It will be great, I agree you may not remember a lot of the first year, but its totally worth it. Of course our third was also our first girl, so I am not sure if it was having three or her being a girl that was so hard to adjust to!!

DaMomma’s post was written 3/22. My comment is being made on 3/24. Today’s headline: Octomom fires FREE nanny service for allegedly spying on her. WTF?

I freaked out before Xander was born. I was SO freaked at the notion of having another kid – even though he was very much planned. After he was here though, it was a great transition. Hard to get used to having a baby again (The big kids were 4 and 6, so the house was no longer baby-proof!) but adding another family member was no biggie. Now, having Gabriel, that has been more challenging, but I think it’s more that having a toddler and a newborn at the same time is tough. It seems harder this time than it did when the 2 big kids were tiny though.

So at least you won’t be on the news as the next overwhelmed mom with postpartum psychosis… Not funny, I know! Seriously, these women usually maintained that they were fine to the outside world. Then they crack one day. At least you have this blog for “therapy”!

That which does not kill us makes us crazier than a loon. Or that’s how it works for me.

I am fine example of superb mental health I am celebrating (with peaceful cup of coffee) the end of spring break. And I am not brave enough to have three. Two is plenty. So you ARE sane and you WILL be fine. And you won’t remember the first year.

I have nothing to offer you except weak encouragement. It may be tough at first, but it will be ok. Or some form of ok. An altered, unrecognizable state of ok?

I always heard that the 3rd one just takes care of herself.

No?

I noticed with my 3rd that she was great friends with the bouncy chair. I just had to put her down more than I did the other girls. But you know what? She’s almost 5 now and she’s just awesome! It turns out I didn’t do her any permanant damage You’ll be great, Liz.

I am on day 15 of baby 3 and the hardest part is that our oldest went with Grandma and Papa to the farm. There is no one to play with our middle child and he is driving me bonkers. The baby seems to realize the chaos of our lives after the last nine months and just sits quietly while it whirls around him. Even going out to do stuff hasn’t been that hard…I already know the drill, it’s just one more body to be included.
