Going from 2 to 3 kids?

Backstory, I have 2 currently. 2.5 and 6mo and it’s been very hard. I think the age gap ties into it as they’re both so young but I can see it getting easier in a good way.

Also my husband works away and long hours when he’s home so I am solo a lot luckily my parents and sister are very very helpful! But of course I try not to ask for too much help

My heart feels like I will have a 3rd and that I’m not done? Is it just hormones and being in the first year stage etc?

I don’t know I’m just wondering what was it like for you going from 2 to 3 kids? I’ve found 1-2 hard as I feel outnumbered constantly and I feel guilty all the time like I can’t meet both their needs at the same time but again it may be the age gap?

if I were lucky enough to be pregnant with another I’d like to wait a bit so my youngest would be 4 or so

Since you wouldn't want another for a few years anyway, I would shelve this line of thought entirely for a good long while and just enjoy your existing kids. You can revisit this when the time is right.

Oh yes I’m not asking in a sense of I want peoples opinions to make a decision as it open to just having the 2 I have now they’re amazing!

it was just a thought that crossed my head really I just seen someone else I know announce a pregnancy of a third child on social media and I feel like I’ve seen a few lately haha! So it just got me wondering
