[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids and I'm pregnant with my third. I'm definitely keeping my nanny during maternity leave. Her job duties room remain the same: pick up the kids from school, watch them during the afternoon, make them dinner, clean up their dinner, and do their laundry and keep their room tidy. I don't want to do all of that while toting around a new baby, not to mention that it's sounds borderline impossible to safely oversee two little kids and a baby at the park (e.g.) unless you just ditch the baby in a stroller under a tree and chase the kids around.[/quote]

I'm a mom that had 4 kids close in age (about 2 years apart) and my husband was active duty military and deployed for 6+ month within weeks of me having baby #2 and baby #3 (so I had a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a 3 week old when my husband deployed for six months.)
To go to a park in this situation, first you pick a park that is completely fenced in--for me, that meant driving 20 minutes.   You go early when there are fewer people there (easier to see your kids, and also less chance of someone accidentally leaving a gate open.)   You wear the baby in a sling or front carrier, don't ditch the baby under a tree!  And just constantly pay keep your eyes on your other two kids.[/quote]
