Taking the leap to 3 kids? HELP!!!!

Hello!

We have 2 wonderful boys ages 3 and 1 and we're literally getting grey hairs making the decision to go for a 3rd. We're getting a bit older and would want to make this decision soon, so it would result in likely a 4 yr old, a 2 yr old and a newborn.

I was wondering how is the whole experience with 3 kids? Many have frightened me, telling me 3 is chaos, insane and openly saying it was significantly more difficult and made life very tough...

I am alone with the kids alot of the time due to my husband's work, but I am a stay-at-home mom, and love being with my boys. Right now, everhting is perfect... I'm almost afraid to rock the boat... but I cherish the idea of a large family, being an only child.

Neither my husband nor I have family anywhere near us, so very, very little support there...

How do you manage activities when they are in school? How is the day-to-day experience?

Any insight and discussion would be wonderful. We even tried flipping a coin... seriously...

Thanks :)

Cheryl
