running out of space with baby 3 coming in

[Nourishma]

Our situation is that we have 4 year old ds, 20 month old dd, and baby number 3 coming any day now. We have a king sized bed where dh, ds, dd and I all sleep together and no more space for the new baby.
We tried to transition ds to his own bed when I found out I was pregnant. We moved a twin bed into our room and after sleeping in it for half a night, ds decided he didn't want to sleep in it again. Dh is feeling like he is going to be the one pushed out of the bed and is not super pleased with this idea.
I feel that it would be a really bad idea to force ds into his own bed, I don't want him to feel kicked out by the new baby. DD still nurses some at night and is nowhere near ready to be in her own bed.
We don't really have the funds to invest in a co-sleeper right now, so the only thing I can think of is to try and push the twin bed up against the king and see if I can get someone to sleep in it.
I am looking for ideas I may not have thought of, or opinions on what would be the safest order of people if we did push the twin bed up to the king.
Anyone?

Maybe see if DS and DH would like to co sleep together in another bed/room. That way DS won't be alone and DH won't feel like the only one kicked from the family bed.

That said, I also think the twin bed up against your king bed is a great idea. In our house we have a crib sidecar and that's were DD sleeps. Its getting a little small for her and we are looking now at buying a twin mattress to replace it.

I would either put the new baby on that bed, then you, then your nursing DD, DS, then DH. Or put DH on the twin, DS, DD, you, and then new baby (as long as the wall was up against new baby's side).

We are lucky because our room is the exact width of one king size bed and one twin sized bed. So the bed hits three walls exactly and no one is stuck on the edge.

My dh and I are not large people, so take this for what it's worth, but we actually all fit fine in our king size bed when #3 made his arrival. We had actually been in a queen up until I was very pregnant with #3. We slept with my DH on one side, my oldest then the toddler then me then the newborn.
