when thinking about having a third.......

you should think VERY long and hard about the things that you might have to do by yourself with three kids. I would prefer to hibernate in my house and not leave because I have more kids then hands. ALSO....having a very defiant three year old and a crazy one year old that gets VERY frustrated because he can't communicate. Add to that a newborn that spits up, has tons of gas and diarrhea and a little colic. YEAH...think long and hard. I hate to scare anyone away.....but why didn't anyone warn me? Actually it has been harder because my wonderful husband said FEB. would be a great month to have a kid......not. We planned for the baby and he later told me in February he had 4 MAJOR tests that he would be stressed and gone A Lot. So...in going to the many DR. visits for new born visits sick visits,blood draws, dentist and trying to get my feet on the ground he was gone. SO.....at the end of Feb. beginning of march he had spring break....yeah for breaks right? WELL.....we have two very sick kiddos. So between breastfeeding in the night and waking up with fevers.....we got about 4 hours of sleep a night. PLUS we ran around trying to find houses to buy and organized my family for Annalee's baby blessing. Well at the end of our vacation??? we went to the hospital because Isaac has RSV and Annalee has brochilios(sp???)......basically RSV. Yeah scary with a four week old. Well this morning with breathing treatments every four and six hours.....I had yet ANOTHER Dr. appointment. It was for her GI Dr. to tell me all the dieting I have been doing is no good because she probably has a soy allergy as well and everything is contaminated with milk.....so no nursing. So bring on the expensive formula when I can produce the good stuff for FREE. Sorry to feel a little frusterated.....but.....I need a break! Pray for me that things slow down! They say after three it doesn't matter how many you have.....well.....a guess I will have 6....BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I'm so sorry! I wish we lived closer so I could help or had some magical advice for you, but I don't! I am starting to panic about our Baby #2's arrival. You Mom's out there who have more than three are HEROS in my book!!
