Well Baby #4

What a freaking shock! How did everyone find going from 3 kids to 4?

Sorry i cant be of much help, im just going into number 3 and number 1 doesnt live with me so affectively number 2 (if that makes sense)

I think going from 2 - 3 or even 4 isnt as hard as going from 1 - 2, but im only speculating........i only say this because when you have one its easy to find a babysitter (well it should be easier) and you pretty much can carry on having a social life and no set routine........when number 2 comes along you need to get some sort of structure and order into the house so things run a bit smoother.......and so forth with number 3, so if my guessing is right, you should already have a routine about your house having 3, so the 4th one pretty much should just slot right in???

I hope im right for you.......

My old neighbour has had 8 children, 2 of those have left home but 6 of them still live at home........the youngest are twin girls who just turned one........and then 2 year old then a 6 & 8 and a 12 year old.........shes awesome, i dont know how she does it, cos she pretty much does it by herself.......

Goodluck and I hope you get some better advise than mine soon
:)

congratulations.... felt only like the other week you were having no 3!!! no advice either, 3 is my lot... but i think the more you have the easier it gets!

OMG holy smoke! and sorry to hear you are going it alone. Big hugs to you and I hope the shock setltes down soon! XXXX

I'm going from 3 to 4 as well, but I won't have any suggestions until baby arrives in January!

 

Congratulations though!!  How far along are you?

No advice here either but didnt want to read and run. Congrats!!

Congrats Toni! Will be back later to go into more detail, but try not to panic too much, we've found baby #4 pretty much fell out and hit the ground running! She had to get used to being lugged around here there and everywhere and she's pretty much just fitted in to what we were doing. Much easier than going from 1-2 (or 3 in my case!)

Firstly congrats

I had baby 4 in march and really have not found it any harder (could be the type of baby she is tho)
Ahh your age gaps are smaller than mine i have 2 at school and my one up from Tessa has just turned 3.
Only thing that is hard is the pick-up drop-offs but that unavoidable really, yeah really 4 is not alot different than 3 imo.
As Maya has said baby 4 just has to slot in.
I found the hardest going from 1-2 and i really love having 4 kids.

Hi there, I too am pregnant with number 4. My other three sons are 6, 3 and 18months and I am slightly freaked out about having a fourth. I don't have any help to offer other than I found going from 1 to 2 much harder than 2 to 3 so I'm just praying that 3 to 4 is the same!

Hiya, glad things with your dh are looking better. I have a 10,7,4,2,1 and preggie with #6 I found going from 3-4 and 4-5 not much dif, just had to plan a bit more I think, they just seemed to slot in, hope this one is the same
