[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't you think that this third baby will be your "fun baby"?  That's how I'd imagine it being for me.  You've been there, done that, and aren't planning on any more, so will cherish the time with this little one.[/quote]

I had several friends who had a 3rd when their first two were in ES and it did seem like a lot of fun.  The older kids were delighted with their baby.  It was such a different experience than being in the trenches with two kids in the baby/toddler/preschool years.  I have two close in age and would have loved to have a third when they were older but as it is, DH will be retirement age when our youngest finishes college so no 'bonus baby' for us.

I think OP should go for it.[/quote]

I have observed this same dynamic with several families too.  Everyone adores the third child, who is doted on by the older siblings and kind of just goes with the flow with what's going on with the rest of the family.[/quote]

I'm seeing this too but I actually see a lot of dragging the littlest one around, baby sweltering in an Ergo because mom has to be at soccer practice since Dad is with the other one at hockey, etc.  I think there's adoration, but there's also shafting.[/quote]
