS - 03.15.08
    DD2 - 12.03.09
    DD3 - 3.28.11
  • Everything will change.  At this point SD & new arrival will share a room (SD is only with us on Friday nights)

  • I have no idea what we are going to do with our place.  We live in a two bedroom apartment and get so many visitors (family, friends) that we use the guest bedroom constantly.  We may set that room up as guest room/nursery and use it ourselves when we have company.  Also, we'd really like to get rid of the dog crate to make more room, but really need to work on the dog's ability to stay out of trouble when we are not home!
  • We bought a 3 room home 4 years ago, it was/is a fixer upper. Well we completed the downstairs, where 2 bedrooms are, now we have to finish the upstairs so I can have the office/play room up there. We kind of got lazy on the renovations, so we need to get busy again.

  • Right now we have hardwood on the stairs and upstairs hallway & I need to get a runner especially for the steps. My dog cannot do hardwood stairs and I don't see myself worrying about carrying the dog and the baby! Plus, carpeting is safer for me too.

    Other than that - just lots more stuff!! We move all the time, so I wouldn't be shocked if we decided to move again...

  • We are actually looking for a new place right now.  Right now we have a 4 BR house.  One br is DD's room, one is a playroom and one is the office.  We'll probably combine the office and playroom to make room for #2.

  • Luckily we are moving to another state in June so we will be looking for a 3 bedroom house. One bedroom will be the nursery and one will be the guest bedroom / office since I will be working 100% from home once we move.


  • We have to clear out my office/sewing room for the baby's nursery. We need to have a yard sale at some point, we just have too much stuff.

  • We purchase our home 2 years ago and the previous owners had 2 little ones, so there is very little that needs to be done.  We have 2 additional rooms, one as my dressing room and the other our guest bedroom.  Both of my in laws live out of state and come visit us once per year, but we are converting the guest bedroom into the nursery.  I've had a cat for 10 years now and she's super spoil, so I have to get her used to not roaming the house and demanding my attention.  This will be fun!!!
  • Logan will need to share his room until he is old enough to come down the steps at night if needed. I hope it is a smooth adjustment for him. It should be he already likes the idea of having a baby around.
  • oh a lot. our spare room will be the nursery. we need to finish the basement. baby proof. not to mention the baby STUFF that will be everywhere. and getting the dogs to be calmer

  • We are currently in a two bedroom townhome (rented).  We will be turning the spare bedroom/office into a nursery.  We will also need to baby proof, although it might not be entirely necessary since we are currently planning on moving before the baby is even 5 months old.  If we don't end up moving then of course we will baby proof everything.

    Not too worried about our dog or cat.  Might work on refining our dog's training a bit and get her used to baby sounds.

  • We are finishing our basement so that we can move our office in the basement and turn our current office into the nursery!?
  • Well we are still deciding if we want to get a house with more space now or wait a little while longer. Other than that, getting the spare room turned into a nursery and we need to work with Finley(dog) a lot!! he is the master of the house and will not like having his attention go elsewhere.
  • Well, we just moved into our new house in Dec. and hadn't finalized the last bedroom, a.k.a. the Children's bedroom.  We still need to put boxes away and paint it, then childproofing the house and the kitty litter boxes. ;)
  • We are actually in the process of buying our first home! We settle on June 5th, so along with the process of moving in, we will have to child proof everything and get used to it ourselves!!

  • We have an extra room that was an office until we added on.  So we've kept it pretty empty just waiting to make it into a nursery some day!  We do need to refinish the hardwood floors before baby arrives.

  • Our biggest problem around the house will be trying to get DS used to the idea of not being the "baby" anymore. We're trying to start this now, but it's easy to fall into old habits of calling him Baby or Baby Boy. ?Then there's the toy issue. ?I don't know if we have enough room for 2 sets of toys. This could get interesting....lol
  • We currently live in a one bedroom apartment.......so we'll be needing an extra bedroom!

  • babyproofing the house (when we moved in two years ago it was already babyproofed, but we had it the previous owners remove it all because "we weren't going to be having kids any time soon...." how I wish we still had all that now!)  Consolidating the desk/computer/bookcases to fit into our guest bedroom so that we can turn the "office" into the nursery :)

    Feels like we have outgrown the house already and the LO isn't even here yet!

  • We need to declutter in general.  The nursery is currently our spare room storage room and that needs to be cleaned out.  We also need to get the dogs use to new sounds and that the babys room is off limits.

  • We'll need to clear out our guest room and make it a nursery, babyproof, and try to convince the dog that not everything on the floort belongs to her.

  • Just about the same here, baby proof, turn spare bedroom into nursery and work on the dog.  she still bites alittle and jumps alot!
  • When I was PG with DS we were in a heavy remodel so I am hoping to keep the project simple this time around. We will be switching the quest room and DSs bedroom which will become DS and the baby's room. I have no idea yet how I will decorate it. We are cleaning out our garage so I can park in it which will be wonderful. Other than that not much will change.

  • For starters, my husband loses his game room until we get the addition on next year.  And Im sure my house will be packed full of baby stuff, which I am not going to like.  I like to have what I need, however, I dont like to have more than I need, and I have the feeling this is going to be the case and it is going to drive me crazy, im sure of it.

  • Well, we have already finished the basement (sheetrock, drop ceiling, bathroom, bedrooms) except for a few minor touches.  Once we have the safety stairs to the windows (building inspector fire safety rule), we will start decorating the bedrooms down there for my stepkids.  Their rooms will move downstairs and the baby will go into one of theirs (baby has to stay near us).  I think the kids will be into it... we're making it really nice down there.
  • Oh wow...tons will change in this house!

    We have a ton of breakables and sentimental pieces throughout the house. The first time I had a friend over with kids, I looked around and though, "I don't see too much that a kid could get into..." WRONG! My house is SO not child-proofed. I'll probably have to get over the fear of anything getting spilled on my sofa or rug in the living room, too.

    I'm nervous about how our cats will handle the change, too. One of my cats has a tendency to pee outside the litter box when he's p*ssed off (he's got a serious attitude), and I have nightmares of him peeing in the crib or bassinet.
