I've recently discovered I'm pregnant with accidental #4. When it arrives I'll have a 4,3 and 2 yr old, so total chaos already. I'm seriously panicking but little things keep making my heart sink and very occasionally soar. Tell me what it's like, I need to accept this and cope before the morning sickness kicks in fully and brings me even lower.
The car! Thank god we've a 7 seater already but the back seats are so hard to get into with baby seats even in only 2 of the middle seats.
Childminder! Thank god ive a nanny and she is thrilled with the news but 4 seats will not fit in her car. I'll have to get her on our insurance and buy another little car for DH to take to work occasionally when he needs it.
Bedtime, I've a good routine now but that's because 2 are in cots. Only one will be when this one comes and the one coming out of the cot is a strong minded one. Bedtime could get tricky.
They all sleep ok but that because they have a room each. It was already tricky when my parents visit (fairly regularly) as no spare room. Now they are going to have to share. They without a doubt will be up earlier.
Nobody will ever look after them for us will they. 3 was already pushing it.
I'm going to shout more than I already do aren't I. And be more exhausted.
All the exciting things I'd planned like Disney will have to be pushed back another 2 yrs.
My mum is going to be so disappointed, and worried, and stressed for me. She's already been so critical of the 3 being close together and how tough it is.
On the plus side, we'll have another little brother/sister for our gorgeous gang. Without question they will be unique and special and we won't imagine them not existing once they arrive.
