Nothing really changed in my house when I had DS 3, my first 2 boys are only 16 months apart and have a great friendship, so if anything when I had No 3 they had each other for company so didn't really notice if I wasn't giving them as much attention. As number 3 got older he just fitted in with the older boys (he thinks he's 6 too). It did help that No 3 was an easy baby. Although now that the older 2 boys are both at school I can tell that he is quite lost without them.
I'm interested to know too. DH said he could 'go' for Number 3....but I have a few pre-requisites first. 1. Got to be back in Australia 2. I've got to be under 40 and 3. Kids have to be at school already!
DS doesn't even like his Sister NOW....let alone another brother or Sister. I am also not sure I'd want DD to be a middle child...you know the stigma attached to that one...is it true!?
When dd2 was a baby it was great, even though it was 3 under 3.
However - ds and dd1 had always been the best of friends until dd2 started getting older and now ds rarely plays with the older two girls, they just fight.
Dd1 and dd2 play a lot together. Except if we have a friend over, then they usually shut dd2 out of her room.
So in my case, it changed everything and put ds on the outer so to speak, but - and this is a huge BUT - he is the only boy and at that age where he wants to play on the wii and not play with dolls. So it probably would have happened anyway.
