Hi Everyone
Would love to join your FB group.
I am also a mom of 3, oldest will be 3 next week, my second turned 2 in April and my youngest is 10wks.
We moved to NZ in June last year so would be great to chat to other moms and make friends.

Hi Sue, welcome to Ohbaby, Where abouts have you moved from? The states? I'm guess based on you saying Mom 
Just realised today that Greer is 2 whole months, man that has flown!!! Reflux has well and truly kicked in which sucks! Need to make sure we do our doses 12 hourly otherwise life turns a bit to custard!

How do you Mumma's of three or more cope with the witching hour when Bubs doesn't want to be put down & the big kids are running riot and not helping either?
Any Good strategies? Other than wearing her in my sling.

when the others were little Kel I think I coped by pulling my hair out! lol Not very helpful advice I know. My house was always a mess and the dvd player got alot of use, not exactly great parenting techniques but sometimes we have to do what we can to get by. It gets easier as they get older. Having 4 teens this time is alot better, altho the oldest we don't see anymore, she's far too busy with her social life

Hi AandCsmum
I am from South Africa, we also say mom or mommy there :)
I am quite lucky as my husband is very hands on, so we share the load! Well he is bathing baby, I am giving the other 2 dinner or vice versa and then generally he baths the other 2 whilst I prepare our dinner and tidy up the kitchen.
I have also just started work again, only 3 times a week but will be fulltime from July, so I am thinking of getting someone in once a week to help with the cleaning. Does anyone else have someone to help with the household stuff?

My problem is that DH doesn't usually get home til about 6 so I have to pretty much do it on my own. MInd you in saying that I was by myself from 2pm friday through to 7pm saturday & coped absolutely fine.
If I was going back to work I would definitely get a cleaner in, there is such limited time in the day so it's worth your sanity.
Ahhh S.A. I'm trying Rooibos tea for the first time
FB is definitely easier, OB needs to come up with an App

What like Beer??? 
It's kind of weird being back here. I've been lurking in some other threads though...getting my fix of pregnancy excitement etc to try and curb these ridiculous feelings of cluckiness. Seriously though, could it be my hormones? Any1 else had this so soon after having bubs???
