  I'm only pregnant with my first but your story sounds like one of my best friends. 

   She was always on birth control and finally gave up after the third. They now have five absolutely adorable loving kind and hilarious red heads. It wasn't their plan, it was hard (and still is sometimes) but she absolutely loves being a stay at home mom to those kiddos. They are close in age but watching their relationships form as a result is very sweet. I have no doubt you will have hard days but you will also have absolutely amazing days that you wouldn't trade for the world. 

   Like I said I don't have the experience personally but I know you can handle it and it will be wonderful!

  You have every right to feel the way you do. The good thing is that by the time you give birth your 2 year old will be almost three and your 8 month old will be almost two. Children become more self sufficient as they get older. So while you are trying to say feed the baby, your 3 year old will be playing with the 2 year old or whatever the case may be. Also, once your two year old is 4 you can put him or her in preschool, so they will be out of the house some of the day. You can do it!! You will most likely get a system down. Good luck

  I know it is a lot to take in right now but you will be OK. Try to stay calm and just remember why you wanted to be a Mom the first time.

  I had a similar situation to this. We got pregnant with DS when DD was 8mos old. We weren't going to try for #2 for another 4mos but I guess that was too long for DS to make his appearance lol Not going to lie, have a NB and a 1.5y/o was tough, but it worked. Just think that every rough day you may have brings you one day closer to the easier days. And they will be such good friends and playmates! You can do this!

  I have a friend in a similiar situation. Her son just turned 3 a week or so ago. Her daughter is 4 months old today and child #3 is due in July. She is luckily a SAHM. But she will no doubt be struggling. But your a mother you will figure out how to cope. The best moms just know what to do. And I'm not saying your not going to break down crying, cause you will. But you are a strong woman, you will be there for your children every step of the way. You will do fine. And congrats by the way on #3. T&P coming your way.

  DS 3/25/03 awaiting 2nd arrival due 9/23/13
