Our babies shared our room, too; between 6 weeks and 2 years each, depending on the little. It was wonderful, and I'm happy to realize that even though circumstances "forced" us into those sleeping arrangements, I wouldn't have had it any other way.Maurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842561589741133873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-13592109416877156292012-08-09T06:39:09.553-04:002012-08-09T06:39:09.553-04:00Did exactly what you did and do not regret it for ...Did exactly what you did and do not regret it for a minute.Only when a baby is sleeping on you at night can you forget about how uncomfortable you really are!

For some reason it does not bother me in the least our 2 boys share, but now our 2 girls are going to share and I feel bad. Maybe b/c I never had to share, or most kids in suburbialand (our neck of the woods!) come from 2.2 kids/family and don't have to share, but now my large family does - jealousy I suppose- ridiculous of me! I must remind myself of the families living in one room shacks on dirt floors...<br />anyhoo, your baby's space is perfect - so blessed to have such a loving/happy/big! family!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747348333672077153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-31976406460502486632012-08-08T20:59:44.138-04:002012-08-08T20:59:44.138-04:00"By today's standards". Just like wi..."By today's standards". Just like with everything else in mothering, it can be so hard to pull myself away from the idea that thing have to be decorated in a certain way as if every other mother in the free world outfits her nursery with a consult from a stylist at Pottery Barn. It is so fun to have a pretty place for a baby, but that space that is most important is that space between our body and theirs, don't you think? <br /><br />P.S. I don't think I would every add ball fringe to anything, but I smile to see it in the details of your home.LizzyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741996410810417892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-9324381946499176392012-08-08T16:24:19.367-04:002012-08-08T16:24:19.367-04:00Great post!

Can I tell you how many people asked us if we were moving - or rather expected us to move because we didn't have a separate bedroom for our third. Crazy.

I love your practicality. We have two and I'm due with #3 at the end of November, while we have four bedrooms one is currently being used as storage because we don't have a garage or basement. I'm panicking because we have not yet set up room for baby. <br /><br />I know baby will sleep in our bedroom, but that doesn't last long for me. Ellie was adopted so she spent months 3 through 6 with us in our room and by the time Grant turned 3 months old I was more than ready to give him the boot. He was such a noisy sleeper (sucked on anything he could get in his mouth, except for pacifiers) and any move I made he could hear or smell, because he'd wake up hungry even if I had just fed him. <br /><br />Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in the near future. We have never met in person, but have spoken a few times over email and we do live relatively close. I'd like to help if you need it. I know how those last days can be so anxious and hectic.<br /><br />Happy wishes!lalalovely lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02784028366193433594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-84366626184662085902012-08-07T17:23:25.161-04:002012-08-07T17:23:25.161-04:00It really is the simple things.

I didn't even bother unearthing the changing table (although looking at yours, I wish I had, but my chair was more than adequate for the job). Its amazing how much "stuff" you don't need for a baby and I'd say the same for toddlers and beyond. My house is still filled with clutter that none of us needs. The simplicity of your home is so inspiring. I keep procrastinating while the clutter piles up and I keep thinking I need to pull myself up from my bootstraps and get some of the work ethic you describe that your father has and get to it, little by little, pile by pile.<br /><br />thanks for all the inspiration and also the chuckle on the blog title.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059542061229594857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-21481445947233318582012-08-07T17:07:38.723-04:002012-08-07T17:07:38.723-04:00So perfect!

He sleeps in his own bed now just fine and is probably our best sleeper (he's 10). Then, when we had our 2nd I was all ready for him to sleep with us and he wanted NOTHING to do with it. He would sleep in his crib or nothing. Our third slept wherever he could find sleep and our fourth will ONLY sleep in her crib. I'm like you, I don't care. They can sleep wherever they choose and as long as everyone is sleeping we are happy. Oh, and we miss having a baby that will sleep with us.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532179448195187397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-77463619201237059862012-08-07T16:02:18.279-04:002012-08-07T16:02:18.279-04:00You have the best perspective, as always.
