i had my second child 5 months ago and i thought i loved being a mother to 1 child, but i absolutely love being a mother to 2 children. it's amazing how your heart actually grows. you loved your first child with all of your heart, but now that your have 2 children, you love both of them even more than you ever thought you could. of course it is extrememly challenging going from 1 child to 2. i am wondering if it is as challenging going from 2 children to 3 as it was from 1 to 2? i've heard that it's not as hard. what do you think?

When I had my first I thought i'd die because evrytime I looked at him my heart missed a beat. And don't you find that feeling addictive. He's 4 now and what a stunning little man he is. His brother came when he was only 1 1/2 years old, and he coped amazingly. People sometimes forget that though you have to bond with your new baby, siblings need that too. I did find though that as my second was growing up, he seemed to go through a bit of an attention streak, but handled calmly and he's coming through this now. So now a 4 year old, a 2 year old and then my beautiful little girl now 6 months came along, and wow did her big brothers beam when asked if they had a new sister. My 2 year old is so protective of her, you can see they are very close even at their young age. I just hope that specialness grows with them. I love my 3 unconditionally. It is hard work and tiring, but what a fantastic gift to have, we are so lucky as parents. Would I have more, lol, yes and no, probably when there a little older, my 4 year old starts full time school on thursday. How time flies. I'm having to find a parent and baby group for my other 2 and me, as my 2 year olds birthday falls after the september cut off and has to wait another year to go to school. Which is such a shame because he really wants to go. Every time we take his brother he says "look mummy there's my school" his time will come. They don't realise that they are there for the next chapter of their life, lol. My auntie is soon to have her 7th, she loves it x x x
