Can anyone who has been where I am give me any advice or insight on what's coming?!

For the record, my husband and I are very excited about the new baby and it was planned to be this way... :)

Sleepless nights, lots of crying (the children too), never-ending laundry, cooking, cleaning, sibling rivalry and jealousy, fighting...

And to level it out you'll have three beautiful children whose closeness in age will help foster companionship, love and a very tight knit family.

I'm sure there will be rough days, and minutes that feel like hours, and then you'll have those moments when you couldn't be any happier/proud/blissful.

I hope you have a great supportive network around you to lend a helping hand, and that your husband is a hands-on father that is ready and willing to take charge while you slip away for a bath by yourself, or a walk.. and that you can do the same for him.

Good luck, and congratulations!

As a mommy of four, going from 1 to 2 was the hardest, adding the third is a piece of cake. My first three were spaced just like yours, I was always asked if I had triplets. The boys were and still are very close to each other.

We will be going for our 5th in about 6 months. Best wishes to you and yours with your third addition!

Some people are just rude jerk, so ignore them. If you can financially take care of three kids this age range, then who has the right to judge you. I cant help you myself, cause I didn't have the same willpower as you, I waited 7 1/2 yrs. between mine, but good luck anyways.

wooooohooo! i'm expecting my 3rd in 8 years. all i got to say is GOOD LUCK!! you sure are brave. i deliberately waited until each kid was out of diapers until i moved on to the next one. i heard that once you get over having two, everything is a breeze. It's the swtiching from 1 to 2 that is a difficult change. and personally, i didn't find that hard.

and to that one moron that thinks she's stupid for not using b/c....she wasn't complaining! you know, some people do have families!!! (sorry, had to get that one out there)

Lots of running to Walmart to buy diapers and wipes and formula. Busy schedule, getting awakened at least 1-2 times per night. Sometimes sleepless nights. A lot of whining and crying, and a loud household.
But on the other hand, you can expect to see bonds between your kids, lots of kisses and hugs and giggles.

Oh my, I only had one child and stopped. You are going to have your hands full that's for sure. But if you just give lots of love and attention to all you will do fine. As far as what's coming it will be an adventure, I hope you have a good support system so you can have some time for yourself! Good luck and congratulations.

that's perfectly fine. i myself just gave birth 3 months ago with my third child, a boy. it refreshes memories of carrying a new born again in your hands...i was having fun when i open up again the box where i hid all the old baby stuff (mittens, booties, caps and among others).. at that time it feels like im a first timer again..

TOTAL CHAOS!
3 kids is gonna be hard. they will fight alot depending on the age and you won't have as much money between buying groceries and buying school supplies.
