Well my first will be 3 by then, but still! We want three and I'm crossing my fingers for a daughter one day...although will feel blessed with a healthy baby regardless. I'm 35 so tick tick tick, haha. I am mainly concerned with logistics. I also want my DS1 to go to preschool next year so that may tough to gather them all each morning. I could maybe hire hire a sitter so i can run him in? I just feel like if I don't do it soon I may regret it and unfortunately time is not on my side.
Anyone else thinking about it?
Those with 3 u 3, how do you get out and about?
We are planning on 3u3. My first two are 13m1d apart. I want a slightly larger gap for #3 simply so that I don't have to worry about my milk supply as much while pregnant again. (I tandem nurse.) We are probably going to stop preventing next month, so we'd end up with about a 16 month age gap, or three under 29 months, if I get pregnant right away. We don't expect that, but those were my famous last words before DS's pregnancy.
Mommy to N (3), J (2), and C (10 months). LO4 is due in mid-September.
I will have 3 under 3 in August and I work FT. No experience yet but DD will be going to preschool in the fall and the other 2 will be home with our nanny. I'll probably scale back and work less at some point but my commute is easy and our nanny is great so I think we can make it work.
We were 2 under 2, now 3 under 3!
Team Green turned Team Pink with #1, Team Green turned Team Blue with #2, Team Green turned Team Pink again with #3
We had 3, 3 and under. We started trying again for #3 when DD#1 turned a year old (would have had 2u2 again, and barely made 3u3), but didn't get a sticky BFP for #3 until 10 months later. Time was not on my side either (DD#2 was born 3 weeks before I turned 36, and we had IF issues in the past). So DS was 3 yrs 9.5 months and DD#1 was 2.5 when DD#2 was born.
Both DS and DD#1 were in pre-school 3 days a week (I work 2 days a week, so it was for daycare purposes 2/3 days) when she was born, and DS goes 4 days this year with DD going 3 days. Getting them all to drop off isn't that bad - they tend to wake up around 7 - I get them all dressed, then go downstairs for breakfast (when DD#2 was smaller she would nurse then, or she would drink her bottle with her breakfast). After breakfast, they watch a show, while I get things ready to leave (most of the time I don't shower, just change my clothes then gather their lunches/backpacks/snow clothes, etc...). We are usually out the door by 8:35 for an 8:45 drop off.
I have found that with 3, everything takes a LOT of planning ahead. We had gotten into a nice little groove with 2 kids, and when DD#2 arrived, it totally went out the window. It took a while to figure things out and get a nice schedule going again, but things are much more manageable now. Good luck!
I am planning 3U3.5 because in my delusional head that extra 6 months will make it so much easier

I would like a 3rd (i think). I will be 35 this year. I would prefer to wait till DD#2 is 12 months so not to mess with my milk supply before then and give my body more time to recover from previous csections.
I'll have 3 under 3 in April. If I go full term (which I'm not expecting) DD1 will be 32 months, DD2 will be 20 months. I'm currently on bed rest so not working and can't imagine daycare fees with 3 so I'm hoping to stay home next year. I want my oldest to start 2 or 3 day preschool in August. I'm sure whenever you add #3 (now or a few years) it'll be hectic until a new routine is figured out.
Sign me up Just got the BFP a few days ago!! 3U3! I'll have a 26 month old, a 14 month old and a new squish (assuming everything goes well)! We are super excited!
We had 3 3 and under (oldest was nearly 3.5) and in September we'll have 3 u 3. The hardest part is staying on top of the dishes and laundry ;-)
