Baby room

We ve just bought a new 3 bed and we are fighting about this before we ve even moved in. My husband wants to make the 3rd room into "his study' and a TV room. He wants to put in a sofa bed. (He does not work from home and has no real purpose for a study other than studying or doing the occasional admin. There is a living room where we will have a TV).

I want to make it a room for our 10 month old. His argument is that we co sleeping anyway and therefore she doesn't need a room. But she is the most important person in our lives. Its the house that she ll have her childhood in, ofcourse she ll need room. We need to do everything we couldn't do when we were pregnant, because we were renting. We need to do a cute nursery for her to grow up in. She can have her naps in her room. She can play in her room. Her books and her changing station can go there.
He is saying, that if I really wanted one I can just use the 2nd room. But this meant to be the guest room. And we can't exactly put a child's floor bed onto this room and expect guests to sleep in it. So he said they can just use the sofa bed in the other room then. But the guest who stay over for us are our elderly parents. Particularly his (who are abroad) who have all sorts of pain. I really dont think they ll be comfortable on a sofa bed for like a month.

I personally think 'his study' (still dont understand why he needs one and why i dont need one, or a dressing room or whatever) can be part of the guest room. And the baby should be given the smallest room.
