how was the adjustment going from 2 to 3 kids? I know that of course it's going to be more hectic but was it manageable? will I survive? lol

Re: those with 3 (or more) kids...

I didn't find it that difficult as my older 2 were a little more independent. The hardest part is it is harder to do some things with a baby in tow. The other challenge is getting the baby down for a nap with the others running around like maniacs

I have 3, ages 7, 4 and 1. I didn't find it to be any different. Of course there are days that are a little more crazy but I make sure the older 2 help me out. I think it gets a little more crazy when you have 3 within the same age. It helps that there's a gap in ages.

I have 3..two Almost 4 year olds and an 19 month old.
The transition when my 3rd was a newborn wasn't bad at all. Once he was mobile and climbing things got challenging because he is into everything. It is getting slightly easier now.

Mine are 7, 5, and 1...going from 2-->3 was a lot easier than I expected it to be. It was easy until the third started moving and having opinions! Now I am trying to keep 3 kids happy, which isn't always easy! They really all love each other and get along well...the older 2 take care of the baby all the time!
