Three's a crowd

The Challenge: We have a 3 bedroom house, there are now 5 family members. Somebody is going to have to share their bedroom. My end goal is to have at least one baby-proof room for Jonas to crawl around and play in (right now there isn't one) and for all family members to keep their blood pressure below stroke level.

 Let me run through the possible scenarios:


1) Abby shares with Beck, Jonas has his own room.
This is perfect for Jonas. Baby friendly room, nap time and bedtime on his own schedule. This is the worst option for the blood pressure factor. Abby and Beck are like fire and gasoline, you have to keep them separated or it gets explosive.

2) Beck shares with Jonas, Abby has her own room.
This is the perfect scenario for Abby. However, Beck is extremely hyperactive and I can't trust him to be alone with Jonas. The boys wouldn't complain about sharing a room right now, so there wouldn't be bickering but baby safety goes out the window. Beck is fidgety and loud, so we would have to wait for him to be fully asleep before putting Jonas to bed.

3) Abby shares with Jonas, Beck has his own room.
Jonas would eat multiple Littlest Pet Shop pieces. Abby would bring federal charges against me for mental anguish.

4) All three kids share a bedroom, and turn the other bedroom into a play room.
Abby would hate this, because she couldn't possibly patrol both rooms at the same time. Jonas would either choke or get stepped on, and Beck would have 3 options for jumping on the bed.

5) We save our money and add a room on to our house.
By the time we come up with that much money, Abby will be leaving for college.

If Adam and I didn't share a bedroom, we wouldn't have this problem.
