My mother had 5 and she said the same thing. It was harder to go from 1 to 2 then 2 to 3 and she worked FT in the city with 4 out of the 5. The 5th one she was home until he was 2.

I can't answer your question since I only have 2, but just wanted you to know you're not crazy (or not the only crazy one!) as we contemplate it often as well. I have flip flopped as to how close in age I want them but I think I'm settled on not trying until next summer. meaning if all goes as planned, they would be 3 and 4 years apart. Chaos can be fun, right???

Re: How did #3 change your life?

I have to admit the beginning was crazy and we still have some crazy days when the older 2 are looking for my attention but I do LOVE it!

Things just had to become more organized. I was "pretty organized" with the other 2 but there can be no more "Pretty Organized" The only way to get out of the house with them andsd on time with everything they need is to make sure I have them packed up the night before and their clothers are already out for the morning. I'm sure you'll be fine. I think of it as "Millions of other mothers have done this so then I can too."

Re: How did #3 change your life?

#3 really didn't change my life too much because my #2 is still in a car seat, and diapers so I was already in that stage might as well stay in it for another yr Chat Icon But honestly I'm so glad I have him I feel like he makes our family complete.
