I definitely didn't regret having #3, or #4 for that matter!!! It is hectic and chaos most of the time, but when they all play together (nicely, without fighting!) it warms my heart, it really does. Plus, they have a lot of love for each other and quite often will go and cuddle one another, just because they feel like it. DD2 is getting to an age (19 months) where she plays pretty good with the others, they love running around in a circle with music playing - they chase each other and are all in compete hysterics, its so funny.
Of course they fight, and whinge and complain - but they are fun most of the time.
I have to say though, that I can't wait till they are "kids" instead of baby, two toddlers and a pre-schooler. You can do SOOO many more fun things when kids are older than when they are babies!!! So I can't wait till that day
And I'm glad I had mine close together - because when DS starts school next year, I won't be waking any "baby" up in the morning to walk him to school because she will most likely be on one day nap in the middle of the day so I won't be disturbing her sleep. If I had waited until the kids were older, then I would have to disturb her routine and I hate disturbing sleeps cos it leads to cranky, sooky children... well in my house it does.. LOL!!!
I say go for it It was by far my easiest transition - 1 to 2 kids was really hard for me, but 2 - 3 was easy, and 3-4 is litttttle bit trickier - even if just the huge amount of washing I have to do!!!
