I always wonder about this too every time I look at your siggy

It's just what I'm used to. DH and I joke that we can pretty much relate to parents of multiples since we're about as close as you can get without actually having multiples! It's actually just great because my kids are all the best of friends, play with the same stuff, and are all close enough that they are all pretty much "into" the same things. When we go places we don't have to worry about someone being bored doing "baby" things or someone feeling left out because they're not big enough. They're just all such miracles and I'm so blessed to have them!

WOW, that sounds amazing. I've always wanted to have 3-4 kids that are no more than two years apart from each other but DH is still on the fence about having a third and my youngest is already 18 months I bet there's never a dull moment in your house

No, never a dull moment (except when everyone is sleeping- like now- when I can take a big, deep breath and hear... silence!)! Life is good!

Too funny! Hopefully I can keep 2 under 2 under control as well as you have!

You'll do great with 2 under 2! It sounds scary at first (as does 3 under 3... ) but it's much easier to freak yourself out about things than it actually is! My floor is littered with toys, I can pretty much guarantee you'll find goldfish crackers and teddy grahams if you look under the cushions of my couch, but it is so much fun and so worth while. How long do you have until your LO is due? I get so excited when people are expecting, the anticipation is so much fun (don't like when I'm expecting so much though because pregnancy likes to kick my backside!)

Thank you for the reassurance! I'm due mid-June so not much longer I think I have repressed the reality of breastfeeding frequency and newborn needs. Hoping DS will learn patience. Definitely been a long road due to gestational diabetes. It was diet controlled with DS, but I'm on insulin this time and sticking fingers 4x/d...yuck!

You'll be fine Alyssa I'm sure there will be some challenges in the beginning like there were for me but it's all a learning process Oh yuck about the sticking yourself with a needle! I think I would faint if I had to do that myself.

yikes on the needle...I think I would have to get dh to do that for me

It's not bad. Being a nurse helps and insulin needles are tiny, but it's still a chore. I don't think DH wants to

Mid-June! My baby will turn 1 on June 12. Maybe they'll share a bday! Sorry about all the trouble with the diabetes. Keep well, mama! I'm thinking of you and praying for your and baby's health.

HA! A lot of June babies this year. At least a lot of people I know anyway are due in June.

Thanks ladies! DS is a blast and such a good kid...I'm sure it will be like riding a bike...LOL!

Exactly1 Once you establish a routine and get the hang of it, it will be so much easier
