I know this is a personal decision but I'm just wondering if there are any factors to consider which I've missed.
I have DS1 (nearly 5) and DS2 (nearly 2) and DD due in February. We have a four bedroom house. Bedroom 1 is ours. Bedroom 2 is quite big and has DS1 in it, in a double bed which we want to keep. Bedroom 3 is medium with DS2's cot in it. Bedroom 4 is a box room, currently used as a study / dumping ground.
We could convert the study to a bedroom for DD. I'd miss it because I work from home regularly and there is nowhere else obvious to put things like the printer, shredder, stationery and filing cabinet. I could get around it though by decluttering and having a pull down desk in our bedroom.
Or we could put DS1 and DS2 in together. It would just about fit DS1's double bed, a single bed for DS2 and a small wardrobe. I'm not sure whether they'd disturb each other though or whether DS1 would want/need privacy from his siblings. DS1 seemed excited about the idea when I suggested it.
Putting DS2 and DD in together is not a great option because neither of our current children were good sleepers as babies and I expect this baby to be the same.
We plan to move house in 5-10 years' time. A loft conversion or extension is not an option with our house.
