Hi Karen! I thought the same as you...I'm picking up my baby this weekend and the temp has been steadily dropping. I am very fortunate to have a small room just for my baby. While she will spend most of her time in my arms, for those times when she wants rest or potty when I have to leave for short spells, she'll have her room. A baby gate is the only door, so she won't feel isolated. Inside is a large, cozy den with plenty of toys, as well as a Potty Patch that I picked up at PetSmart. As she gets older, I will start moving the Potty Patch closer to the front door, until we are eventually all the way outside to potty. This isn't a full-time solution, but will work well during freezing temps or rain. I've used this method for housebreaking a pup before and had great success with it. Enjoy your baby! Sounds like you've prepared well!
