I went from 1 to 3 with 18mths between DD and the twins . Our original plan was for 2 and we got a bonus baby and to be honest I'm happy nature made the decision for us to have 3. I am happy that my boys will always have a bond with each other and with DD close in age hopefully they will all be really good friends growing up.

I've heard the jump from 1 to 2 is harder than 2 to 3, but I can only say that going from 1 to 3 has it challenges for sure but the positives far outweigh any negatives .
