I know what the jump from 1 to 2 is like, how is the transition from 2 to 3 kids? Is it as hard as 1 to 2, the same, or is it even harder?
We are pretty sure we are done, but I think we both still wonder what it's like when you decide to add a third.

I think this may totally depends on the age gap and when you ask the question. Three little ones close in age is SO tough. But it'll be easier later. But having more of a gap would help. My oldest is five and the transition hasn't been too bad with her. My middle is only two and while the transition has gone fine, it's just a lot of work with two in diapers and need help eating and rocked to sleep etc.

As i mentioned in the iPad game thread...
Two to three is so much easier. You're already in the weeds so it's just more of the same. We call the baby the equalizer. Whenever my big girls fight the little one comes over and they stop to coo at her. She is clearly the preferred sibling.
Mine are almost impossibly close together and, yeah, it's tough some days but it's equally amazing. I love having my three tagalongs and I love the feeling of accomplishment when I get them out of the house and back by myself. I feel like supermom approximately 75% of the time and like I've lost my crackers 25%.

If we have a 3rd any time soon I am blaming you.....Bahhahaha you always sound so happy 
@oliviaoblivia 
We are not in the 2 the through camp yet, but think we want a bigger gap
#1 and #2 are 22 months apart.
I say maybe try in 2 yrs? We will re-evaluate then!
