[quote=Anonymous]We live in a 3 bedroom house.  DC1 is in a much larger bedroom, and at some point we plan to transition DC2 to share that bedroom with her.  We're due in ~6 months with DC3, who will sleep in our room the first 4-5 months, but eventually move into DC2's current, smaller room.  Should we move DC2 before or after the baby is born?  I don't want DC2 to feel like the baby is kicking them out of their room, but I'm also afraid that the transition to roomsharing will wreak havoc on our sleep and don't want to deal with that earlier than we need to.

We also need to transition DC2 out of the crib (they're capable of climbing it out of it and do so safely so it's mainly laziness that we haven't converted it into a toddler bed yet).  Should move DC2 straight to a big kid bed in the new/shared room or do the crib-to-bed transition in the current room first and move DC2 once they're adjusted to staying in the bed?  We won't buy a big kid bed until they move to the shared room.[/quote]
