Three Children?

After having my 2nd I said NO to any more children. But 13 months later I was pg with #3!! It was a total accident though, but by then I was thinking about #3, but not for at least another year.

I would say if you're thinking about it & your DH is keen, then go for it. It makes a lot of difference if you have the support of your DH. That was what made me think about having a 3rd, because my DH was saying how we WERE having another after our 2nd. Although he would love a 4th!! And I'm TOTALLY not up for that! I love babies, but they're hard work & I've never planned/wanted to have more than 3.

I think your childrens age gaps are great too, so the younger one now, will be old enough to help you out if a baby does come along. I'm finding my nearly 2 yr old hard work with having a baby as well, but my 4 yr old is easy & helpful (most of the time).

I've had Kryssi and Hannah sharing a room from when Kryssi was 1-2mos. Hannah learnt to sleep through Kryssi in the night so it mostly worked well. Briona has a bunk, so Hannah has recently shifted into Briona's room but when we first tried that (last Christmas) Briona was too young for it and wouldn't get to sleep with Hannah in there - she'd climb up to Hannah's bunk and then cry cause she couldn't get down!!! (repeatedly, every night *rolls eyes*)

Hannah was 3 when Kryssi was born, she really liked "our baby" and helping pass various things. Briona really loves to take dirty nappies out (strange lol!). They both love having cuddles etc. Didn't have too many probs, in fact as far as them adjusting goes, it was a lot easier than the first time cause they were already used to playing with each other and not just me. In saying all that though, I would always try to spend 1/2 hour with Hannah each day doing something "older child"-ish (like Junior Monopoly or cardboard puzzles) while the other two were sleeping.
