There is a crib that converts to a toddler bed and a twin bed in bedroom 1. Eventually it will be a shared bedroom between the kids. The newborn will be in our master until DS is old enough to move to the twin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315524 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:04:14 +0000 lavender 1315524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds good to me. We have 4 bedrooms, one for us, one for M, one is on the first floor off the kitchen that we use as the playroom. Baby #2 gets the spare bedroom. If we have #3 then m and baby #2 will be sharing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315518 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:03:42 +0000 littlek 1315518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a 4 bedroom house. LO will stay in his current room, new baby will move to open room and guest room will remain the guest room. All rooms are large and have their own bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315500 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:01:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1315500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOL M does fairly well with change. Bedroom #2 is HUGE. I think it's actually slightly bigger than ours. She will be so lost in there right now as her size! For now we'd rather keep that room as a guest room / office until she's older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315493 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 21:00:37 +0000 Weagle 1315493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on room sharing until LO gets quite a bit older or a #3 comes along. Her "big girl" room is upstairs, whereas ours and the nursery are downstairs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315486 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:59:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1315486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whew! So much to think about!</p> <p>We have a three bedroom house, and all the rooms are relatively small. Our future nursery is the smallest, and I think we can get away with a twin bed and dresser in here -- but that's it.</p> <p>*IF* we have twins, we'll likely move Chloe to that room &amp; put two babies in her current room. I plan to use her crib, too, so I worry that this is a lot of change and adjustment for her. It doesn't seem fair, and I'd like the transition to be a smooth as possible. Chloe is not a big fan of change.</p> <p>If it's one baby, then nothing needs to change. </p> <p>Does M adjust well to change? I'd worry that it's a lot of moving around for her. Can you just put her in the largest room to begin with? That way, she doesn't change from Room #4 to Room #3, then to Room #2 when she's older! ... and put baby in Room #3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315473 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:58:58 +0000 Bao 1315473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will leave A in her room (the bigger of the bedrooms), and baby E will get the other room. A will still need her crib though, since it converts eventually we will turn it into a toddler bed and then a full size bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315445 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:56:58 +0000 chopsuey 1315445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Makes sense to me!<br /> We didn't do any moving around when we had #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-keep-lo-1-in-their-nursery-when-a-2-arrived#post-1315430 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 20:55:45 +0000 regberadaisy 1315430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 4 bedrooms in our home. 1 for us obviously and M is currently in the smallest bedroom (we'll call bedroom 4). The bedroom next to us is the biggest after ours, bedroom 2. Across the hall from M is bedroom 3 the third largest.</p> <p>I don't think we are buying a new crib so new baby will need m's crib. My initial thought was to move M across the hall to bedroom 3 because it will comfortbaly fit a twin or full plus other furniture. Then new baby will get bedroom 4 as his/her nursery.</p> <p>Eventually when M is older she will then be moved to bedroom 2 and LO #2 into bedroom 3. Seems fair that the oldest gets the bigger room? LOL</p> <p>But then we thought why move M at all? Why not just keep her in bedroom 4 and move her to bedroom 2 when she's much older. Use bedroom 3 (across the hall) as #2's nursery and #2 will always remain in bedroom 3. Seems to be less moving around. But only a twin will fit comfortably in bedroom 4 and i'd much rather buy her a full for long term use.</p> <p>Thoughts? If you followed along, kudos to you!</p> <p>Did you do you plan on moving #1 when #2 arrives/d? </p>
