How are you doing?i had a 5 year old and newborn twins...1 to 3 was crazy...having two babies at once who need your care all the time. And then to boot,one of my girls has special needs,more medical than I could have anticipated. I just wish I had more hands!! And time
Yes but are you smart enough to know your middle child will need your positive attention to and to feel loved. Most parents with middle children are doing a garbage job.
As the mom of 8, I can honestly say having 3 is the hardest....when we went from 3 to 4, it was somehow strangely easier and #5 hardly made a ripple in the dynamics of our family. I had 5 kids in 6 years, so they were very close together, then 5 years later (after being told I couldn't have any more) we had 3 more in a 5 year span. No matter how many you have, HAVE FUN! The time flies even on days you think it's dragging.
I have three I'm single... newborn is not quite one month old...my mother is bitter and won't help cook or do anything. I hate being back home. Need help financially.
I juz found I m positive today morning. And I have 2 elder boys. I had a severe operation where my gynec said I will never get preganent again. Infact its impossible, and I dono how this happened and I m preganent again. One of my cord is removed from uterus. My gynec said, I would get preganent only through ivf. I dono what call should I take
I am the oldest of five. I love holidays when everyone is around and the noise and laughter. My favorite part of growing up was having siblings and it's so fun to look back on !
I have 3! 7 year old girl, 4 year old girl and 11 month old boy. I love it, and even though it is harder now splitting my time between the 3, seeing the love they all have for each other makes it so worth it. The older kids loose some one on one attention from us, but its made up with the love they gain from having another sibling. ❤
That’s exactly how I feel right now. We’re having boys ages 8yo, 3 yo, and 2 months. The oldest seems to have lost some attention, but he is at a stage where he can appreciate being alone for some time and he also knows to ask for attention when he really misses being seen and heard one on one.
@@shazzy3141 so it's been a few years since my comment. My kids are now 11, 9 and 5. The oldest and youngest have the best relationship out of the 3 and always have. My son (5) adores his biggest sister because she has the patience to understand he is little and treats him so well. Middle daughter just fights with everyone 🤣
Absolutely loved this and so true! When I had my third baby girl everyone asked if I was disappointed or wanted to try for a boy and always assumed she was a mistake. Having three children who are all the same sex in my opinion is the most special gift xx
Everybody told me it is getting harder but to be honest I strongly disagree the older they get the easier it gets. My oldest is 9 she was the hardest one as a baby now she is the easiest one. the one in the middle is also getting easier with age.
Hi i'm new to your channel. I have been really lost these last couple of days my dad recently passed away and I just found out I am pregnant with my 3rd child, so many crazy emotions and tears. Your video helped me ease the nerves of even thinking about another little one running around, I just wanted to say thank you ❤️
You are an absolutely phenomenal mother Emily. It is so inspirational to see you talking about how you take care of your kids! Thanks for sharing your advice!
I was having such a bad day and then I saw the notification of your new video, inmediately changed my mood! I'm not even a mum, I'm 22 and still live with my parents. Never really looked forward to being a mum, but you and your channel made such a huge difference on my perception of parenthood! Love all your content, you're such a lovely family and I must admit I have a little crush on Fraiser, he's so sweet. Anyway thank you so much for sharing your life with us!! Lots of hugs and love from Uruguay ❤
This was really insightful. I have two boys who are three and almost 2 and I think about a third child every single day but there are so many reasons not to! It’s really hard as I don’t want to regret not having one. Your video was very truthful Emily, I think you’re honest and kind and deserve every success x
I'm due with my third in 5 days, I have two girls and this one is a boy. People constantly say how I must be so happy that I got a boy which I am but I love having girls and totally wanted another one :) My husband works in health care and when he tells his patients that he's having a third most people ask if he's insane or that he must love punishment. People just say ridiculous things and you totally have to ignore them. Great video :)
Brodie Couch I just had my third (a boy) after two girls and people are always commenting on how we must be happy we finally have a boy, we would have been happy (maybe a teeny bit more) with a girl. I find family is the worse with comments and like to congratulate me on giving them a boy. Just have to smile and tell my girls to ignore them lol Also it's been easier to go from two to three kids then it is was going from one to two kids
May i ask.. how is your experience a couple of Years later having 2 girls and a boy ? We are considering a third child, but i can relate to have a preferance to have another girl. How are you looking back on your comment back then?
I love the age gap recommendation! Thank you so much for sharing Emily! You make having 3 boys look easy. I know it's a lot of work but I just love your positivity and how realistic you are! ♡
I’m Mum of two and decided to stop there. Both my boys have learning disabilities and I would feel extremely guilty bring another life into this world when they need me so much. I think you are a wonderful mum and your boys look so happy! Thanks for the great video x
Ah this is my constant thought about having more, that I'd feel guilty on the others. Thank you so much for watching Julie and I have such respect for mothers like yourself xx
Gosh I love the honesty and practical tips in this video, rather than just saying it will all be ok e.g thinking about a bigger age gap if you don’t have loads of help (which we don’t), and being brave enough to mention the middle child issue. We’re really thinking about a third and this has been really helpful xx
I have 3 children 7,3,2 it’s hard work sometimes but it’s amazing, my mum also had three but a massive age gap between me (the youngest) & my brother (the middle) of 8 years & time I was older enough to understand my brother was a teenager & I was alone doing things that’s why I had my kids close together x
Emily I’ve just sat this morning with a cuppa and watched your video. It actually feels like I’m sitting with a best friend or sister..... you’ll be thinking weirdo alert!!😜 what I mean is your just soo lovely and give off this aura... even on camera. 💕 also no wonder you keep wanting more kids are they are just gorgeous!! I would have another as I mentioned to you before. The only thing is there would be an 9 year age gap. Anyway love the video 👍🏻 xx
9:55 you don’t have to worry about your kids college in totality. They are going to be resourceful and able to significantly contribute to solving that problem too ❤
I love what you said about not worrying that you won't have enough love to go around with more kids. It's a very positive comment for those who are contemplating on having more kids. You're such a lovely person.
👋🏼 Mum of 3 (8 & 3 year old girls, 13 month old boy) life is busy, everyday I wish there were more hours in the day but there’s never a dull moment 😍 wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you for your candid videos, really enjoy them
Emily first let me say Hi from South Africa, I love your channel so much all your tips and hack are advice I use as an au pair everyday. I love the way you speak and the fact that you never linger and talk too much about certain things. You always keep me interested and I look forward to watching your videos all the time. Lot of love Jess
Jessica Stoch I love this about her style too! Do not like the youtubers that just go on and on about different topics, she is always concise and engaging! :)
Jackson is about the same age as my first, and watching your videos has taught me so much about being a calm, organized and happy mum. And seeing your three boys make me want to have more children as well- you are truly a supermom Emily!! Xx
I'm a fellow Mum of 3 Emily and I felt the exact same as you (in the beginning). My 3rd was by far my easiest baby, he just slotted into our routine, he didn't create any extra work as I was already doing it for 2, he was such a chilled and easy baby that i actually considered a 4th... But then.... he got to 3 ish and it was like some one had flipped a switch on my life and I realised that having 2 children and a BABY was a doddle but having 3 CHIlDREN is a different kettle of fish! 😂😂 now they are 11, 9 and 6 and man are they hard work! I wouldn't change them though, treble the work but treble the love right ❤️❤️
My 1.5 yr old daughter loves watching your videos. I thought maybe it was coincidence that she was completely compelled and quietly sitting on my lap when I turned a video on (she usually NEVER sits still), but it's kind of impossible to deny it after a while. She especially loves the "routine" videos and seeing what the kids are up to.
I have four boys 14, 12, 8, and 4. I love it. We do get stares and comments. It really doesn't bother me. Most people mean well. I'm so proud of my boys. It is loud, messy, as they get older they will eat, eat, eat, and eat more. I enjoy your videos.
I have two boys under 3 years old (considering a third but still on the fence) and I do agree with everything you’ve said about caring for multiple children. Great video, thank you!
I've often wondered about this! I have one now and quite apprehensive 😂 what I am most worried about is sharing love... would I love another child equally or more? Or less lol you answered my question.
I was worried about it as well. And to be honest with you my first child was loved straight away and the next one I was so happy to be pregnant but when it was born I just didn't feel anything. That was so weird to me but luckily the love came after some time. Now she is 5 months old and I love her to the moon and back 😊
I only wanted one child. I was so worried about sharing love. And once we found out we were having a girl a lot of those worries went away. The last few weeks of pregnancy helped too. The anticipation waiting for the baby helped so much. After having her UGH i fell so much in love with her. Often we don't even feel like we have 2 children. 😁
I have just one little girl of 13 months and I'm already overwhelmed from time to time. She is very lovely but demanding baby too. We are raw vegan Family living in France and I'm watching your channel very often. thank you for this message as I'm thinking about having another baby soon too and maybe a third one... You are giving us - the first time mums - courage and strength and the feeling that we can do it too :) You are wonderful mum!
Thank you for the video! Sharing your truths about being a mum of 3 is full of hope for most parents probably. I have one boy and i deffinitley want more children. I admire the way you talk about parenting, it is always full of love and you never put the downsides first, i love that! One more thing, you are not old and you don't look old either, so... who cares about hateful comments, right? :)
The love and adoration you have for your family shines through Emily, it's a beautiful thing. Side note: your makeup looks gorgeous, would be great to see an updated makeup routine when/(if?!) you have the time to film one.
I have 2 year old (28moths) and I have a 4month old. Both boys, my eldest has autism and it's so hard. We didn't know this when I was pregnant.. life is crazy at times , and my baby has started to teeth now too. Emily I love your videos so much , you keep me sane and I get so much from you , from a mother to a mother. Thank you for being so so real. Don't ever change. We all love you xx 😘
I have two, a girl and a boy 6 and 3.5! I get the baby fever every so often but I already get overwhelmed so easily that I just let the idea of a third one slide by! I know having a third will make life more interesting and one more playmate and a lifelong friend for both my kids! I know a mum can never regret having another child BUT I feel like I won't be able to handle the work the sleepless nights and yeah that space issue too lol!
Just want to share that now I have four kids I look fondly back on having “just 3”. This is not to minimize the work of raising 3 children by any means, but having four is, no lie, that much more chaos. Having said that, it is also true that your heart grows even more than you thought possible when you have a fourth. I cried when I was pregnant with our youngest cause I worried about this! But our baby girl (near 6 yo now) is such a shining light, and brings so much joy to the family. xo
@@Anna-co3cd i hope your ok hun. If it makes you feel any better I had a 15 month old then gave birth to twin girls! 😂 so I had 3 children in a 15 months span. Also I have a 6 year old. So 3 babies have to come with me on the school run every day in a triple buggy its absolutely horrendous but somehow i do it 🙏🏻 You find your routine somehow honestly. Xx
I describe it as busier, not harder. A lot of ppl ask me if its harder...no, busier! I find ppl forget that children grow and become more independent with time and can even help with the younger ones:) It’s a little crazy for a few years, then it becomes easier. We did a larger age gap between number 2 and 3, almost 5 years💁🏼. Now our eldest is 10, second is 8 and 3rd is 3...things are awesome right now and I love where we are at! Kids are becoming more self sufficient. Yes, we have become incredibly savvy with holidays, we just rent condos at some very lovely destinations or find all inclusives that allow for 5 and book flights during non peak seasons. It’s all good! You make it work💁🏼
Great video. My son is nearly 5 and I'm really hoping to try for baby 2 this year but my husband scared of the change. 😣 You amaze me how you cope with 3 boys, inspirational even..Want to be a mum like you.
I also have 3 (5,4 and 1) and think your tips are spot on! Love watching you for tips and ideas Especially when im struggling and things are getting stressful x
I'm still in uni and not a mom yet, but I can't wait to have 3 kids of my own one day! I absolutely love your videos - you've made me feel so prepared for when that finally happens. LOVE U!
This video couldn’t of been more well timed for me personally as I think we’ve definitely decided this weekend we will be trying to have another child. I’ve always wanted to have a 3rd child myself but my husband was more resistant to the idea. We have 2 boys one who’s 6 and a half as of today and one who’s 3 in a couple of weeks and I think he was worried about adding to the chaos and how we’d all cope. Thank you for sharing your insight into having 3 it’s definitely helped me confirm what I already knew that it’ll be crazy loud and chaotic but totally worth it xx
Love this! I have two boys with a 3 year age gap and thinking of having another with another 3 year or 2.5 year gap. I just worry about the obvious stuff - going out with them all on my own, crossing roads etc. Seeing you cope so well with 3 makes me feel like I could do it!!! xx
I have an 8 year old, 6 year old and my 3rd is on the way. Going from 1 to 2 so close in age was HARD. I’m thinking because my other 2 are older now, it will be easier this time around. We are so excited to meet our new addition and grow into a party of 5. 🥰
My dearest Emily; I came across your channel few days after having my third child (today she is six months old). Thank you so much for your positivity and kindness. You are a beautiful person inside out. Wish you and your family love and happiness THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this!!! My first girl is 7, then boy of 4 almost 5 and I'm now 39 weeks pregnant with a girl. This helped me a lot! I love yout honesty and reality facts.
Emily Norris it is even more ‘fun’ when also your husband comes from nowhere and somehow this private thing turns into a family meeting!! Crazy times .... before having children you never even assume such things could happen haha
Ha. My third is five now. She just slotted in until she grew and is now the toughest!! She lulled is into false sense of security; I’ve found it much harder as the years have gone on! You’re a fab Mum. Related to lots. So true about the love 💗
Oh my god Emily! I’m in tears! This was such an honest and heart to heart chat! I’m so happy that you did this! I have two boys that are three years apart and you definitely inspire me to have a third and be proud and in love even if it does turn to be another boy! I would love to be a mom of three boys just like you!! If only I could :);) I love your family and I watch your videos daily without fail after I put my boys to bed :) Keep up the awesome work Emily!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Having a bank account for each kid and save whatever you can each month is making so much sense. My third is only two months and I must admit I didn’t think of that till now. Thanks for the inspiration
I would love an interview style video with your oldest about his experience with being the oldest and then ask the same questions again in a few years to see how his answers have changed.
I am pregnant with my third boy and also get those ridiculous stupid comments. I also had one person apologize to me when o told them the gender of my third child. It made me so angry and hurt me that anyone would apologize for having another beautiful baby boy
I clicked on the right vid this morning. I am due next month with my third boy - all 3 years apart. I always worry that one kid may feel left out especially because my 2 boys have such a beautiful bond. It was nice hearing how easily the third one fits in. People do have negative things to say when they hear it's a third boy but I have embraced it and accepted that i won't have any girls.
People are so STRANGE about going above and beyond two children, aren't they. People are always aghast that we're expecting baby five and that they were all planned and conceived by IVF even - it drives me bonkers. I know that your home is full of joy and love, and that you are more than enough parent for three little ones. You're doing great. xx
You've been of great inspiration for me... Sometimes I was quite lost in this parenting business but you videos helped me a lot. I would like to see a video about how you educate your children - in terms of discipline - and how you made them the lovely children they are now. They seem to be so good and understanding!
Our 3rd baby ended up being a 3 months premature baby 🙈 it was super tough while in hospital but as soon as he came home - he has fitted in perfectly and has such a great nature. I don't know what sleep is anymore, but i agree that I don't feel I have extra work to do. Bit of an age gap does help too. 👍🏻
I have 3 children to. A set of twins that are boys and they are 6 years old and a little girl that just turned 7 months old. It is tough to have 3 but I would not trade it for the world.
Great advice Emily, I've 2 boys and not planning on anymore 🤔.well never say never. As they say " 1 child is a pet...2 is a farm and 3 is a Zoo!!.". 😆. and yes people can say stupid things especially when you don't have a girl if you've only boys!!. Who cares about gender as long as they are happy & healthy!!. Xx
So true! I also have two boys and always get questions on when we are having a girl, and I’m kinda like... erm I think i would actually go crazy if I had a baby now 😂😅
Emily Norris ❤️ great video, really enjoyed watching it! but i just wanted to let you know that the screen texts at some point moved to the wrong subject.🙈🙈 don’t know if you noticed
Monika Daily Me too Monika🙈. Anyway we'd probably have another boy!!. Blessed as we are to have two fine men looking after us in our old age !. ..hopefully 😉X
Yes that's what I hope for too :) and I'm sure it would be another boy, but I wouldn't mind if it was, I'm over the trying for a girl thing. If I tried for another one it would be for a healthy baby, as cliche as it sounds ;) xxx
This video is great timing! I am currently pregnant with number 3 and have been questioning my sanity haha. This video gives me hope that it will all be awesome!!! 😀😀😀😀
I have 2 kids, a girl (3yo) and a baby boy (2mo). My boy loves the sound of your voice, he was hypnotized while I was watching the video. 😊 So yes, using technology is definitely a big yes for me as well. And thank you for being the voice that calms down my baby. ❤
My children's ages are 25, 23,21,20 and 15 the age gap was perfect they all played well together and now as adults they still get on really well. Third fourth and fifth all fitted in I found my second the hardest x
Great video and the music fitted so well in the background. These were really useful. I’m only 11 but I’ll definitely bare them in mind for the future.
Jack has been in hospital this week with bronchiolitis and we’ve both had a sickness bug - safe to say one of the worst weeks ever. Constant mumspiration on your channel Emily and always a video to cheer me up! Thank you 😘 xxx
Hi Emily. Your boys are so sweet. You can tell that they have a special bond. I have two daughters and found the transition from one to two to be quite overwhelming, so can't imagine having a third at the moment. Will you make a video about babyled weaning? Jackson is eating so well. I'm impressed.
I’m pregnant with twins so I’ve jumped straight from having 1 to 3!!! Thank you for this positive video on being a mum of 3 💖
How are you doing?i had a 5 year old and newborn twins...1 to 3 was crazy...having two babies at once who need your care all the time. And then to boot,one of my girls has special needs,more medical than I could have anticipated. I just wish I had more hands!! And time
I’m currently pregnant with my 3rd & I really appreciate this video! Thank you.
Ypur middle child will need to feel loved by you too and positive attention which fr what
Yes but are you smart enough to know your middle child will need your positive attention to and to feel loved. Most parents with middle children are doing a garbage job.
How did you go having a third
Mum of three here 🖐🏾 just a quick comment to say that as mothers, we are all doing a fabulous job! Great video Emily.

How is it with the 7 year old and 11 month old? As in age gap?

@@dishonesty lol that’s so cute 🥰
I can't believe people asking you if Jackson was a mistake? Some people!!...
ikr, so rude!
It's unbelievable, people are so rude.
It's always rude when people ask if your child was a 'mistake'
Anja van de Loo I know! Even if the child wasn't planned, there's a difference between a mistake and a surprise!
Curly Proverbz the things people say! Unbelievable!
Absolutely loved this and so true! When I had my third baby girl everyone asked if I was disappointed or wanted to try for a boy and always assumed she was a mistake. Having three children who are all the same sex in my opinion is the most special gift xx
I've got 4 kids. They grow up so fast. I thought it was hard work when they were babies, but believe me, it gets harder as they get older.
This comment calm me down 🤣 thinking of having a third.
Soo nice to see your comment
O no🙄
Could i ask why xx
Everybody told me it is getting harder but to be honest I strongly disagree the older they get the easier it gets. My oldest is 9 she was the hardest one as a baby now she is the easiest one. the one in the middle is also getting easier with age.
U got me all emotional with that last point. I could see the love in your own eyes when you said that.❤
Ashiya Jahangir I thought I was crazy for tearing up at that last point 🙈💙
Chloe Chapman i know ryt hun. x
My third is 7 weeks and it’s been pretty tough! But I’d never change any of it for the world, we planned all 3 of ours and they are perfect
Ah congratulations Charlotte. So good to hear. Go you! Thank you so much for watching xx

Did you have your third baby?
As a fellow mother of 3, I completely agree with everything you said!
Having three boys is amazing.
There's never a dull moment.
Bringing them up on my own is soo hard but I wouldn't change a thing.

Mum of 3 here too! Best thing is seeing the relationships between them all...my eldest 2 dote on the baby.
Every mom knows how hard is it,but they bring us so much joy!Great tips Emily!I have two and my heart wants one more,but my mind doesn't.🙂😢
Plus most parents are too dumb for three because most parents are too moron to know the middle child needs at least some positive attention.
Most parents are too dumb not to know the middle child should not be neglected.
I have 3. It's bloody hard work 😂
Such encouraging words to those who have second thoughts or even were worrying about having a 3rd child.
I love the age gap recommendation! Thank you so much for sharing Emily! You make having 3 boys look easy. I know it's a lot of work but I just love your positivity and how realistic you are! ♡

Emily I’ve just sat this morning with a cuppa and watched your video. It actually feels like I’m sitting with a best friend or sister..... you’ll be thinking weirdo alert!!😜 what I mean is your just soo lovely and give off this aura... even on camera. 💕 also no wonder you keep wanting more kids are they are just gorgeous!! I would have another as I mentioned to you before. The only thing is there would be an 9 year age gap. Anyway love the video 👍🏻 xx
Having 3 kids in 1920: Good God woman, you're practically barren!
Having 3 kids now: 🤔
Loved this Emily! We have three children who are 5, almost 3 and 13.5 months so I related to so much of what you said ❤️
Bianca Clinch - I have 5 (w/ASD occasionally he feels like twins haha) 3 and 7 months
I’m expecting our 5th and last! 8,5,3,&1Just got a mini van and adding a master room to the house! It’s a must. Love this video!
9:55 you don’t have to worry about your kids college in totality. They are going to be resourceful and able to significantly contribute to solving that problem too ❤
I am pregnant with my third child , I just wanted to say thank you . You answered a lot of questions for me
How did it go I’m planning to have a third.
Omg I just had my fifth baby and it’s not that bad. Having a schedule it will help you a lot
Thank you for this my love ... Expecting my second... Hats off to you for doing such a great job with three. xox
I’m 29 weeks pregnant with baby number 3 and this has put a lot of fears at ease! Thank u x
I'm pregnant with our 3rd daughter:) I'm worried about the transition but I've been watching these videos and I'm feeling better about it
Totally argee. I have 3 girls. And after the third my love grew for all of them even more. I love it. Your video's are 👍
What’s it like raising three girls ?
I love what you said about not worrying that you won't have enough love to go around with more kids. It's a very positive comment for those who are contemplating on having more kids. You're such a lovely person.
I loved having 3 so much i had 4 then 5. It's busy and crazy and noisy and often stressful, but the good moments in between make up for it
👋🏼 Mum of 3 (8 & 3 year old girls, 13 month old boy) life is busy, everyday I wish there were more hours in the day but there’s never a dull moment 😍 wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you for your candid videos, really enjoy them
Emily first let me say Hi from South Africa, I love your channel so much all your tips and hack are advice I use as an au pair everyday. I love the way you speak and the fact that you never linger and talk too much about certain things. You always keep me interested and I look forward to watching your videos all the time. Lot of love Jess
Jessica Stoch I love this about her style too! Do not like the youtubers that just go on and on about different topics, she is always concise and engaging! :)
Oh yay fellow South African ❤️❤️❤️
Jackson is about the same age as my first, and watching your videos has taught me so much about being a calm, organized and happy mum. And seeing your three boys make me want to have more children as well- you are truly a supermom Emily!! Xx
I'm a fellow Mum of 3 Emily and I felt the exact same as you (in the beginning). My 3rd was by far my easiest baby, he just slotted into our routine, he didn't create any extra work as I was already doing it for 2, he was such a chilled and easy baby that i actually considered a 4th... But then.... he got to 3 ish and it was like some one had flipped a switch on my life and I realised that having 2 children and a BABY was a doddle but having 3 CHIlDREN is a different kettle of fish! 😂😂 now they are 11, 9 and 6 and man are they hard work! I wouldn't change them though, treble the work but treble the love right ❤️❤️
My 1.5 yr old daughter loves watching your videos. I thought maybe it was coincidence that she was completely compelled and quietly sitting on my lap when I turned a video on (she usually NEVER sits still), but it's kind of impossible to deny it after a while. She especially loves the "routine" videos and seeing what the kids are up to.
Iv got three and just before she was born i thought how will I love her just as much.
But it's so true how big your heart grows ❤ x
I have four boys 14, 12, 8, and 4. I love it. We do get stares and comments. It really doesn't bother me. Most people mean well. I'm so proud of my boys. It is loud, messy, as they get older they will eat, eat, eat, and eat more. I enjoy your videos.
I have two boys under 3 years old (considering a third but still on the fence) and I do agree with everything you’ve said about caring for multiple children. Great video, thank you!
I have three boys too! ❤️ the youngest is only 7 months so I’m grateful for moms like you to help me cope!
All very true! We have three- ages 7, 6 and 2 and we are also expecting TWINS this summer lol. Now that is going to be a ride! 😀
How is life going? Congrats on having a big beautiful family! 💜💜💜
Need hard work
I've often wondered about this! I have one now and quite apprehensive 😂 what I am most worried about is sharing love... would I love another child equally or more? Or less lol you answered my question.
I thought that too! I was sure I could't love anyone more than my first son, didn't realise how much my heart could grow :)
I was worried about it as well. And to be honest with you my first child was loved straight away and the next one I was so happy to be pregnant but when it was born I just didn't feel anything. That was so weird to me but luckily the love came after some time. Now she is 5 months old and I love her to the moon and back 😊
I am thinking the same thing...i think my first is my heart and soul....
I only wanted one child. I was so worried about sharing love. And once we found out we were having a girl a lot of those worries went away. The last few weeks of pregnancy helped too. The anticipation waiting for the baby helped so much. After having her UGH i fell so much in love with her. Often we don't even feel like we have 2 children. 😁
I have just one little girl of 13 months and I'm already overwhelmed from time to time. She is very lovely but demanding baby too. We are raw vegan Family living in France and I'm watching your channel very often. thank you for this message as I'm thinking about having another baby soon too and maybe a third one... You are giving us - the first time mums - courage and strength and the feeling that we can do it too :) You are wonderful mum!
Thank you for the video! Sharing your truths about being a mum of 3 is full of hope for most parents probably. I have one boy and i deffinitley want more children. I admire the way you talk about parenting, it is always full of love and you never put the downsides first, i love that!
One more thing, you are not old and you don't look old either, so... who cares about hateful comments, right? :)
The love and adoration you have for your family shines through Emily, it's a beautiful thing. Side note: your makeup looks gorgeous, would be great to see an updated makeup routine when/(if?!) you have the time to film one.
I have 2 year old (28moths) and I have a 4month old. Both boys, my eldest has autism and it's so hard. We didn't know this when I was pregnant.. life is crazy at times , and my baby has started to teeth now too. Emily I love your videos so much , you keep me sane and I get so much from you , from a mother to a mother. Thank you for being so so real. Don't ever change. We all love you xx 😘
I have two, a girl and a boy 6 and 3.5! I get the baby fever every so often but I already get overwhelmed so easily that I just let the idea of a third one slide by! I know having a third will make life more interesting and one more playmate and a lifelong friend for both my kids! I know a mum can never regret having another child BUT I feel like I won't be able to handle the work the sleepless nights and yeah that space issue too lol!
So lovely to have 3 gorgeous boys. You do such a good job. Being a Mum is hard work. Xxx
Just want to share that now I have four kids I look fondly back on having “just 3”. This is not to minimize the work of raising 3 children by any means, but having four is, no lie, that much more chaos. Having said that, it is also true that your heart grows even more than you thought possible when you have a fourth. I cried when I was pregnant with our youngest cause I worried about this! But our baby girl (near 6 yo now) is such a shining light, and brings so much joy to the family. xo
I absolutely sobbed at the last one. I’ve just found out that I’m expecting my 3rd after having my second 15months go and I’m terrified.
I've just found out that I'm expecting 3rd after having my second 12 months go and I'm terrified too 😱
@@Anna-co3cd i hope your ok hun. If it makes you feel any better I had a 15 month old then gave birth to twin girls! 😂
so I had 3 children in a 15 months span.
Also I have a 6 year old. So 3 babies have to come with me on the school run every day in a triple buggy its absolutely horrendous but somehow i do it 🙏🏻
You find your routine somehow honestly. Xx
I describe it as busier, not harder. A lot of ppl ask me if its harder...no, busier! I find ppl forget that children grow and become more independent with time and can even help with the younger ones:) It’s a little crazy for a few years, then it becomes easier.
We did a larger age gap between number 2 and 3, almost 5 years💁🏼.
Now our eldest is 10, second is 8 and 3rd is 3...things are awesome right now and I love where we are at! Kids are becoming more self sufficient.
Yes, we have become incredibly savvy with holidays, we just rent condos at some very lovely destinations or find all inclusives that allow for 5 and book flights during non peak seasons. It’s all good! You make it work💁🏼
Very timely. I just had my 3rd baby on Val's day and I can relate so well with this. You are amazing, Emily
Great video. My son is nearly 5 and I'm really hoping to try for baby 2 this year but my husband scared of the change. 😣
You amaze me how you cope with 3 boys, inspirational even..Want to be a mum like you.
It's so lovely to have a sibling xx
I also have 3 (5,4 and 1) and think your tips are spot on! Love watching you for tips and ideas Especially when im struggling and things are getting stressful x
I'm still in uni and not a mom yet, but I can't wait to have 3 kids of my own one day! I absolutely love your videos - you've made me feel so prepared for when that finally happens. LOVE U!
i love being a mummy to 3! my heart feels so full ❤️❤️❤️
This video couldn’t of been more well timed for me personally as I think we’ve definitely decided this weekend we will be trying to have another child.
I’ve always wanted to have a 3rd child myself but my husband was more resistant to the idea. We have 2 boys one who’s 6 and a half as of today and one who’s 3 in a couple of weeks and I think he was worried about adding to the chaos and how we’d all cope.
Thank you for sharing your insight into having 3 it’s definitely helped me confirm what I already knew that it’ll be crazy loud and chaotic but totally worth it xx
Uh oh don't tell your hubby about my video!! But yay, what an exciting decision! Best of luck. Thank you so much for watching xx
🙈 I know he might think it’s a conspiracy and Thanks 😊 I’m super excited to add to the crazy loud house we have already xx
Everything is true, I have three and I do agree, with you. Three is a great number of children in the family
Love this! I have two boys with a 3 year age gap and thinking of having another with another 3 year or 2.5 year gap. I just worry about the obvious stuff - going out with them all on my own, crossing roads etc. Seeing you cope so well with 3 makes me feel like I could do it!!! xx
So true third baby fits in
My son is so chilled so relaxed. Just a joy
I have an 8 year old, 6 year old and my 3rd is on the way. Going from 1 to 2 so close in age was HARD. I’m thinking because my other 2 are older now, it will be easier this time around. We are so excited to meet our new addition and grow into a party of 5. 🥰
I have 3 too and my heart feels so full and complete. We are blessed Momma's 😊 loved this video. Everything was so true.
My dearest Emily; I came across your channel few days after having my third child (today she is six months old). Thank you so much for your positivity and kindness. You are a beautiful person inside out. Wish you and your family love and happiness THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this!!! My first girl is 7, then boy of 4 almost 5 and I'm now 39 weeks pregnant with a girl. This helped me a lot! I love yout honesty and reality facts.
Such a sweet video! The ‘wee’ point is definitely on point :))
Haha so true right. Thank you so much for watching Georgia xx
Emily Norris it is even more ‘fun’ when also your husband comes from nowhere and somehow this private thing turns into a family meeting!! Crazy times .... before having children you never even assume such things could happen haha
Ha. My third is five now. She just slotted in until she grew and is now the toughest!! She lulled is into false sense of security; I’ve found it much harder as the years have gone on! You’re a fab Mum. Related to lots. So true about the love 💗
Oh my god Emily! I’m in tears! This was such an honest and heart to heart chat! I’m so happy that you did this! I have two boys that are three years apart and you definitely inspire me to have a third and be proud and in love even if it does turn to be another boy! I would love to be a mom of three boys just like you!! If only I could :);) I love your family and I watch your videos daily without fail after I put my boys to bed :) Keep up the awesome work Emily!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Having a bank account for each kid and save whatever you can each month is making so much sense. My third is only two months and I must admit I didn’t think of that till now. Thanks for the inspiration
I would love an interview style video with your oldest about his experience with being the oldest and then ask the same questions again in a few years to see how his answers have changed.
I am currently pregnant with my 3rd, your video made me feel much better 🥲thank u so much.
I am pregnant with my third boy and also get those ridiculous stupid comments. I also had one person apologize to me when o told them the gender of my third child. It made me so angry and hurt me that anyone would apologize for having another beautiful baby boy
I love your honesty about the iPad. I don't think any parent should ever feel guilty for what works for them.
The car I agree with! We traded in my Nissan Altima for a pathfinder. I don’t regret it at all!
Love all of your videos! I’ve got 3 boys too and can relate to everything you said :) Especially the last bit xx
What’s it like raising three boys ?
We absolutely love having 3 crazies! It's wonderful to see their bond and friendship. I would have a couple more if we had the space and money! X
I clicked on the right vid this morning. I am due next month with my third boy - all 3 years apart. I always worry that one kid may feel left out especially because my 2 boys have such a beautiful bond. It was nice hearing how easily the third one fits in. People do have negative things to say when they hear it's a third boy but I have embraced it and accepted that i won't have any girls.
People are so STRANGE about going above and beyond two children, aren't they. People are always aghast that we're expecting baby five and that they were all planned and conceived by IVF even - it drives me bonkers. I know that your home is full of joy and love, and that you are more than enough parent for three little ones. You're doing great. xx
Thank you Emily. Again. I'm watching this video again. I've been following you since Jakson was a baby and now I'm pregnant with my third child.
You've been of great inspiration for me... Sometimes I was quite lost in this parenting business but you videos helped me a lot.
I would like to see a video about how you educate your children - in terms of discipline - and how you made them the lovely children they are now. They seem to be so good and understanding!
Our 3rd baby ended up being a 3 months premature baby 🙈 it was super tough while in hospital but as soon as he came home - he has fitted in perfectly and has such a great nature. I don't know what sleep is anymore, but i agree that I don't feel I have extra work to do. Bit of an age gap does help too. 👍🏻
I have 3 children to. A set of twins that are boys and they are 6 years old and a little girl that just turned 7 months old. It is tough to have 3 but I would not trade it for the world.
Great advice Emily, I've 2 boys and not planning on anymore 🤔.well never say never. As they say " 1 child is a pet...2 is a farm and 3 is a Zoo!!.". 😆. and yes people can say stupid things especially when you don't have a girl if you've only boys!!. Who cares about gender as long as they are happy & healthy!!. Xx
Haha Liv, this cracked me up. Thank you so much for watching xx
So true! I also have two boys and always get questions on when we are having a girl, and I’m kinda like... erm I think i would actually go crazy if I had a baby now 😂😅
Emily Norris ❤️ great video, really enjoyed watching it! but i just wanted to let you know that the screen texts at some point moved to the wrong subject.🙈🙈 don’t know if you noticed
Monika Daily Me too Monika🙈. Anyway we'd probably have another boy!!. Blessed as we are to have two fine men looking after us in our old age !. ..hopefully 😉X
Yes that's what I hope for too :) and I'm sure it would be another boy, but I wouldn't mind if it was, I'm over the trying for a girl thing. If I tried for another one it would be for a healthy baby, as cliche as it sounds ;) xxx
Mom of three here!
Thank you for your wonderful sharing!
I really struggle to take care of middle child.
This video is great timing! I am currently pregnant with number 3 and have been questioning my sanity haha. This video gives me hope that it will all be awesome!!! 😀😀😀😀
I have 2 kids, a girl (3yo) and a baby boy (2mo). My boy loves the sound of your voice, he was hypnotized while I was watching the video. 😊 So yes, using technology is definitely a big yes for me as well. And thank you for being the voice that calms down my baby. ❤
This couldn't of come at a better time! Thank you. Considering more kids 😱 I have two under two, twelve months apart, I'm almost 33 😱
My children's ages are 25, 23,21,20 and 15 the age gap was perfect they all played well together and now as adults they still get on really well. Third fourth and fifth all fitted in I found my second the hardest x
Great video and the music fitted so well in the background. These were really useful. I’m only 11 but I’ll definitely bare them in mind for the future.
11 Lauren!! Wow. Thank you so much for watching xx
Jack has been in hospital this week with bronchiolitis and we’ve both had a sickness bug - safe to say one of the worst weeks ever. Constant mumspiration on your channel Emily and always a video to cheer me up! Thank you 😘 xxx
The only thing that grows when shared? LOVE!
What a great video, definitely put things into perspective for me :) i would love a 3rd! 💖
Hi Emily. Your boys are so sweet. You can tell that they have a special bond. I have two daughters and found the transition from one to two to be quite overwhelming, so can't imagine having a third at the moment.
Will you make a video about babyled weaning? Jackson is eating so well. I'm impressed.
It's on my list I promise!! Thank you so much for watching xx
