[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I"m expecting #3. Older two will be 5 an 3.  Very wanted child but I'm scared. No family in the area, really.  [/quote]

PP here with kids spaced identically to yours. We have no family either. Do you work and will need daycare? We are doing daycare and it was very hard and costly at first. Before DC 1 went to Kinder we had to pay three daycare tuitions for 6 months and it killed us financially. Plan ahead. Find a good babysitter if you can. Plan meals ahead of time. We do a lot or casseroles and frozen pre-made meals that I prep on the weekend. There are times when the kids have pb and j for dinner with soup, and that is ok. You definitely learn to go with the flow. #3 is generally most laid back bc he/she is entertained by the older two and goes along with them. Mine are now 7, 5, and 2 and its startinf to get easier bc oldest two are now in school (no daycare!) and #3 sleeps well, is potty training, and pretty much just wants to play with the older ones.

The first two years are very hard ESP if you have to pay for childcare. [/quote]
