[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd use the nursery as a guest room for 6-12 months. Do you have an "extra" room, like a family or play room? We have a pretty tiny house (3 bedrooms, but one of them we use for our TV and bookshelves, our two kids share a room), and when we have guests, we close off the third bedroom and open up the foldout couch. Yes, it means the TV is not accessible when someone is staying there, but it's not a huge deal. It's just not realistic to expect families in expensive areas to have extra bedrooms not being used year-round.[/quote]

OP here. The nursery is actually the TINIEST room in the house. It's like 8x9. We'd have to move all the furniture out of that room to fit a queen bed in there, including our rocking chair and changing table. And we don't really have room for all of that in our master bedroom. I'd be tripping over stuff piled to the ceiling while I'm up all night with a newborn. Also, I already have a bassinet in my room set up.

No one thinks my inlaws should stay at my parent's home? My parents have 3 lovely guest rooms. All of our friends and their kids stay there when they visit us (although normally my parents are gone on extended vacations when my friends stay there. My parents would be here when the new baby is born so someone can watch our boys while we're in the hospital). They live one block away. [/quote]

That is QUITE the imposition on your parents.  I think it's inappropriate that your friends are staying at your parents' house as it is.  Stop being so cheap.[/quote]

+1. I find it hard to believe that your parents are crazy about having so many of YOUR houseguests. [/quote]
