Two Under 2
How many 3u3 are out there?
seems like there are more than I would have thought! My DD#1 will turn 3 shortly after DC#3 will be born and I'm not as nervous as I thought I'd be. I am worried about telling people though because I know there will be some negative reactions "oh no, you already have your hands so full!" etc.

Re: How many 3u3 are out there?
I have 3U3. When I told people I got a wide range of responses. Anything from "you're crazy" to "wow you guys must really like sex" Or my MIL who said, "that's awful". I really don't think anyone actually said congratulations on the third. They mostly just looked at me like I had two heads. My parents were excited for us.
We'll just miss it, as well. DS will be 3y2m when #3 get here.
I mostly get a lot of people asking me if we need a lesson on how babies are made. Just laugh it off. It's no big deal!
We will have 3 under 2 in about 5 weeks. Our last 2 came as a package so no one really said much- they were surprised we were having twins (as were we) and told us we'd need alot of help but that's about it.
Not 3u3. My DD#1 was 3y1m when DS was born.
I too, got a lot of looks when I was PG with #3. I got a lecture from my own parents.
Somehow, I survived. It was HARD, VERY HARD for the first year for me, for many reasons - I'm a SAHM, no help, bad sleepers, etc. BUT, here I am, almost 18 months after DS was born, and I'm still alive! LOL!
GL to you and congrats!
I have 3 under 3. I think. I am due with my third in August.
DD will be 2 years and 5 months
DS will be 1 year and 5 months. They are 1 year and 2 days apart.
So far its OK. I have gotten a lot of congrats and "good for you" because its common in my family/circle (traditional Catholics w no BC).
We also get complements on how fertile we are!
Don't you love the comments? We dont have 3 under 3 but we got soo many comments about 2 under 2. MIL said we were going to have horrible lives! Nice!
This was pretty much the responses we've gotten. Sad, but true. We're happy though
I will have three, three and under for a few months. I'm glad for the age spacing...but everyone else seems to think we are crazy. Whatever! I was actually afraid to tell my own mother because she said exactly what I thougth she would..."another one..." She had FOUR! I'm not letting people's comments get to me, honestly, if I could afford more I would have seven kids!
Count me as a survivor of the 3ish and under club. Except it was 4 in 3 years,2 weeks. It was hard, I think mainly because my #3 was actualy #3 and #4
I love how close in age my kids are, and after doing 2 under 2 once, it's easier the second time around. I've gotten crazy comments, too, and I just don't listen to the negative ones. Luckily, no one in our families has ever said anything bad, it's mostly strangers that don't think before they speak.

I am not a member of the 3u3 club, but my best friend is, and I love her answer to the question, "You do know how this happens, right?" She responds with wink and a grin, "Yes, and we LIKE it!" It usually leaves people speechless.
