3 (or 4???) under 3...in need of major e-hugs...

So this morning BFP!  DS is a very active 2.  DD is a very clingy 9 months.  I feel like it's twins.  Don't know why but I just "sense" it.  My husband think so too.  (Either we're just freaks or we're on to something.  I guess we'll know soon enough)

Those of you who've been there with 3 or 4 under 3 tell me: am I going to survive?  I barely made it through the first 6 months of DD's life because of her insane colic.  I had PPD and at times felt like I wanted to die.  It was the most horrible time in my life.  Please God let my 3rd (or 3rd and 4th) be an easy baby. 

 I guess I'll be getting that minivan I've been dreaming of...

I had three WAY under three! My oldest was 2 years 5 months when DD was born. It is manageable and you can do it!

To me the hardest was going from one to two, but who knows! I can not picture my lide any other way!  The clingy stage will be over when number three arrives. 

As for the twin thing, who knows? I have had a lot of friends who thought that they were having more than one, and ended up to have ONE happy healthy baby!

Good luck to you!

Well, on the plus side you are getting a super awesome (and cool) mini-van.  May I suggest the Dodge Grand Caravan?   Make sure to get automatic sliding doors and end gate.  Also climate control.   Oh, and stow 'n go is great.    

I don't have 3U3.   I wish you luck!   You will survive!

I'm only going on 2, but I'm sure 3 will be a blessing.  Don't worry about twins, unless you have a family history, its pretty rare.  I know tons of people who had a colicy difficult first baby, and their 2nd baby was super easy.  Also your children have 9 months to change between now and the then.

I have the Toyota Sienna and love it!  Agree with pp, power sliding doors are a must!

I found out I was pregnant with my third when my second was 9 months old also (oldest was 3).  I was scared to death..I did not want 2 under 2.  (my first two are 2 1/2 years apart).  The first few months were difficult, I do not do well without sleep.  The third was the easiest adjustment for me, the older two entertained themselves while I took care of the baby.  She's 7 months now and the easiest, happiest baby.  You'll be fine. 

OH!  My husband was convinced we were having twins with every pregnancy.  We did not
