0 to 1, hands down a million times over.

The adjustment was much, much less going to two and then to three. However, don't get me started on my life after #3 turned 18 months or so... Chat Icon

They are different transitions. The transition for me from 0-1 was that it wasn't about us anymore and your life just becomes totally different. You have to adjust to a new normal. Once I got over that, things were fine because it's just one baby to focus on. Oh boy, going from 1-2 was a BIG wake-up call as far as what busy was!! I thought I was busy with 1 but now I look back wistfully at the days that I thought were busy! It is so much work having 2 but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It is a huge adjustment figuring out how to split your time- for each child, your marriage, the house and hopefully for yourself. I'm still adjusting!

I only have 2 but going from 1-2 was a much harder adjustment than going from 0-1! For sure. It might also have to do with the fact that my DS (#2) is a handful! DD, on the otherhand, was a VERY good baby. If DS wasn't such an animal, maybe it wouldn't feel as hard as it does sometimes Chat Icon

But you make it work. And wine helps Chat Icon Chat Icon



I have to agree with this....sorry! 0-1 was easy for us, throwing 2 in the mix has been a lot more difficult.

Lets just say I am not regretting for a second that I tied my tubes.

We have 2, 0 to 1 was definitely easier than 1 to 2. It was very difficult. DD1 was just super easy, DS2 was normal so he seemed difficult but he really wasn't.

I went from 0 to 2 and from 2 to 3.

Zero to 2 was "easy"
2 to 3 has been more difficult. They are all under 3 and there are things that I just physically can't do alone right now and that is frustrating for me.

BUT I have had all good babies! So even though your first was good you could have a really good second too! Congrats!

I have three. To be honest, I thought 0-1 was the hardest, and 2-3 has been the easiest.

Maybe because I had #3 when DS was 7 and DD was 5. They are very self-sufficient and actually helpful with the baby. Also DS#3 is such a good baby!



Going from 2 to 3 was easy for me too- ds's were 6 and 4 and both in school full time. Both 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 were hard for me. But 3 to 4 wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

I have 3 but I went from 0-2 and then 2-3. That being said 2-3 was harder.



2-3 was harder than 0-2??? I also have twins and was really hoping going to a 3rd would be a breeze in comparison! Chat Icon

sorry to say but I agree with cds58019. ONE baby is easy as pie but the three together is tough especially so close in age!

We have 3 with #4 scheduled to be born next month.

I think it's all dependent on the baby.

1 was easy (well as easy as a baby can be)...but she was was an easy-going baby. 2 wasn't hard, but my son did give us some challenges. 3 wouldn't be so bad, but my second son has definitely redefined "rough" for us. I'm hoping #4 has the same disposition as #1. :hah

O to 1 was definitely a bigger transition for me. 1 to 2 was fine but I had three years between them so not sure if that helped. I LOVE the dynamic between my two kids...dont fret it will be amazing!!

0-1 was a lot harder. 1-2 was so easy and I was terrified for months before hand. We are expecting #3 so I hope it goes well.

I have 3 kids. Going from 0-1 was the biggest adjustment. The other 2 babies just fit in naturally. Didn't really feel like much change.
