heheh congrats Cindy 
My GP had 3 in 3 years. She said it was exhausting, but the most rewarding thing she's ever done (they're all grown up now). Best of luck for a healthy pregnancy

| congrats. What made you test? Were you still BFing your 6 month old? I just ask as I have a 5 month old and we are not using any contraception as we just want to leave it to chance and I wondered how you would know? |

Wow, congrats! Not in the situation myself but my sis has a daughter (3) and the twin boys are only 10 months younger. She is very busy and I think the most important thing is make sure you accept all offers of help.
Also, Emma (Maya) on here will have 3 under 2 I think when her bubs is born, so she might be able to give you some more advice. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

That is pretty cool, CindyD! 3 is an awesome number of kids, I reckon (not that I have any yet!) But my DH is from a 3-kid family and he's turned out pretty well and his parents are wonderful. Congrats! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Both hubby and i a bit shocked but we love having babies and have loads of family support. Still breast feeding Eden (number 2), and I think I knew straight away that i was preggers again but thought it would have to be a miracle (which of course it is!) to be again so soon. My midwife is on holiday but was so excited when i text her that she called for a big chat right away. lol.

Yup I will, but I'm not sure if I have any advice lol, I'm terrified! The gremlins will be 21 months when Iggle Piggle arrives so I will have 3 under two for 3 mths then 3 under 3 for another year. I'm sure you'll be fine (and I hope I will too!) Having the gremlins has taughht me that 1) routine is not a choice it's a neccessity, and 2) you can't sweat the small stuff, you just have to go with it. So the house doesn't get tidied and we eat toast for dinner some days, thems the breaks. My kids are happy and healthy and as long as they don't TELL anyone I give them toast for dinner we'll be fine
Another thing I swear by, if you can stretch to it, is having a cleaner once a week. Mine initially started coz I was working full time, but I kept her on after the gremlins were born and it was nice to know that once a week the house would get a decent clean from top to bottom, even if I was completely shattered. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
