We are keeping A in her room and the baby gets the spare bedroom.

LO #1 stayed in her room and LO #2 got her own room

I moved DS into a different room.

My DH thought it was silly but we were having a DD and I wanted her to have the bigger bedroom since girls have more "stuff" - I figured once they were older it would be harder to switch!

We're planning to move LO to a different room. It's next door to her current room. We've already put together her full sized bed and have some old toys in there. When I get ready in the morning or when I'm upstairs putting clothes away/changing sheets she goes in the "big girl room" to play. I thought it would just be easier to leave the crib in the nursery with the dresser/changing area set up. Our stuff is plain and white and very neutral

R will move into the guest room (so we won't have one) and then baby #2 will get her room.

@Smurfette: I think that's what we'll do too!

We're doing the move today, right now, actually! LO1 is moving to a new room and the nursery is staying the same since it is closer to the master bedroom. He's 17 months now and really doesn't understand why I just put him down for a nap in his new room

@mrsjyw: our plan is to leave both in one room while they are both in cribs and diapers (changing table). Depending on how long it takes me to get KU with #2, this may never happen.

If #1 is like 3yrs old by the time #2 arrives, then we will move him into his own toddler room and leave the nursery as is for #2. It is gender neutral enough that if #2 is a girl, all I'll need to do is add accents of pink here & there.

We are keeping DS1 in his room (it's bigger) and using our guest room for DS2.

We are debating this. I think it's just so easy to keep the nursery the nursery and move DD into a big girl/toddler bed in a new room. But then I get nervous about the transition.

@Adira: well first nap went like this. Nurse at 12:45, cry until 1:00 (the really sad sounding kind...) sleep until 1:30 cry until 1:40 sleep until 2:30. I didn't go in at all. I'm not sure whether to call it a success or failure. A normal nap is 1-3 or 4.

@Adira: yes, I was debating but decided were going to go all in on this transition. Hopefully it will help him adjust sooner.

@Adira: thanks! I'll let you know how it goes tonight.

@Adira: night sleep went awesome for the first night of the transition! He cried for 5-10 minutes when I put him to bed and then slept through the night with no wakeups and he's still sleeping now! Really couldn't have gone better.

I just wanted to add that to prepare for the transition we played in his new room a lot the last few weeks and I've done all of his diaper and clothing changes in there so he was pretty comfortable with the room ahead of time. Good luck to those of you that plan to switch rooms for second LOs!

We've decided to keep M in her nursery so as to be the least disruptive to her. She knows the room as her room and even though it's the smallest bedroom she's too small to care about that right now. When she's much older we'll move her into her permanent room which is the 2nd largest bedroom.

New baby will move into his/her permanent bedroom which is across the hall from M's current' bedroom.

L will be 18 months when baby #2 is born, and we are moving her into a new room regardless of sex. It's just more convenient to have the baby right next to our room, as opposed to having the baby all the way down the hall. Plus, L has started to wake up to our noises as we're getting ready for bed or getting ready in the morning - it will be good to get some distance between our walls!

I think we will keep #1 in his room and give #2 their own room.

Lo will move into the guest room (make a big deal about her big girl room) and then baby will be in nursery.
