@davidlionheart I strongly suggest having a plan in place for help. We just had our third and we’ve put up more money for babysitters and mother’s helpers. It’s made a big difference. Just having an extra set of hands makes the baby phase doable with 2 other children. My other two are also 4.5...

@melissauk I’m so happy for you! How did you find your coach?

@melissauk Ooh, I’m interested. Did you fix your metabolism through restricting and tracking? Or did you do it another way?

@tjschaffer I live in the US. I lie every time.

@morirach Apologies if this is long - I’m in the same boat! About to tell my whole life story here… After college (and long before kids), I had gained a little weight. I discovered CICO and put myself on a 1200 cal/day diet. I lost 30lbs over 6 months and felt great! Not only that, but I was...

@shoemaker My 20 month old is kinda sick, she fell asleep 3 hours earlier than her normal bedtime. Tonight will either be great or a disaster. Pray for me.

@colossal No advice, just solidarity. I’m due any day now with baby #3 and people ask “if I’m done yet”. I give an honest answer - “probably but still undecided” - and have gotten a few negative responses to having a 4th. I nod and take it - I give neutral responses like “well, these are all...

@morgannicole555 You’ll need a Discount Den membership for the kids fly free on Tuesday/Wednesday deal. Wagons can be checked for free at the gate which makes lugging car seats/kids easier. Personal items (fit on floor under seat) are free but carry on luggage and checked bags you’ll need to pay...

@morgannicole555 Frontier is a learning curve, once you know the tricks the flight can be good. I would only take it for flights 3hrs or less, but not for cross-country flights personally

@morgannicole555 I’m pregnant with #3, living in HCOL city, making less than you do (~$300k HHI). We also take vacations every year but we budget hard. For example, last December, we flew Frontier on Tuesday/Wednesday because kids fly free on those days. We stayed with family which eliminated...

@roguefriar This is one of the reasons why we are considering a 4th lol

@jojoz Ikr?? One thing I’ve learned about parenting is that so much is outside of our control. Our kids come out wired to be a certain way and we have to navigate accepting their personalities while also trying to shape them into good human beings. Tough balancing act.

@jojoz The age gap between #2 and #3 will be 2.5 years. Same as you - I had 2 under 2 but adjustment wasn’t super hard because my older child has an independent streak and loves to help. I would’ve waited a bit longer for my third but I’m 35 and was worried about possibly fertility/pregnancy issues.

@person47 I’ve lied every time and will continue to do so. I don’t like bedsharing, I’d love it if my babies slept in their own cribs/bassinets, but they haven’t and I doubt the next one will. No amount of lecturing will change it so it’s not worth sitting through that again.

@ognerd Wow, I could have written this! Our third will be born in March and by then, we will have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and a newborn. We are deciding to bite the bullet and buy a 3-row minivan or make it work in our sedan. Also not totally sure if this will be our last kid. What are the...

@ambereyes12 Is your husband stressed about day to day finances in addition to the big costs?
