Holy smokes @ 4 under 3. I think I may just die a lil if I have 4 under 3 lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1338448 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 19:56:47 +0000 babycanuck 1338448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice to share but my grandmother had two sets of twins in less than 3 years, so 4 under 3, and that was in the 50s as an immigrant with no family to help :) Plus I don't think back then she knew she was having twins either time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337750 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:39:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 1337750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but my mom had 3 under 3, the first two being twins. She says that after the twins her single baby was a breeze, and that she just decided to roll with the chaos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337746 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:37:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 1337746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My good friend has one LO who is 2 and identical twins that are 1 - they are 13 months apart!! She is doing great with them. She had a lot of help from her mom when the twins were born which saved them I think! They also live in an 900 sq foot 2-bed condo! They are hoping to move to a house this spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337705 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:20:39 +0000 jedeve 1337705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew a five under five. One set of twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337591 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 11:38:52 +0000 singingbee 1337591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: her twins were older when she had her third, I think around 7, but she was like, "I would have ten more I I knew they would be singletons!" Because to her it was so much easier. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337524 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:42:13 +0000 tequiero21 1337524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: haha problem is I never had the transition between 1 and 2!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337514 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:35:38 +0000 Kimberlybee 1337514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: So exciting!! Can not wait for you to tell us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337511 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:34:43 +0000 Kimberlybee 1337511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a good friend from church who has 3 under 3 and they take all 3 of them to church! The dad seems to be really involved though. He is always with the oldest one who is about to turn 3 very soon. I have heard her say before that the transition from 2 to 3 is not as hard as 1 to 2 so you'll have to let us know if that is true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337501 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:28:15 +0000 twinmama 1337501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: Congrats mama! So happy for you!</p> <p>A friend of mine had one, then twins, and I think honestly it's been a harder adjustment than the other way around would be. I think she has trouble getting out sometimes with all three, but I think in your case the littlest could be babyworn and then the bigs could be in the cart/stroller. You are already a seasoned veteran, you will be awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337483 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:08:35 +0000 tequiero21 1337483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: omg 4 kids! That's my ideal number but honestly, I think I'm done after this one!</p> <p>How's the twin with leukemia? Is that curable? Poor sister. She must have been soooo stressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337469 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:01:51 +0000 brownie 1337469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I think they are 2 years apart. She has a fourth now and one twin had leukemia so she's had it a little rough and they are all alive. The twins are 6 now, the girl is 4 and the baby is 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337460 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 09:57:43 +0000 tequiero21 1337460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: that's what I am hoping!

I'll know Monday.

How far apart are the twins and lil sibling? She's surviving, so that's good news! Lol. I don't even know where to start with questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337092 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 22:52:14 +0000 brownie 1337092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister she had twins and then a single. I can ask her questions if you have them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1337086 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 22:45:51 +0000 SAHM0811 1337086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, since my kids will be 6 yo and almost 3 yo when #3 arrives, but I have a few friends who had 3 under 4, and 3 under 5, and they all say the transition to 3 kids wasn't bad at all since they were so conditioned to multitask well with the first 2. It also helps that the older two have each other to entertain themselves.</p> <p>It was tough for me to go from 1-2 in the beginning partly since it was still a while before #2 was old enough to interact with #1, so #1 still needed a lot of my attn while I had a newborn to deal with too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1335916 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:11:02 +0000 GrapeCrush 1335916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only got 2, but if we were planning on a third, this could be a possibility since mine are 15 months apart so far. My mom had 3 kids in ~29 months. She said it wasn't nearly as bad going from 2-3 as she thought it would be. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-3-under-3s#post-1335789 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:42:48 +0000 tequiero21 1335789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know mrs. Train is one (and I plan to look back at all her blogs).... Anyone else? Anyone else freaked out a little once the initial excitement wore off? Lol. </p>
