Do I Really Want a 3rd Baby?? Help!!

AAA07 · Jun 9th, 2008, 03:52 PM

I have two boys ages 2 1/2 and 1. My husband and I always said we would just have two children and that was it. Lately, I have been thinking seriously about having a 3rd child. I know it will be more challenging. Having a second baby really changes things... Yes, I am busy now. I am a stay at home mom. My soon to be 3 year old will probably be going to pre school in the fall. What is it like having 3 (or more) children? Hmmm my youngest is almost weaned from breast feeding. Hmmm What to do??

Having my 3rd was so much easier than having the 2nd, because the first 2 occupied each other! Of course, once you have the baby...you cannot imagine life without him/her, but there can be added bickering...as there is always someone to fight with, but on the other hand, there is always someone to play with!!

I totally agree with annemerrick! Three is the new two. I love having three I wish I could have more but three is really nice.

I have three children but I have twin boys so I cheated! I love having three kids and I was very afraid at times of going from one child to three--and there were some rough times--but I'm so grateful for it now. Like any huge decision, take some time to think about it. Good luck!

I have three beautiful girls.. I would say Go for it....Mine are close together in ages 9,7 ,5...No 1 and 3 are so alike they could be cloned...! I would have another but I have lost my nerve....

...But three was not impossible and now are such a pleasure to have and love...

I have 3 girls, 4,6,8..the early years were a blur...I still wonder how I managed..but I did and am glad! The transition from 2 to 3 kids wasn't to bad...The hardest for me was after my second was born..
