    tali- omg yes... i have questions dont you worry... how did you find the jump from 2 to 3?

    Sorry I have taken so long I couldnt get onto BB yesterday and have been busy this morning with prep stuff...

    Anyway I guess I should have really looked at the age gap of you kiddlets 1st as I can only really speak for my age gap which is 3 yrs so 6 yrs between 1 and 2... The biggest thing I had to get used to was school drop off and pick up as DS was in 1st year and DD2 came half way though, so she had to work around us not us working around her... this has made her a very easy going baby one who would learn to sleep when ever where ever....

    I cant say I found the jump too bad ( hence why we are going again... ) I found that number 3 not just mine but alot of friends I know with 3 will also say this... Its almost like number 3 just slips into your family...

    I always say to those who are thinking about 3 this...

    Your 3rd child is born knowing its the 3rd, as while in tummy it can hear all the noise on the outside so come out knowing that it has a place in the family... While you were UTD with #1 it was nice and quite and only the sounds of mum and dad... #2 it was nice and quite as lets face it when you have only 1 there isnt much yelling going on.... But when #3 is on board they hear a LOT of noise, as 1 and 2 are fighting you are yelling at 1 and 2 to leave each other alone and so on and so on, so #3 comes out knowing it isnt alone in the world so learns to sleep though anything learns to defend itself very early on...

    Everyone who meets me and DD2 will always say gee you can tell she is #3 lol I think that has alot to do with me been quite laied back so dont stress to much if she picks something of the floor to eat, hasnt harmed her yet she has been the heathest bub I have had.... Best of luck TTC # 3 they are a compleat joy....

    Dash... The best way of telling a DH about the next baby I actully heard from it hear but LOVED it and will use it when I am UTD with #4....

    Take a picture of yourself and put it in a card and write....

    Cost of card $ 2.50
    Cost of photo .50 c

    seeing your face when you realise there are two of us in this photo priceless....

    Well I like it anyway.... Goodluck tonight....


    Just checked the age gaps so alot of what I said will apply to you with school/ prep next year

    tali- thats great that card thing about telling hubby about the next baby wish I could of used that, but my hubby already knows I might be pregnant anyway.

    Well I am going from 2 little people to 3, and my youngest is only 8 months so I too will have 2 babies to contend with, and a very bossy 3 1/2 year old! I want a 3rd but it certainly is a big decision especially when your going from a girl and a boy to a 3rd child cause your not actually still searching for the girl or boy you didnt get. We wont be finding out the sex this time either cause it truly doesnt bother us now.

    so yay for us going for no.3 I am very nervous and excited too!

    hey there
    we are TTC #3.
    will be our 2nd together, as my hubby has a son from a previous relationship.
    he is 8 and our little girl is 16 months.

    we are both excited about trying
    i am currently 4 days late but feel like death warmed up and am starving all day. so who knows but all my HPT's have been negative,
    i work with dr's every day so will see what they think tomorrow and maybe get a bPT done.
