Calling all mummies of three!

[dannih94]

Hi ladies. Just looking for people to share their experiences with me. I know essentially it is whatever is best for our family and how we cope with it, but just looking for other opinions!
Myself and my OH are getting married in March 2016, we have two girls, aged 4 and 2, turning 5 and 3 this November. My youngest daughter has always been far more trouble than my eldest, and I didn't think I would ever be saying this again, but lately I've had all things baby on my mind, broody is an understatement. I'm thinking of pitching the idea of a third to my hubby to be soon, but I think what scares us both is the "three is a crowd" saying.
Our girls are so close, and I'm not sure what adding another would do to their relationship. So I suppose what I'm asking is has this happened to anyone else? How did you deal with it if so? And is having three really that much harder than having two?

It's probably a little early for me to comment as my baby girl is just 4 weeks old.

I have two boys 3 and 2 there is just 14 months between them, they are very close and do everything together, I was also worried about one being left out with #3, but I think as she is a girl she probably won't be into the same things as her brothers anyway, I would of been much more worried if she had been another boy.

My hubby is 1 of 3 and has always said he doesn't want 3 children, as he felt he was always left out, he now wants 4 lol not to sure about 4, but we will see.

So far both her brothers love her and take great interest in looking after her.

Thanks for your reply, there are 23 months and 2 weeks between my girls, and a part of me feels like we should wait until we are in a position to have another two children close to each other, which wouldn't be until at least another 6 years! I don't want to wait that long for another oh well, I suppose there is never a right time, and we will do whatever we feel is best at the time

I've got 3 and also an older stepdaughter. My stepdaughter is 12, son 8, daughter 6 and Emma will be 1 tomorrow. I must admit the age gap threw us all a bit as we had past the baby/toddler stage. Took some getting used to, but it's like Emma's always been here. She's closest to my son as he's usually the one helping me with her.
