I did a little search for tips about sharing one bedroom with a baby and came upon some great articles. This one from the New York Times was great. Lots of people live this way, just depends on priorities. For us, we value our time together and the low cost of living associated with our mortgage. If we bought a new place, it would mean more income/work required and therefore less time together. Also, with a big home the family can all be in the house, but never actually spending time together. Lastly, the clutter/stuff thing. I think when you have less space you become more intentional on what you buy and bring into the home.
God’s really given us contentment with being here. When we first found out we were expecting we thought (well, more I than Ben) that we’d need to move. But now we’re set up and pretty cozy. Sure, things might become a pain when we actually are a family of three, but we’ll have to just cross that bridge when we come to it. 🙂
Sarah, for one, digs small space living and cramped quarters! 🙂
