How much crazier does it get when you have another baby after twins?
For BTDT, what factors need to be considered? Like getting a mini-van, time management, etc.
Also, how did having another baby affect the bond between the twins? Especially if you have b/g twins.
How was it being pregnant while taking care of twins?
We are just in the "considering" stage.
And would also like to talk to others who are considering it!

Re: How much crazier does it get to have another baby after twins?
My twins were 18 months when I found out i was pregnant.
We were not trying...it was a bit of a surprise. (actually a shock but a good one).
We got a mini van. Do you have to have one...no but it makes it sooooo much easier. We take trips to Florida, north carolina and vermont often so for me it was pretty much a necessity.
Being pregnant with twins wasn't to bad. I was just sleepy in the first trimester otherwise wasn't bad at all.
It has not affected their bond at all. They were unphased by him. Now it is so cute watching him crawl after him and giggle when they are being silly together.
I will say having 3 under 3 isn't "easy" . I never found twins hard...I took them everywhere alone and never complained. Now there are some things i can not safely do alone and it is frustrating to me.
Life is busy....I work mon thru thurs and the weeks just fly by. My house isn't as clean as it used to be I used to always be early for everything...now i am late. Finding time to shower when you are alone is tough. Some days are just insanity.
However i wouldn't trade it for the world....love my crazy little trio.

I agree with all of this! Except I didn't get a minivan. I just got the radian carseats so I can fit all 3 across the 2nd row and still have my 3rd row free in my SUV.
