I wonder that too Jen. I still want a fourth, but wonder what I would be in for.

It really isn't that bad actually, you kind of find your families rhythms. And I have zero expectation every day - if we make it to the end of the day with everyone alive and I'm still sober its a success
In all seriousness I find the older kids far harder than the baby. Crazy as it sounds. Every day I pick one thing that is going to happen - a chore or an outing or something, and if we do that then I'm happy with that. Anything else is a bonus. Yesterday was a great day, no one fought and I managed a trip to spotlight and the shops with minimal drama. Monday we took the kids to the royal show and had no problems (shock horror). Today was a mess, they've fought and destroyed the house and I yelled pretty much all day lol
For us once we hit three kids it was nothing to add more kids after that, they just slot right in like they've been there all the time.
