babe once you have 2 the 3rd and more are just the same, it is a little hard multi tasking but you will and can get through it..
dont listen to others horror stories its not all that bad, of course your going to have days where you wanna bang your head against the wall but its normal lol
Gl hun with ttc no.3 and just think of your beautiful family with just the extra little bit of work cause its sooo worth it
No different from 2 for us. And we have 3 very little children. I still have to do everything I did for 2 kids, its just slightly more involved (or messy lol). It can be a bit of a logistical nightmare going out on my own with the 3 but I think thats because of their young ages (they are all under 4.5) but still, its doable.
It musnt be as bad as sometimes Dh and I like to make out because we're trying for #4
One of my friends says, that after no.2, its all the same, just more of it, more to love, more to enjoy. We're going for number 3 too, well at some point this year , gl and hope it turns out well for all of us!
For me it has been hard, especially in the beginning. I think it's because it was pretty much three under three.
The hardest part was getting out it took forever getting them in the car it took 30 minutes to put them and their stuff in. Now that dd1 is 3.5 she is much more independent and dd2 is too, they walk to the garage, (downstairs ) and put themselves in the car and in their seats.
I am lucky that they usually all sleep really well and are all good eaters. They are exhausting though, I get up at 7 and don't stop until 9pm by the time the house is clean and washing done.
I wouldn't change it for the world though. I love watching them all grow up so close and we laugh a lot each day.
I had 3 under 4, I did find going from 2 to 3 a bit harder but I think it was just that there was more work.
The biggest thing for me I think was trying to keep up with the washing, I really had to make sure I was at least every second day. Seems to be never ending in that department. The car can get annoying at times just putting 3 little people in and out etc.
But other than that it really is great, I have 3 boys and they all get along really well (most of the time)
When DD (bub #3) was born, I used to say "I didn't know what busy was until I had #3!", and it's true, life has been WAY busier with three. BUT as she's gotten older it's all gotten much easier (or maybe I'm just used to the chaos now? ). Having three is awesome! The dynamics are great to watch, they can choose who they want to play with. It's so rewarding when you see them all playing nicely together and giving each other hugs and kisses .
Subscribing because as you can see I will have 3 under 3 1/2 by October and have NO IDEA what I am in for. All the prep at the moment involves small things like new car and bigger house!
I had three little men under 15 months and am now pg with #4 which will make it 4 under 3&1/2. You have good days and bad days and you will always have people trying to talk you out if it. Do what feels right in your heart. One more child to love is not a bad thing! Good luck!
I think needing to move made it more stressful for us, Ds was in the loungeroom along with the kids toys and trying to move with a refluxy baby was chaos. Luckily I all ready had a big enough car.
I have a routine of getting washing on as soon as we are up followed by the dishwasher.
It's just getting settled into new routines that is the tricky part.
