Hello everyone:wave:
I have just found out Im pregnant with baby no 3
( A big surprise)
We have dd who is 6 and ds who is 4.
I was wondering how hard it is going from 2 to 3..
I have heard alot of storys that its the hardest.
DD is in grade one this year and DS is at 4 year old kinder....Baby is due at the start of september.
I have to admit Im a little nervous....

I didn't think there was much difference difficulty wise, but if anything going from 1 to 2 was harder than 2 to 3.

I'm still going for number 4 so it can't be that bad!

Congratulations and enjoy your new baby :flowerz:

Oh me too!

#3 was very much planned and is due in 6 weeks. I had a really hard time going from 1 to 2 and am so nervous about going from 2 to 3. I think it really depends on your kids and family. My DS1 will be starting 4 yr old kinder too and DS2 will be starting child care 1 day a week.

I'll be sure to let you know how I go!

Congratulations by the way :yelclap:

We went from 2 to 3 back in Feb last year. Have to say most hectic part is the logistics of getting out of the house in the morning in time for school. Having the kids a bit older would certainly help as they could do things for themselves. My DD were 5 and 2.5 so the younger one still needed help. Also to add to our fun my DD3 came 7 weeks early so I think it would have been easier if I had the last 7 weeks to get ready for the baby to arrive. Although life has been busy for us I wouldn't swap it for anything. Love having 3 kids and would consider having number 4.

I agree going from 1 to 2 is harder. The third one just fellin place. I wouldnt worry cause your first 2 are a lot older, when my 3 came my Ds was 3.6 and my DD was 20 mths. I to considering no.4. Dont worry its a piece of cake, most days!!!

Firstly Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! :goodvibes: I have two boys aged 6 and 3 and im two weeks of having number 3, i was nervous at first but so many ladies say that going from 2 to 3 was easier then 1 to 2 so im about to find out!!! My DS 1 starts year 1 this year and my DS2 is born in the second half of the year and he doesnt go to kindy untill 2011 but i have him in daycare 2 days a week so im hopeing that will help with him getting bored and make me not feel like he is being left out as much. Best of luck :goodvibes:
