Anyone else on the track for their third or more? We're having our third in five years. My boss' head is just going to spin when I tell him I'm going off on mat leave one more time!

This will be our fourth and last. I started having babies over 15 years ago. This will be the first time I have had any babies close together so it will be all new, fun fun! :lol

This will be #3 for us. DS1 is 5 and DS2 will be 3 in March.
Anyone else nervous about #3? Some days 2 seems like more than I can handle and I am a little worried that I will have a really hard time and just not be the mom I want to be:( Don't get me wrong I am SO SO happy and we were TTC but I definitely have worries this time around that I did not have when preg with DS2.

I could've written this post (subbing #5 for #3). We too were trying to ttc but I feel so stretched some days.
I keep telling myself I am already taking care of all 5. I mean, 4 on the outside while I am nauseous or 5 on the outside when I feel better? But that littlest one takes so much energy...
Taking it one day at a time and streamlining my life really help me. I am always looking for something to eliminate. It helps that my older two can be helpful and everyone but the 18m can make their own lunch. :wink
She can nurse while I sleep and this makes very little mess to clean up later. :lol

This is number three for me as well! My oldest is 5, my second is 2. Also, I never weaned one before getting pg with the next! SO I've been nursing or pg, for SO long now! LOL! I'm still nursing my 2 yr old with no sign of her stopping soon!
The thing I'm nervous about is that I babysit so I can be a SAHM. I currently watch an 18 month old little boy all day and have been for a year. I'm about to add a 5 month old little girl in Feb. So this is very concerning to me!!! I'm also supposed to be officially homeschooling in the fall. ACK!
But we want four or more kids, so it's not like we didn't want number 3, and I was very ready for it as well. Go figure!

This is #3 for us. My other two are 9 yrs apart, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like to have them closer together. I'm nervous though. Dealing with needs from both ends of the age spectrum is really challenging somedays.

We are due with #3 as well. Dd will just be turning 4 and ds will be 2 and 4 months when we have the baby. So, I guess 3 in exactly 4 yrs!
Ok, you moms w/5 and 6 kids, especially so close, how in the world do you do it and do you homeschool?

VERY tentatively expecting dc#4, for the third time in 6 months... :-(
One of the things I liked with pregnancy #3 was being able to relax knowing it would all be okay, I'd been through everything before. But then pg's #4 and #5 ended early... so now I am the OPPOSITE of the cool, calm, experienced mama I was when pg with dd2. Still, 4 kids would be perfect! Just enough to fill up the table!

We are expecting #4. ds1 and dd will turn 9 and 7 in October, a bit after this one is born, and ds2 will turn 4 a couple of months later.

i found out on monday i'm pg with number 4. at birth my other kids will be just turned 6, almost 4.5, and 2.5.
i'm grateful for a little wider spacing between 3 and 4. 30 mo instead of 20. i am interested in seeing how the transition goes this time around :)
