Just gonna put my 2 cents in...
For me going from 3-4 was almost a walk in the park! Granted ds2 has been a MUCH more contented baby which probably had not much to do with his birth order, but he just slotted in with the family (so did all the others mind you!). There is nearly always another child willing to keep baby company and help with him. Plus the older 3 are all old enough to be hapling in other ways to like dressing themselves setting the table going to the toilet alone or even washing some dishes with supervision.
It sounds like youve pretty much already made up your mind and I hope you and dh will be happy and at peace with whatever you decide. Also bear in mind that we can attempt to plan away everything in our lives but it does not necessarily turn out at all like we thought
PS my mum always said going from 2-3 children was the most challenging (she had 4) and I think I'd personally agree with her but they maybe because my #3 is a fullon little firecracker and has been since the minute she was born!
