Anyone here have 3 or more kids already? I'm just wondering how you found the transition from 2-3. I found 1-2 quite difficult. Mainly because DS1 is probably the least independent child ever and constantly wants our attention so he made that transition a little harder. Now that he's older (3.5) and has a younger brother he isn't nearly as needy. I'm feeling like it won't be as bad as 1-2 but maybe I'm nuts. I already feel like life is in general chaotic.. but it's just second nature now.. how much more difficult is adding a 3rd?

I would like to know that too! My 1st is the same age (3.5) and has NEVER been independent, however, DS2 is completely the opposite, but I feel stressed to the max at times as it is with just two so am a bit concerned about how the jump from 2-3 will be...

My ds1 is less keen to help himself too, must be an oldest child thing. I really didn't want such a big age gap between ds2 & this one but perhaps it's not such a bad thing as they're both excited and understand better now than they would've done when we started ttc in Autumn 2011. I'm not too worried about going from 2-3 it's the moving house bit that I'm hoping will happen sometime this year. We need to sell sooner rather than later really but have only been on the market a few months.

It sounds like our years are going to be similar as I also have an older child (5) who hates doing things for himself, a younger one (2) who is very independent and we are moving house too! Well, moving continent actually but the upheaval is there whether you move a mile or a million. It is weird, before swaying I would have been horrified about moving when pg but now I am thankful that I don't have to worry about the effect it will have on T levels or stress about sticking to LE diet without a kitchen.

Ladies - how are you managing not to tell others that you are pg? We are staying with friends at the weekend and I don't want to lie about not drinking but also don't want to tell so early. We haven't seen them for a few months so I guess I could claim that I am on a health drive but am very skinny after LE diet that people will worry/ try to make me have just one drink. Suggestions? Thanks

Emily why don't you just tell them you are on antibiotics?

I feel like you just read my mind! My DS2 is 19 months and is the complete opposite of DS1 so I don't think he'll really even notice or care about the new one! I like you just already feel stress sometime now, I'm wondering why I was sooo keen on a 3rd

Can't wait to hear from your scan charlee I want to see pictures .

[Charlee]

I am soooo nervous! I hope I have good news and a good pic to bring back I have NO reason to be worried though, not one incident of spotting or bleeding... tons of symptoms... but still, after everything I've been through, I AM NERVOUS!

What did you decide about your scan? Are you going to go before holiday or after?

[Pumpkin2011]

I'll wait until after our vacation. I will set up an appointment tomorrow. I'll be as far as you are now by then thinking that's better. Really excited about your scan right now hopefully I'll be were you are in just a few weeks .
Thinking of you Charlee enjoy every minute

My house is on the market too! For a couple months now. It's stressing me out as we are in another state across the US and now living with in-laws until our house sells and we can buy/build a new one. It will happen!
