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.

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!
-
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.
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.

My sister she had twins and then a single. I can ask her questions if you have them.
-
@brownie: wow! 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!
-
@tequiero21: I might?! I'll know Monday. Until then I'm stalking mrs blue & mr strains blogs.
-
@tequiero21: I had a friend that had twins and then a single. She said it was a breeze compared to her first one since there was only one baby!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: haha I'm dying for Monday to come around!!!
-
@singingbee: that's what I am hoping! Haha
-
@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.
-
@brownie: omg 4 kids! That's my ideal number but honestly, I think I'm done after this one!
How's the twin with leukemia? Is that curable? Poor sister. She must have been soooo stressed.
-
@tequiero21: Congrats mama! So happy for you!
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

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.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: So exciting!! Can not wait for you to tell us.
-
@Kimberlybee: haha problem is I never had the transition between 1 and 2!!
-
@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.
-
I knew a five under five. One set of twins.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
@babycanuck: u know, I really believe the generations ahead of us were so much stronger hahaha. Holy smokes @ 4 under 3. I think I may just die a lil if I have 4 under 3 lol.
