Its Daunting.....those with 2 or more...

I've found 3 children a lot harder.  Yes I have 3 under 5, so that's never easy.  But even with a bigger age gap, you still have 3 children - all with different needs - to care for. 

I sometimes too think how easy it would be just to have R & G still.  They're both at an easy-ish age, then you throw a baby into the mix....  But again, love having Jett in our lives.

Things get better, you get into a routine and somedays are hard but the next day is great!  Just take each day as it comes.  Of course this time now is hard, having a newborn waking through the night, your hormones going nuts, and your body recovering from birth.  I remember that all too clearly.  I wouldn't look too far in the future yet, as it makes you want to get their faster & you'll wish this time away, but it goes fast, and you'll look back in a few months & forget a lot of how Brennan was as a newborn, and they're sooo precious at this age. 

And no, I don't regret Jett (he was a complete surprise though, totally unplanned).  I know eventually we would've had another child, he just came along a lot sooner.  And I agree with Catrad, you only regret the ones you don't have.  And my silly mind plays game with me, and I think about having a 4th, just to see what it'll look like!  Lol, cos our 3 kids are all so different looking to each other, I wonder if the 4th will be different again, or will actually resemble one of it's siblings.  And no I wouldn't  actually have another child just for that reason!

Hang in there chick!!!!!

Awww big hugs!!!  I did a post like this not long after DS #3 was born!!  Do whatever needs to be done to get through the day! My 2 year old watched alot of tv those first few weeks lol!! And if I didnt have to get my eldest to school each day im pretty sure I would have stayed in my jammies all dayNow almost 6 months on things are soooo much better, bubs is sleeping through the night so Im not exhausted all the time and now its not all about him, hes more part of the family than the whole focus as a newborn is IYKWIM?

I want another but dont want to do it until Ella is at LEAST in school and Max is at least fluent and able to talk clearly to me if that makes sense? Just so i dont have to decifer whinging!

Maybe would be a bit easier Jess, its more about the logistics of 3?  Like with 2 its one each, with 3 its a squash in the car, sharing rooms, and even things like pick ups/drop offs to school/kindy etc, you kinda have to fit everyone in, like if Ella was at school and Max and kindy, and life just requires alot more planning
