My LO has always slept in his own room, apart from a few nights at the start when he wouldn't settle (and I just wanted to cuddle him).

It was our plan to put him straight into his cot, but he was just too small for that when he first came home. We have a nice rocker that we ended up putting into the cot and he sleeps in that. At 11 weeks, he is about to transition to his cot because he is getting too big for the rocker!

I will second what someone else said- you might be surprised at how much you actually want to co-sleep when you get them home. I have always been very much "your space/ my space" kind of person, but when LO came home, I just wanted to be close to him all the time! I figured this seemed pretty natural and as much as I could I balanced this with also wanting him to learn to sleep by himself.

Good luck, you will love it!
