This isn't firsthand experience, and it won't make you feel better, but my minister told me that 2-3 was the hardest. I was saying that I found 0-1 much harder than 1-2 and he agreed, but said 2-3 was the toughest because the kids suddenly outnumber the adults.

I don't have 3 but everyone has told me 2-3 is the hardest. You'll be okay though, lots have come before you and made it to the other side!

It was just more of the same.
After two I was used to dragging a ton of stuff and navigating nap schedules.
The hardest thing is figuring out how to get door to door safely. Who is in the stroller. Who is in the carrier. Where each car seat goes.
Honestly it's just the logistics of navigating how to move three little bodies safely. With that age gap you'll have two non-verbal kids. My middle is 22 months now and while she has tons of words her listening sucks. Now that the baby is walking too the two of them run in opposite directions which is so painful. Add in a willful three year old and it's a circus. We only go places with double shopping carts, fenced in playgrounds, etc.
It's crazy but so so much fun. I love having three and hope to have a fourth in a year or two.

My third is only 6 weeks, so not a ton of experience yet. I found going from 1-2 to be the hardest but my oldest was only 20 months at the time and we had recently moved and had no friends or support network. DH returned to work at about 1.5 weeks and worked long hours. My oldest was not in school or daycare either so it was all me all the time. That was really hard!
With my third, my older two love to play together and keep each other entertained. They are also in school 2 and 3 mornings a week so I get a break with just the baby. Plus we have more friends locally and they have done a meal train. These things have all been a huge help and made it so much easier than when my second was a baby. Just the fact that the two older ones have built in playmates alone makes it easier.
As far as the close age gap, it is so worth it. I love how close my older two are and I actually was a little sad that my third has a bigger gap (although it's only 2 years, 4 months so not a huge gap). My oldest has no memories before his brother which is both kind of sad and amazing. There is no jealousy between them and they always want to be together.

We have 2 children (1 and 5), and usually have a 3rd child in foster care (we are a foster family). Each time, going from 2-3 is different. In one case, it was much easier, in 2 cases it as much harder (including the situation we're in now with our foster daughter), and in 1 case it really wasn't much different, except for car seats and logistics. A lot REALLY depends on the personalities of the children and how well they play together.

Following as baby #3 will be here in a few short months! Everything I've read has said that going from 0-1 was hardest, so I'm hoping that's true. I wasn't worried about 3 at all, but now I'm starting to get nervous. Mostly as we will have a 3.5 year old, 2 year old and a newborn. That's a lot of little kids!

@MrsB2012: My oldest turned 4 days before LO3 arrived and LO2 is 2. Having the 2 older ones so close in age has made things easier, I think.

My BFF has 3 - all 24 months apart (ie 4-1/2, 2-1/2, baby). She has just carried on. She came home from the hospital with #3 and ordered pizza and did the dishes that night.

Logistics is an issue for them because they're anti-minivan, but they got that sorted out easily enough. Only once has she called me from the edge because all 3 were crying at once. This month she flies solo with all 3 to Vegas! She's a rock star!!!

@oliviaoblivia: agree. Jsut more of the same.

Juggling naps. Number 3 sleeps on the go a lot.
Feeding times. We are getting better at saying no to every snack request and just doing meal times.
Bed times. We are still staggered so it takes a long time but everyone gets alone time with a parent.

I'm only a week and a half into 3.
So far 1-2 was a rougher adjustment bc lo1 had a really tough time adjusting. Now the oldest 2 have each other and it kinda just continues for them. But it has been rougher physically. I think I just got too little sleep and too much effort the last few weeks of pregnancy and have just crashed from tiredness and gotten fever and mastitis already. Luckily my mom could stick around and DH had a little time off bc with this many kids there's still A LOT to do.
