We have been busy over here trying to figure out how we are going to rearrange the bedrooms to accommodate 3 kiddos. Nobody wanted to move upstairs and the kids bedrooms aren't very big. After much prayer, deliberation, worry, and discussion....we have decided that Maddie and Turner will share a room and the baby will get its own. Since we don't know what we are having, that seemed the best option. Later on, we can switch up, or ideally move into a bigger house or Maddie will feel comfortable enough with going upstairs. I am really kind of sad about the whole situation and am just praying that the kids will adjust easily and that Maddie won't feel like she isn't important. Turner's room is a little bigger and has a bigger closet, so that will become their room. We are going to completely change it and hope that they are both happy with the end result. I just don't want Maddie to feel like she is sleeping in "Turner's room". I really hope they will look at it as "their room".
Today we ordered bunk beds which should be here in about 2 weeks. I tried saving the picture to post on here, but it wouldn't let me. Another challenge has been finding bedding appropriate for both a 6 year old girl and an almost 4 year old boy. They both said they wanted the room painted yellow, and I found this bedding online today at Target. I think it will work for both boy and girl and they both seemed to like it. Next up is trying to figure out how we are going to place everything and what toys will need to go upstairs.
Please pray for us as we go through this transition. I just want happy, healthy, well adjusted children who love Jesus and who are ready to welcome their new brother/sister with open arms and without any resentment!!
