Where to put the new baby?

My husband and I are stuck on where to put the new baby and I'm hoping to get some outsider opinions.

Option #1: Keep E in her room and put baby in the guest room; keep the guest bed in the guest room and move baby to our room when we have guests(Pros: Bed for whomever is up with baby to crash in/Cons: Further from our room; would have to deconstruct, then reconstruct, crib in order to move it)

Option #2: Move E to guest room and put baby in E's current room; move guest bed to bonus room (Pros: Would not have to do much to baby's room; could make E's room a playroom, also/Cons: Bonus room temp. is not easily controlled; would have to decorate/paint 2 rooms vs. just one)

What do you all think? Has anyone had success of having a nursery/guest room combo? I'm leaning more toward putting E in the guest room (it's bigger, she'll be going to a twin bed, the baby would be closer to us), but then I think it might be nice to have the bed in with the baby for those late night BFing sessions. I don't know! Help!!

    I might be confused, but could you move guest bed to bonus room and make guest room the new baby's room?  This is what we did, and the bonus room is now playroom/guestroom.  DD1 is keeping his room as is and our guest room has been transformed to new baby's room.  If that's not an option, I don't think it would be too big of a deal to have a guest bed in the new baby's nursery.  You could always leave the crib in there (rather than deconstruct, reconstruct) and use a portable crib or pack n play in your room if you have guests.  The frequency of guests might help make the decision for me.

    I wish I could help you more but im having the same delimma when its our turn to welcome #2.

    I LOVE having our guest room, but I also want to make Drew a Big Boy room soon. Its time. But ill lose the  guest bed and i know we'll have visitors when the new baby comes. So where will they go?!

    Hopefully youll come up with something soon, but I understand your pain. GL!

    We had a similar situation because of weird laid out rooms here...we left DS#1 in his room (I wanted to change as little as possible for him) and put DS#2 in the guest room/combo room. When we have guests we move him in with DS#1 (when he was still itty bitty he was in our room when we had guests) but now the boys like to share a room some, so that's where we put him when people are in town. Granted, that's not a lot, so it works for us and like a PP mentioned, we just set up the pack and play in DS#1's room and leave the crib where it is...works fine for us.

    GL!
