Joining you with my 3rd! (Intro)

[pinktoes]

The shock is starting to wear off, I'm not in as much disbelief.  We weren't planning on trying for a 3rd but never say never, I guess.  DH and I are very happy to welcome a new baby around January 25.  We haven't told our 2 daughters yet, or anyone else.  Haven't decided when or how we're going to tell people.

I lurked on GKU but never posted.  I decided to dive in here.

A little bit about me: My faith is very important to me, but I enjoy a good F-bomb.  I love camping and Halloween, Halloween camping is one of my favorite trips of the year.  Last year we dressed all as Star Wars characters.  This year Pa, Ma, Mary & Laura Ingalls is a strong possibility, we'll see what the girls decide.  I have worked numerous education jobs but never as a teacher.  I'll go back to being a SAHM when baby comes.

I look forward to getting to know you ladies!

Welcome - you sound awesome! I love LOVE Halloween, but Halloween camping just sounds epic!

@amandflow, they are 7 & 9. A bit of an age difference, but it'll all work out. Right? RIGHT??

14joa31, Halloween camping is SO much fun. Trick-or-treating from campsite to campsite, sites are all decked out in some very impressive decorations (I just do the stuff I've picked up at after Halloween clearance sales), haunted hay rides. It's the best way to close out the camping season, IMO.

It'll be fine, don't worry, lol. DW's sisters are 13 and 21 years younger than her and they all get on great.

That's great to hear!  I think my girls will do great and their ages mean that they can help more with baby.  They'll also have a better ability to understand everything that happens.

pinktoes I told dh if we try for a 4th there is going to be a much bigger gap. I'm already dying at the thought of 3 under 4.

I love the 2 year age gap between my girls.  Now, they're into a lot of the same things.  They have their own friends, but a lot of their friends have siblings in the other's grade/class.  It's a lot of overlap, in a good way.

Oh I love my 25 month gap right now, it's working out just fine, but I really struggled for the first year because the second never slept. Like ever. This one will be 23 months younger and it's got me nervous. Next time around we will be trying out a bigger gap just to know the difference because mama might lose her mind.
