Kids, do you have enough?

Someone told me recently that she heard that having 3 kids is easier than having 2 kids… and having 2 kids is easier that having just 1…

There is some truth to this… it’s not that its easier, but more likely we’ve gotten used to having kids and have more experience so things seem easier. I think back to when I just had my first son, I was stressed all the time, and I couldn’t wait for my husband to come home from work… (well, that part didn’t really change)

Today, I am managing all 3 kids with my husband out of town on business…

I have figured out that when we have our first child, we don’t want to miss a moment of their lives (I remember even falling asleep over his crib watching him), but now I feel justified in ignoring them sometimes… like when I need to update my blog for example.

So, in conclusion… having 3 is NOT easier! Its just that we are more experienced, don’t feel the need to experience all their “first times” anymore, and we just learn to ignore certain things… and we’re used to having no sleep… like last night when it seemed like the baby wanted to be fed every 2 hours, the toddler was wet every 2 hours, and the preschooler was having a bad dream every 2 hours!!

At least my husband was having a nice, undisturbed night! Anyone needs me to go out of town on business??
