Hey Guys, so there is my news I am pregnant with my third baby!! I have two kids already and was always content with that so when I found out I was pregnant it was quite a shock. I had been told I couldn't have any more kids. So here I am trying to prepare for a new baby, I am very excited now and can't wait to have another child, I love being a mom more than anything so I know this is a blessing!! I am worried though about having three kids, how do other people handle having three? Any advice or words of wisdom will be greately appreciated =)

In truth going from two to three is so much easier then one to two. The older kids can keep each other company playing and what not when you need to take care of the baby. I love having three and it so interesting to see the difference in how they treat each other. There being two different levels of relationships. I am now expecting number 4 and I cannot wait to see how our family dynamic changes again. As for handling in when it comes to going out and shopping it does take some getting used to just like when going to two kids did and if you have good discipline it not too hard. Good luck and congrats. Don't worry about what could happen just enjoy all the little miracles and oh so funny things that are going to come out of the older kids mouths, those are just these wonderful moments!

Look it's always an adjustment to bring home a new family member no matter the age or even species (gotta luv the puppies) but there is no point on dwelling on the tough when there are so many good things to enjoy!

Congratulations on your pregnancy. It has come as quite a surprise for you so I know you will feel very excited over the next few months. You are a wonderful mother so I know you will do well with your little baby when he or she is born .
I have three children. My baby daughter is 9 months old, my disabled toddler son is 2 years old and my teenage son is 14 years old. It is challenging because my toddler son is disabled to walk. Nowadays there are some fantastic buggies for two children that are close in age. One child can be lonely, two have company and three children are happy playing together.
Do you have enough space in your car for an extra child? I am sure you can make space in your home for your new baby. I have learned that medical people don't know everything and some ladies can have a baby when they thought they couldn't. I wish you an excellent time in your pregnancy.

Wow - congrats! I remember about this time last year I was so thrilled with the news of having number two . . . that was the best news ever as we had been trying for a while. We are content with two and feel that our family is totally complete . . . for us, we may have a nervous breakdown with three - hee hee!! But we are "older" parents and can only afford so much - so this is it for us. If I were much younger and could afford it, I'd say the more the merrier - hee hee!! Best of luck during your pregnancy . . . as you know time will fly and number three will be in your arms in just a matter of months. You already love being a mom, so this baby is blessed to have you as a parent!

I truly believe that the Lord (or whichever supreme being you worship) sends you the number of children you can handle under any circumstances.I have 3 children, all of which had health problems when young, and ,yes, there were many times when I felt overwhelmed. But I had support in the form of my husband, parents and parents-in-law, and we came through. My children are all still alive, and in good health, and we have 2 grandchildren, so all the drama was worth it. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help if you need it. It also helps if you have friends with children of the same age, because you will help each other through the crises that arise.Good luck with your pregnancy, and I hope all goes well.

That's great! If you it makes you feel any better, my late grandmother had 16 children (no twins, by the same man, her husband) and she lived to be 91. Personally, I'd be at a loss with one child. I'm so tired now, and I'm single and childless. So you're already past me! Congratulations!
