Anyone pregnant with their third?

Anyone freaking out like me. Somedays I think okay I can do this, it won't be so bad. On bad days when kids are not behaving is when I get panic attacks. I hear from so many that the third child put them over the edge. Of course I know it won't be easy. I'm just hoping I don't have a meltdown. My friend had her third 7 months ago and is doing pretty good. She is a more mellow easy going person them I am though. That helps a lot.
Don't get me wrong, I wanted a third. Now that I'm pregnant reality is hitting me. I'm just glad the baby is due in June and my DH will be home all summer.
Bringing home my second DS was really not that big of a deal. I managed that with not too much stress.
Sorry just venting my worries!

Yes. I am freaking out. I was not ready for another just yet. I wanted a third, but wanted to wait a little longer. God had other plans. I have a 2 and a 4 year old, both boys, both very, very energietic. I am wondering how I will manage, but I guess, really, I have no other option. I am 7 months along and at this point I can't wait to meet the baby and find out the sex. I am hoping the transition from 2 to 3 is as easy as some say.

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

I have 3 now and am pregnant and due in June. My last baby was an easy transition. My girls were 3 and 4 years old when their baby brother was born. They were huge helpers and very independent so that helped with the transition. My last baby is now 2.5 and a huge handful. I am a bit nervous of whats to come with this next baby

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

My boys will be 2 and 5 when the baby comes. My older boy will be in full time kindergarten next Sept so that will help a lot. I will only have two kids home during the day.
My 20 month old is such a handful. I have two very energetic boys.

I guess I'm not alone with my feelings.

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

Im due in 2 weeks with my 3rd. I have a 2.5 yr old DS and a 17 month DD, so I will have 3 under 3. While I thought going from 1 to 2 was a huge transition, im not really worried about going from 2 to 3. Maybe because my life is crazy already that you can throw anything at me at this point. My kids are a handful, especially my son.
I guess it helps to be very mellow and easy going. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have had more than 1 child!

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

I'm pregnant with my fourth. The transition to three was pretty easy, so I'm hoping the same for this one.

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

Yes! I have a 2 yo and a 4 yo and am now pregnant with twins!!!! I am very. Easy going, but very worried about handling 2 babies with the other two. I work full time, but will probably become a sahm, but then Money being Too tight is also making me. Anxious.

DS will just be 2 when #2 & #3 arrive! I'm a FTWM and pretty stressed and freaked over how we will do it. Don't get me wrong, we had issues TTC and are excited its twins.... But 3 is very intimidating! You are NOT alone!

Re: Anyone pregnant with their third?

I am due with my 3rd in January.
My kids will be almost 4 and almost 5 so i'm hoping the transition is a smooth one.

I think I am in denial. I have everything for her but it is scattered all over the house waiting for me to wash and organize.
