My girls were a little older than your boys when #3 came along--5 and 3.5--but it will all work out! What's the alternative?  Yes, it may get a little crazy. My life went totally off the rails when #3 was around 15 mos, but he made a very smooth transition into the family upon his arrival.
Good luck! It's going to be great...sooner or later.

When I had my 3rd baby, my eldest was 5 and my second was 15 mos old. It was a busy, crazy household but the baby was actually the easiest to manage. What was difficult for me, at least, was trying to make time to do little activities/bonding moments with the two older boys as they adjust with me being with the baby most of the time. I was also breast feeding, but the maya wrap was of great use to me. 'Had both hands free to do other things even when the baby slept in it or when I breastfed. We're thankful that my parents helped us a great deal in terms of caring for the kids, but still I felt like the amount of chores doubled! We do what we can. :) You'll manage. It's challenging to say the least, but you can do it. :) Be ready to hold three kids at the same time! *lol All of a sudden, everyone wants mommy. ;)

We just had our 3rd boy. My older 2 are 4 and 5. So far so good as the older ones live him. I have not brought all 3 anywhere besides grandmas and school yet though. He might not get as quick of response when he cries though.

Thanks ladies. I am seriously starting to wonder how I am going to drive my son to prek everyday, how we will make it to dr appointments, how simple trips will once again take 5 times as long. I also EBF and hope it will be just as easy and natural with this baby. I can not wait to meet my baby though, that is making it all worth it. I cant wait to have a little baby in my arms again!

My parents had 9.....yes NINE children!!!! ( 8 girls 1 boy). They held a strictly household & we all helped each other. I dont know hiw but they did..we all survived..lol
I think to myself during the chaotic times...they're not babies/kids forever ....

You'll be fine!
My girls are 3.5, 23 months and 8 weeks.
The baby is easy and the other 2 take turns being a pain in the a$$
ETA: I have an Ergo carrier and it makes outings much easier when I have all 3.
