BFP! Somebody tell me I'll be ok.

nycteach · December 2011

I found out on Sunday morning that I am expecting baby 3.

I'm was so excited yesterday but have been so flooded with feelings of fear today like what have I gotten myself into. DD will be 3 and DS will be 15 months when this LO is here.

Don't get me wrong, we are definitely excited about this pregnancy but today, for whatever reason, I've been really doubting myself as a mother and my ability to handle three children so close together without turning into a crazy person.

We'll yay. At least I'll have good company while I'm feeling all overwhelmed and crazy inside.

Congrats! My 3u3 has been going smoothly so far! You've done it before so it won't be too hard the 3rd time around:)

My youngest two will be about 14.5 months apart and I felt the same way. You will be ok. We were trying for the 3rd and were so happy it did not take as long as the second. I was so excited on minute and scared wondering what I was thinking the next minute! I am totally over the crazy feelings now and just excited to have another baby! Good luck and you are not alone in your feelings. It is completely normal!

I'm in the same boat! Only difference is that I have had time to get used to the idea! My DS will be 3.5, and my DD will be 21 months. The first few weeks I spent FREAKING OUT!

I'm now a lot better and relaxed about it. I remember freaking out about 2U2, and that transition went way better than expected so I'm trying to hope for the same this time around.

You'll do just fine! Mine are just under 13.5 months apart.

You'll be fine! My older two are 16.5 months apart and this baby will be 19.5 months younger than #2 and exactly 3 years younger than #1. I loved having 2u2 the first time and I'm definitely looking forward to it again. Plus it doesn't hurt that almost every single one of my mom friends with 3+ kids say that going from 2-3 is much easier ;-)

I'm in a similar boat! DD1 will be about to turn 3 and DD2 will be 20 months old! (DD1 & DD2 are 15 months apart)

You'll make it!
