Hell yes! How on earth am I going to cope with 3 under 2, especially when 2 of them are the feral gremlins?!?!
I guess we'll all cope because we have to!

Yes somedays I wonder how I'll cope. And as Becks said, how do you share your love between them? How can I love another child as much as I love Ollie?
I trust that as other women have had these fears and gone on to survive (and their kids are OK lol) that I can do it too ... I can ... I'm sure I can ...

Somedays I do wonder what on earth am I gong to do or what am I getting myself into!
Sounds horrible doesnt it  .
When I had DD I lived 5 minutes drive away from my Mum & Dad and Sister. Last year we moved 14,000 miles away so dont have that support this time. (but I suppose we were the one's that moved!) Hoping that I will have a little bit of help from my 3 year old daughter though???

I'm one of those people who needs to be busy - If I'm not on my toes, I tend to get bored (or at least fidgety). 2 kids sounds like fun, 3 a challenge. 4? I'll see how I survive 2 and 3...
EDIT: Of course well ALL have off days! Even with just one

im freaking out at the moment at the thought of having a 3 yr old and new born twins-one of which we found out yesterday has a heart condition.
i have no idea how i will cope, but i guess deep down we all know we will cope and make do.

Both my Dh and I were freaking out when I was pregnant with Lily - for different things such as coping, "will I love number 2 as much?", how will we afford it etc.
But 4 months (almost) after her arrival we can hardly remember how it was before and every day is lovely if challenging I haven't found the transition as hard as I feared and Lily has just fit in with us so well!
Some days are rough but they were with just one too!! 
You'll be fine!!

I'll remember that Rach, I hope you are right. Gosh the closer it gets the more real it seems. I suppose only time will tell how it will go. I don't know how I will do it but its obviously doable why else would anybody else do it. Can you tell I am thinking positively.

Lol Dawn, yep just keep repeating it to yourself (I CAN do this, it WILL be fine) - I'm sure if you say it enough it will come true ... That's what I'm hoping at least
