  I have April 2007, June 2008, and September 2009.  I lucked out and had very easy babies.  They keep each other entertained and are so funny.  It can be hard when all three are crying but the happy times are well worth it.  We plan on doing it the same way in a few years.  Congrats!

  Not that close. I had 3 kids in 3 years though. 1 and 2 are 18 months apart, 2 and 3 are 19 months apart.

  It is only NOW getting easier as DS just turned 1!!!

  Best wishes!

  That would be me....  I'll tell you the third pregnancy has been hard on my body.  I am tired.  But I am almost done and so excited about having three little ones.  And excited to be done for a while.  Baby 3 isn't here yet, but feel free to contact me if you have questions.

  My three will all be about 20-21 months apart.  July 2006, April 2008, and January 2010.

  That is close!!!  I had four in just over 3 years, but my babies are twins.  It'll be hard at first, but as soon as your oldest is a little more self-sufficient, your life will change   Your kids will all be close enough in age that they'll entertain each other constantly!  That's a big plus!!  That said, any trips out of the house will need to be carefully organized and well thought out   you may be living in your pajamas for 6 months, but it's all worth it to see your kids have so much fun together and learn sharing, empathy and compromise at an early age!!  Get your older ones on the same nap schedule if you don't have them on the same schedule already.  And, when the new baby comes along, make sure that the baby takes one nap during the older ones' nap.  This is absolutely a lifesaver in my opinion, and the only way to take a breather and get anything done around the house.  Good luck with your pregnancy and your growing family!

  I have a 10/06 baby, 06/08 baby, and will have a 4/10 baby..so not nearly as close as yours..but still busy! It will be worth it when they play together and entertain eachother but it is definitely busy!

  I only have 2 back to back....10/22/08 and 11/27/09.....but we have been talking about having one more close together like this.  Most people think it is crazy but i kind of like the idea of them all being close together in age.  You ladies are an inspiration cause i can't imagine it being easy!  Did most of you plan it this way or was it n accident?
