CaliMommy's description of her baby girl to be's lavender fairy room made me very nostalgic- I did really pretty rooms for each of my girls
(although, dd #2's room was a bit more gender neutral (the musical Lennon parade, with purple and celery walls
) But they did each have brand new rooms waiting for them when they came home from the hospital. Now dh is freaking out because there is no empty bedroom for this baby- we have 4 br, but one of them is his computer room. He thinks he needs to move everything into the garage (he has a small biz doing networking, and other PC stuff for other businesses) and there are usually 4-5 full systems in his room at any given time, plus shelves full of components he sells on ebay. Anyway, it would all fit in the garage, but I just don't feel the need for this baby to have his own room waiting like I did for the girls. As it is, our 4yo sleeps in our room every night in her toddler bed- this is after we bought her gorgeous oak bunk beds last Christmas
- and my almost 2yo does still sleep in her crib in her own room. But I know the baby will be in our room in the pack n play right next to the bed for a long time, and I really think my girls will wind up preferring to share a room than be alone. I used to think it was mandatory for all children to have their own room, but now that I see my girls, I can see that not every child will want their own, kwim? I just am not freaking about it like dh is :LOL and wondered what you all are doing for baby rooms this time around?
