too young?

OK my husband and i were talking about our Move to the states etc. We were going to TTC as soon as he gets home from Deployment BUT we just found out that in ft hood we will not get a 4bdr house even if i do get pregnant before our move! they will give us a 3bdr house and have us put both of the girls in one room. But our daughters are going to be 6 (almost7) and two years old so a HUGE difference age wise. So T and i decided to wait with the TTC until we get settled in our new house and see how the girls get along sharing one room. It broke our heart to put our TTC plans on hold but i do not want to force our daughters to live together in one room if its just a ''punishment'' for both of them!. I mean i DO realize that IF i get pregnant the baby would sleep in our room for a while BUT that will only be a temp. thing...
how could we make this easier on our daughters, or make it more FUN to share a room!. any suggestions??

  2. But if you'll get a 3 bedroom house there will be 2 separate rooms? if you want to make them learn to share a room then i would give them the biggest room in the house and have two areas big enough so they don't have a reason to complain lol other than that... i don't think you guys need to put the TTC on hold, you could let them have their own rooms and as soon as the baby is old enough she could share a room with your youngest since the age difference wouldnt be so huge between them two. You also gotta think about it, the pregnancy kills 9 months and then the baby would be sleeping with you guys for how long? a year? then isn't it almost time to PCS again?

  3. With hailey and bells we moved them into their own rooms as soon as they slept through the night ( usually about 4 months) BECAUSE i cannot sleep with the baby in my room.... i wake up to every sound ( even if my husband is tossing around in bed) and with a baby in the room its worse!. we will have to see how everything goes :) i just want to have the option of having the girls in two seperate room but you are right i could have the newborn and hailey share a room but only IF its another girl i dont believe in putting two kids of a different sex in one room ( just my opinion)

  4. I agree on not sharing a room if it opposite sex but you never know you can end up w.3 little princesses!!!! I don't think you should have Annabell and Hailey share though. Age difference is pretty far apart and it will only cause more stress and fights for you. Especially when Bells has friends over/cleaning/watching tv/homework. But at the same time she can learn to adjust if need be. Talk to her about it after Tom comes home and see what she has to say. Doesn't necessarily mean you will do what she wants, but it shows her that you are concerned about her feelings in all this move/change. I shared a room w.my little sister for almost 14 years and we are bestest of friends. We had our fights and disagreements, but I will/would have done anything for her.. hope I helped some.

  5. Thats exactly how is see it ''MamaCrowder'' i talked to a few ladies that currently live in Ft Hood, and they said i will get a 4 bdr house if i have a doctors statement ( thats how it is here as well) so we are back on track with our TTC plans BUT i will make sure and Call housing in Ft hood first to get an official statement KWIM?

    oh and i did talk to bells about the room situation she would LOVE to have her sissy in her room BUT that could change once she is actually in her room lol....
