      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 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. ❤

      @rulouri 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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

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 ❤️❤️

      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 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💁🏼

    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

    • @mrsemilynorris

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!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    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.

  • @MeetTheWildes
    @MeetTheWildes 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

    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. 👍🏻

    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.
