#3 SOOO much easier than I expected

I am finding that bringing home #3 has been WAY easier than bringing home #2 was.  This isn't so bad yet.  Leaving to go places is a little challenging still but I'm digging this 3 kids 3-and-under thing so far.

Good to know! That's what everyone I know says that going from 1 to 2 kids is the hardest transition.  It makes sense.  #1 is used to 100% of your attention, but #2 will not when #3 comes along.  I hope we will have 3 under 3 too.

I'm glad to hear this. We are expecting #2 within the next couple of months. While we will have a bit bigger spacing before #3, we still want 2u2 again (and maybe a couple more times after that...we really are crazy). That means 3u3 since my first two will only be about 13.5 months apart. I hope everything continues to go well for you with your three.

Thank you for posting this!

This gives me hope! We just found out we're expecting a surprise #3, due just after DD1 turns 4. So ours won't be as close as yours, but I'm a little overwhelmed by the logistics of taking 3 kids out!

You'll hopefully have it a little bit easier even.  My 3 1/2 year old is a really boisterous, vivacious little creature that doesn't listen very well as yet.  I have only gone out a few times with them all so far (Mall, library, small playground) and have used my double stroller for the baby and toddler which means my preschooler walks.

I thought it was easy that early in too. It was the calm before the storm. lol I hope it stays easier for you!

Yeah, I thought having two two years apart was super easy during the first couple weeks of DS2's life. Now....not so much. I vote you're still in the calm before the storm...but hopefully not! GL.

I totally agree!!  #2 rocked my world, #3 was easy.

Thanks for being positive about three! I thought it wasn't too bad going to two, but now it's a bit harder. I think going to three should be good since my first two like to play and are pretty independent. Going out is always a challenge with any number of kiddos!

I felt and still do feel that having #3 has totally been the easiest transition. Going from 1 to 2 with them being 15 months apart was the hardest for me. DS2 and DS3 are 20 months apart but it was easier that DS2 and DS1 play together so I have time for DS3. And now Ds3 is just trying to keep up. It's so funny to watch all 3 especially since DS3 thinks he can wrestle and do everything the other boys do evne through he's only 1. And you are use to multi-tasking by this point.

We are considering a third now and will probably TTC within the next month or two.  I'm nervous but our family just doesn't feel complete yet.  I don't think I will regret having one more but I may regret not having one more.

That's great to hear!

That's good to hear! Adding #2 has kind of kicked our butts, but we keep saying, as a PP said, that even though we think we will be overwhelmed by a third, if we don't have one, then we will regret it later. I'm banking on #3 being easier to add than #1 or #2 were!!
