if this lo is the same gender as your older lo/lo's are you planning on them sharing a room later on or each child gets their own? We have a 3 br house and a 2 yo dd who is still in her nursery. I'm thinking if this lo is a girl- we will plan to design dd's big girl room to accomodate 2 beds or bunk beds later and allow the 3rd bedroom to become a playroom when the baby moves out of the nursery....thoughts?? if lo is a boy- they each get their own room and the toys live in the general poplulation....

Our house is a 4 bedroom and we want three kids. The 4th bedroom is teeny tiny and will suffice as a nursery, but won't last too long for a big kid room. But it will buy us 5 years or so before we'd need to worry about it. I have no problem with my kids sharing a room, but our goal is for everyone to have their own. It was nice having my own space as I got older, though I know that's a long way away.

No matter the sex of this baby, they will be sharing a room until we move out of this house. We will be here for 4-5 years, so DS will be 6-7 and LO will be 3-4. We have the room for them to have separate bedrooms here, but I'm loathe to give up our current set up of having an office and a playroom, since I'm in school and need to study. I like that DS can be in the playroom with his toys, but I can be in the office working and still able to hear him and see him, but have a little separation so I can concentrate.

Plus I think that sharing a room is an important life lesson.

We plan on moving in the near future and hopefully sooner rather than later build a house. We would like everyone to have their own rooms.

We have 2 girls already and are planning on being team green this time around. Our house has 4 bedrooms (1 is an office and WAY too small for a bedroom) so right now DD1 is in her own room downstairs and DD2 is in the nursery. Our plan is to move DD2 down with DD1 and they will share a room. We plan on doing some cool bunks or something and the baby will just get the nursery and stay there. We don't really plan on having more children as space will be really tight after this one arrives. I'd love for them to each get their own room but with our house the way it currently is, there really is no way to get around the two girls sharing a room.

Amanda&EricB · November 2012

I think it depends on our space. I don't mind them sharing a room, if I have another boy. I think in their childhood years it's not a bad thing (I freaking love bunk beds!!) but when they get older, and hit puberty/teen years, having their own bedrooms would be nice.

ITA! I think its important to have an office/guest room/whatever and to have DD and LO share. Plus, we cosleep, so its not really a big deal. We may do floor beds when LO gets old enough.

They're sharing a room no matter what. At this age it's no big deal in my opinion.

PrimRoseMama · November 2012

Yep they will share. It doesn't matter if they are same sex.

jldubb0626 · November 2012

We're doing separate rooms regardless. I liked having my own space and so did DH growing up. Besides, the bedrooms aren't that big and there wouldn't be room for two cribs.

sophie206 · November 2012

We'll have LO #2 in our room for the first 3-ish months and then hopefully we will be in a new home. If we are still in our current home, then they will have to share after that. I'd like separate rooms for the first year so that the baby doesn't wake DD up.

luvmyducks · November 2012

We have a 4 bdrm. They will each have their own room regardless of gender and then we will convert the office to a office/guest bedroom. The living room is the play area.

CarlaAndJames · November 2012

We'll start with them separate but once they are both our of cribs I'd like them to share. I loved sharing with my sister. In fact, there were 4 of us and we often ended up all camping out in one bedroom together! I'd much rather have a dedicated playroom than each having their own bedroom when they are kids.

HBGroz6912 · November 2012

We have a 4 bedroom, but 3 kids. So all our rooms are taken. I have 3 boys right now, and if this one is a boy it will share with DS3 since they'll only be 1 1/2 years apart. But I will have to switch them to the biggest room cause he is in the smallest room right now. If by chance we have a girl, I am not sure what we'll do. Maybe have them share for awhile until DS3 gets old enough to go in with DS2 since they are 2 1/2 year apart.

JenLynn09 · November 2012

They will be sharing a room. We are moving in April to a bigger place but they will still share.

aichandaich · November 2012

We have a 3 bedroom house right now. Although I would love to keep the third as an office / my closet. I just don't see it working out that way. DD is a super light sleeper and I don't want two awake babies.

kmc217 · November 2012

I have 2 girls now and we have three bedrooms so DDs will share. DD1's room is huge, though and actually has a separate small bump out that we use as a kid's library so we will likely put DD's bed in there so at least they have a little privacy with the caveat that DD1 has to share the big space (her main bedroom part is big enough to hold 2 full sized beds, a desk, dresser, book shelf AND room to play). We have an unfinished room off of DD2's current room and may finish that in the future.

futuremrssmith7 · November 2012

Ours will hopefully be sharing. We only have 1 other bedroom on the same floor (currently DS nursery). The nursery isn't overly large so we will be moving a playroom either upstairs or downstairs. Our (only) extra bedroom downstairs is not reliable enough for heat from Oct/Nov - April so we want to keep DS across the hall until he's a bit older or we move. Once we move, it will be up to them to decide if they want to stay in the same room or not but we will have bunkbeds/extra room for when cousins come to town.

TDSin2009 · November 2012

We have 4 bedrooms in our house and plan on both kids having their own rooms. We are done having children after #2 and will likely plan on staying in our current house until e children have grown.

We are moving DD into what used to be our guest room and LO2 will use the nursery. DDs new room is a little bigger than the nursery but I guess she gets the bigger one because she's older! We plan on using DDs new room as a mini playroom as well since its bigger and has space for extra toys. Our normal playroom is incorporated into our family room but I'm looking forward to getting some of the extra toys moved upstairs into her new room! Our 4th bedroom is much smaller than the other two and is already DH and my home office since we both do a lot of work from home. It would be nice to have a separate guest bedroom but when we have guests, well just set up the office or one of the kiddos rooms with the aerobed!
