    Oh wow congrats! dont't know if you remember but we were in the same belly buddies group!! I personally would puyt them in seperate rooms, our oldest 2 share a room now and we have 3.5month old twins that share a room so I think room sharing is a great idea but for a newborn and toddler i think if you have the option not to share i would take that option., just for ease with day sleeps, baby being asleep and toddler wanting things out of room etc etc

    Thanks so much for your wonderful advice!

    I think the plan is to clear out the spare room and set up the room for the baby. She will probably sleep in our room for the first little while anyway, and then we'll see how they are both sleeping. I'll probably be able to ask ds what he'd prefer by the time dd is ready to sleep in another room too. I am an only child so if they want to share when they are older I am totally fine with that, I would have loved to have some company. As long as they aren't waking each other up!

    I can hear a garage sale coming...

    Hi Jas!!! Wow, 3.5 month twins? Huge congratulations!!! So nice to hear from you

    No way... DD was 2 yrs 11 months when DD2 arrived. Even now I wouldnt even consider it. DD would be up all night wanting to play with her/touch her/kiss her.
