It's chaotic and noisy and wonderful. I love watching the new relationships form. It's lovely to see my baby become a big sister and my oldest doting on both of them. The little one just lights up when his big brother and sister are around.
It is tough at times although my oldest is at school so once he's there, I only have 2 for most of the day. I sometimes feel like I don't give any of them enough time and the washing pile is never ending.
But I wouldn't change it at all. #3 is a delight and has completed our family xx

Insanity!
I have a 23 month age gap for all of them and I do not recommend this. But I see your other two are a bit older, so you will be fine! honestly, siblings are the greatest gifts you can give your children ( in my opinion) and there will be good days, and tougher days, and they will love each other and hate each other. But all in all I'm so glad I have my three!

I have 3 but my youngest is only 9 weeks old so I feel like I can't really comment yet! But so far all I can say is that when it goes wrong it really goes wrong - I had a hyper 3 year old, an exhausted 17 month old and a constipated 9 week old all screaming for half an hour this evening typically on the one night I had a friend over. It was manic until one of them gave in and stopped and then eventually the others followed. but totally agree with pp about the relationships the children form - ds1 and ds2 gave got much closer while seeing ds2 be the big brother is so cute

It's early days here but so far, I'm loving it! My older two are only 16 months apart and my DS had silent reflux so it was full on for a while there. This time around I have a super easy baby and my older two are so much more manageable. I'm sure it will get harder when DD2 is on the move, but it just feels like our family is finally complete, which is lovely.

It's either choas or total bliss. I don't seem to have much middle ground. I love it and there friendships are amazing. You quickly learn to write off a bad day xxx
