My oldest son and daughter and 13 months apart to the day and my youngest son and daughter are 15 months apart. Yes, life is a little crazy, but to tell you, I wouldnt have it any other way. I have learned to love the chaios, the screaming, the fighting and all of the unpredictabilities. I feel like I have not slept in three years, but at this point, cafeine will get you through it, the biggest help has been to have them all on the same eating and napping schedule, the rest of the day is just up in the air, but hey its loads of fun! so i would say go fot it! and most certainly DONT get rid of anything, even with my 3 I have not given anything away, its just stored in plastic bins and put away for the next one, but if you ask my husband he says we are done, but you know how that goes, he said that two kids ago. :) I must tell you that being the mom of a preschooler, a toddler and a newborn isnt that bad.

I've always wanted a big family...what appeals to me are the Holiday get-togethers. :) Having my 5 kids bring their families home. Spoiling the multitudes of grandchildren. And, granted, when the boys are being a delight, how could you not want to add to the numbers? Right this second, though? I feel I'm done! I was woken up 3 times last night, and had to change a dirty diaper at 5 am. Maybe in a few years we'll reopen the issue ;-) Isn’t it funny how the 2nd is always a given, and the 3rd is such a HUGE decision?!

The thought of having 3 adult children appeals to me also - but I suppose there is a price to pay for that. lol My 3 kids are teenagers now (the youngest is actually 12.75 going on 18!) and it has been fun watching them interract all these years. The oldest 2 are introverts, so I think it would have been quiet if we had never had the third! Going from 2 to 3 was huge for us though because it's busier, more expensive (tuition, etc.), and more mind consuming. Ok, I’m inspired to box up the clothes today!
