    mine are 41/2....2 and im 28 weeks...this one was a surprise....

    I have been wondering the same thing actually...every one keeps asking if this is my first and when i say third and the ages.....all i get is WOW YOULL HAVE YOURE HANDS FULL...........REALLY!!!!!!! lol

    I think it will be easier with dd41/2......im a bit worried about DD2......she is in that toddler clingy stage..and my other daughter is starting to push her boundries being 5..

    Guess there is not much we can do but roll with the punches and do the best you can

    I looked after my friends kids today so along with my 3yo & 1yo, I had a 4yo, 2yo & 9mo. My 3yo was fine, actually was very doting on miss 9mth but my 1yo got so jealous every time I was holding miss 9mth, he'd just whinge and cry. Uh oh! My Miss 3 was very good when DS came along. Not sure DS is going to be so happy about his new brother. I'll have 20mths between each of them. I'm still getting up to Miss 3 and Mr 1 during the night.. I just don't know how I'll manage that AND a newborn. Meh, sleep, who needs it
