3 Under 2. Anyone?

Please tell me I will survive. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon


I am officially "that" girl. Everyone has a "friend" who went through years of infertility, IVFs and losses and then BOOM! one day out of the blue, is knocked up, the "normal" way. I blame the wine!

My boys JUST turned one this month, I am a little over 2 months pregnant with miracle baby numero 3. God help us all.


Looking to get a virtual "there, there everything will be ok" from been there, done that moms. Anyone here have 3 under 2 or very close to it.

The reality of it is starting to settle in, and frankly, im a little SCAREDDDDDDDDDDChat Icon

We really are thrilled, just completely and totally in SHOCK.

Please tell me I will get to leave the house againChat Icon

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

You will always have a special place in my heart because you are part of the reason I have my miracle twins! I truly can't imagine having a third right now, but I just know it'll be amazing. Think about all the stress and money you are saving yourself Chat Icon

This is amazing news and I wish you nothing but the best!

congrats!!!!

I am in a similar boat...My twins will be a little over 2 when my 3rd comes. After fertility issues I never in a million years thought I would be the one who got pregnant in one night!

I don't have any advice but I share your shock, excitement, fear and joy!

congrats again!

My twin boys were 9 months old when I got pregnant again. The twins were 19 months old when the baby was born and they had no transition issues at all. They were so young and didn't understand a lot. They are now almost 4 (Nov) and my third son turned 2 in June. I am almost 12 weeks pregnant with #4 so don't worry - it didn't make me crazy if I am here having another. I love having them close in age and seeing them grow together.

Re: 3 Under 2. Anyone?

I think the thing that scares me most is losing my independence. We are ALWAYS on the go. I am by myself with the boys A LOT and we have gotten into our own lil routine. I fear how this LO is going to fit in. I mean even finding a stroller has been difficult. I am starting to do research now, and its slim pickings.Chat Icon and I hate to even say this out loud, but I will be getting a , GASP, mini van *gulp* Life is not 3 infant friendly.

I never thought in a million years after what I (we) went through I would end up pregnant, you always hear about these stories but you NEVER really think its going to happen to you. WRONG!Chat Icon

To tell the truth, DH and I always wanted another one. But after I had the boys, I wondered how it would even be possible to go to 2 sonos a week in the city, all the apts, all the drugs, all the emotions, and still no guarantee. I kept thinking it would not be fair to anyone. Well, I didn't have to worry, WE PLAN, GOD LAUGHS. He could have waited another year or so, but eh.

These kids, its a nice way to live a life, ya know? Now if I can only find a stroller.Chat Icon

All you IF ladies, take note!!!!!

Re: 3 Under 2. Anyone?

Congratulations!!!

My SIL has twins and a son who followed shortly after. The twins were 6 months old when she found out she was pregnant with #3. She had it rough bc her twins were cranky all the time and very needy but #3 was soooo easygoing when he arrived. She said the hardest part was that the twins werent walking yet when #3 arrived so it was hard at first but her DH helped a lot and she hired a nanny to come and stay with her during the day when her mom or MIL werent available.

She had a hard few years but once the kids were more self sufficient it was much much easier for her.

Good Luck and enjoy, this is such a blessing Chat Icon

Omg. Me too! My Chat Icon Chat Icon are 9 months old and a result of IVF. I swear DH and I had sex once this monthChat Icon. Obviously I wasn't checking the calendar or anything.

I took a pregnancy test on Sat. because I was 2 days late. The only other time I have ever been late is when I was pregnant. I wish I videotaped DH's reaction. He didn't know I was late or that I tested. Chat Icon He pretty much fell off the couch.

I have to call my OB to make an appt. This is our miracle baby #3 also. So obviously I have no words of advice, just letting you know we are in the boat too. Still in shock!Chat Icon

This baby is miracle baby #3 and he/she is going to fit into your life just perfectly. You are an amazing mother who will adapt so easily. Going out with 3 is definitely not easily...but completely do-able. And just think about how much we attention we are going to attract when we go out with our 6 babies under 2 Chat Icon People are going to do think we are crazy! But it will be fun! So happy for you, DH, and your boys. I cannot believe they are going to be BIG BROTHERS!!!!

Re: 3 Under 2. Anyone?

I came out on this board to give my IF friends hope. I don't spend much time here anymore but I remember my many years/posts on the IF board and all the ladies who helped give me strength. I pray that the ladies on here who are thinking about giving up, read this. Miracles DO happen, every single day. In the famous words of my DH, nothing is over as long as we are breathing. BTW ladies, I am 36!!!

People are going to do think we are crazy! QUOTE]

Or apart of some crazy cult. btw, Marco just packed his bags and said he is moving in with Aunt Nicole. I think him and Jack are going to protest this new one.

Re: 3 Under 2. Anyone?

Congratulations!!

I am currently a 3 under 2 mommy until Friday (my twins birthday!) My DD is 3 months so they were almost 21 months when she was born.

My dr. put it best to me as far as them responding to a new baby... She pointed out that they have never known what it was like to have 100% of your attention on them because there has always been 2 of them. So adding another one really won't be a huge adjustment to them.

It definitely gets interesting around here sometimes but it's not impossible. It will be really nice when you only have to change ONE diaper and feed ONE baby in the middle of the night! Chat Icon
