the world of 3 children. she found out today that she's pregnant. Who here deals with more than two and do you have any tips besides kiss my ass goodbye...hahah joking.
I come from a three kid family. It's a good number- not a big family, but not a small one either. Just right. Congratulations.
I come from a 4 kid familiy, where the youngest is 5 years younger then the next older one, so we were three for a long time, and I'd say, I would never want to have less siblings, We had a lot of fun, and in a way it trains you a lot of things you need in life
Second babies are the hardest to transition to. Third babies tend to be easier, you just tuck them under your arm and go. I know there are exceptions to every rule, but third babies tend to be jolly sorts, maybe because they're born knowing mama's time is short! Almost every body I know who was expecting a third worried and fretted about how they were going to manage, but were happily surprised at how pleasant and easy third babies are. The drawback is you can forget to really pay enough attention to that third baby, they tend to be very patient and won't fuss until they are very upset. A good sling, like a Maya wrap, is a must! Keep your little one close and still have 2 hands for the other kids. There's an old saying, "One is like none, two is like ten" Once you get used to caring for two kids, you can manage any amount!
i just had my third child yesterday. i was scared as well, but Brighid is right. after 2 kids it's pretty easy. especially in the beginning. you'll be ok.
