My husband and I decided that our girls will share a room. The principal reason is that we only have a three bedroom house and we use our guest bedroom enough to warrant not giving it up for an infant.
For the short term, Emma is sleeping in our room in a Rock N' Play Sleeper. This makes night feedings so much easier. My only problem is that the changing table is located in the girls' shared bedroom across the house. If I have to change Emma in the middle of the night, there is a high risk of waking up Molly. Translation - trying to comfort two crying children at 3 in the morning. Not my idea of a good time. Solution: turning my Pack N Play into a changing station. I purchased a Pack N Play that has two levels for the sleeping surface when Molly was born. Some versions have a dedicated changing station. When Emma was born, I set it at the highest level, put all of the changing necessities in a basket and voila - instant changing table. Is it a little low - yes. Is it better than waking up Molly - absolutely.
Cost: The cost of the basket. I already had the Pack N Play.
