I am currently 18 weeks and 2 days into my pregnancy. I live in a 2 bedroom bungalow with my boyfriend of 3 years and we have his daughter (who is 5) every weekend.
As I get to a point in my pregnancy where I feel an overwhelming need to start arranging and organising the whole house (nesting I guess!) my worry comes to the childrens bedroom. It is currently occupied 2 days a week when my stepdaughter comes to stay overnight at the weekends and we also have her over one weekday evening per week as well, it is a very small room, and she has lots of things! However, when my baby arrives the room will eventually have to be shared (which my stepdaughter is actually very excited about!) but I am having a major panic about space, and how on earth we are going to fit in a small child, all her things and a baby with all their things. We are not going to find out the sex of our baby, but luckily my stepdaughter is very easy going so decoration etc is not a problem (we are thinking of woodland or seaside).
I need some advice on how others have managed, and any tips on what we can do. We don't have very much money but i am prepared to get crafty if need be! I enjoy a bit of DIY and am fairly creative so would enjoy making things. How do you cope with storage, bedroom arrangement and space etc?
