Anyone mind if I join you here?

I'm due Nov 4th, but I went a few days early last time and may very well be having an Oct. baby. I'm thinking I'll hang out on the Oct. and Nov. boards. :)
I'm actually wondering if I'll be having a Halloween baby. That'd be interesting. I wonder if I'll need a costume or belly paint? :lol

Anyway, this will be baby #3 for me, with a 25-month spacing on either side of DD. It's kind of overwhemling to think of having a 3rd, but I'm quite experienced with slings, I'm an old pro at breastfeeding (tandemed with the first two for almost a year), and I know not to take a baby to the emergency room for newborn rash :lol , so in a way the thought of these 3 now is much less overwhelming than just one at the level of experience I was at with my first.

Hi there - welcome! Congratulations on your third! I'm sure this one will have new surprises and lessons for you just the same. I'm kinda hoping for a halloween baby myself:)

Oh, I'm sure he (she?) will. I guess I'm just a little less terrified of what those surprises and lessons will be. :lol

Welcome! Congratulations on your third baby...you're an old pro, I see! I think a Hallowe'en baby sounds great! I would definitley use belly paint!

Cheers and have a happy and healthy 9 months!

CONGRATULATIONS! I second the "more the merrier" idea. I'm guessing here, but I think there are always some fears attached to the addition of another child. My Mom had six and each time there was SOMEthing to worry about. :) I'm only preggie with #2... but there must always be fears. If you think, there are things to fear! It would be nice to just not think sometimes, but then maybe even more lonely? hahaha

Anyway... CONGRATULATIONS! New joys and trials. Hopefully mostly joys!

Thanks! :) I think mainly I'm worried about losing this baby. It's still so early, and my dear cousin recently lost hers. Aside from that, I do worry about meeting the needs of three at once. I guess the main thing I'm less worried about is taking care of a newborn. I was terrified of it the first time around and amazed at how much easier it was for me last time.
