I have been thinking lately, where are we going to put the baby? lol..we have a 3 bedroom house and each of our boys have there own rooms. So depending on what the baby is, I will put the boys together if its a girl, If its another boys the 2 youngest boys will share. Do any of your kids share?

Right now, our oldest 2 share a room, and Tallulah is still rooming with DH and I. But we are in the process of buying a house that will give each of the girls a bedroom of their own. For now at least. I'm not sure what we'll do once the bab-ies comes, but there will be some room-sharing involved.It's a wait and see for us as well.

We will have our children share rooms until they are a little older (plus 2 of the bedrooms are up very steep stairs so we are wanting to keep them downstairs for now). My two boys have a room together and my daughter has a room to herself. We will have our newest little one in our room for sometime and then we'll figure it out after that. Just depends on if it's a boy or a girl really.

In the house we live in now they will have to share. But I think its a good thing for them to share. It also makes them closer in my opinion.

We have a 3br and our boys share. Neither one of them sleep all night in their room so its mainly a playroom. Our extra bedroom is used for the computer room and for guests when we have them

We have an older son (13 1/2) and he has his own room. We only have a 2 bedroom, but the "master" bedroom is quite large. Right now we share with our daughter and have it sectioned off with book cases so she really has her own "room". We are going to remove the bookcases and put our bed in the middle with Summer on one side and this little guy on the other. We are going to do some fixin' up here at this house and put it on the market (after trying for 12 years, these little guys are a surprise) and look into finding at least a 3 bedroom. Hopefully, a 4, but we will have to see what we can find in our price-range.

Right now, I am planning on putting the two little ones together even though they are a girl and a boy - I figure that won't matter for a few years, and by then Skyler will be old enough to put in the family room or even get his own apartment (though I would worry about him - he is special needs, but able to live independently). Hopefully we will find a 4 bedroom or a house that has some acreage for a little mini-guest house to be built on the property for him or something. Again, I feel like we have some time to worry about that later.

So, loooong story short - we will put the little ones in our room for a while, and then we will move them to the other bedroom and Skyler to the family room if we are still here in a couple of years. I shared a room with my older and younger brother until I was 7....(they were 9 and 5 before we had a 3 bedroom house).
