Which transition was hardest?

[texan2]

I’m sure there are literally 100 of these within the sub. But I’m just wondering how everyone dealt with the transition from 2 to 3.

We found the transition from 1 to 2 much harder than from 0 to 1. But, we also don’t feel done.

Just curious how you all would rank the difficulty of each new addition.

@texan2 Our transition from 1 to 3 was pretty rough. Our "2nd (and probably last)" ended up being our "2nd and 3rd (and 110% done)".

I prefer to expand my brood one at a time, thank you very much!

@texan2 I had twins first so it was 0 to 2. Adding a third kid barely registered. Some logistical difficulties in the early days but once we figured out some systems, she rolled right into our routines. It could be her personality but I think third kids also just learn to go with the flow!

@texan2 1 to 2.

@texan2 4 to 5. Preemie with birth differences in the NICU for 30 days, followed by many surgeries. Harder than 5 to 7 in one fell swoop. I feel like these things are just entirely the circumstances at time of birth more than any particular jump.

@texan2 1 to 3 because I had twins that were preemies

@texan2 Going from 1 to 2 made me do insane that everything since then seems like cake.
