Hey Gals!

Hello Ladies! I don't know how many of you remember me, but I am Leah! I have two little boys, a four year old named Ephram and a three year old named Simon. I have been away from the boards for the last couple of years while I focused not so much on growing a baby, but more on raising the two I have, and finishing my RN. I finished school in December and now I am a nurse in the NICU. I love it!

Now that my boys are getting bigger and school is done DH and I are thinking it might be time to start trying for one more baby. EEEEP! I am excied, and nervous all at the same time. I still have an IUD, but it will be coming out sometime this spring. Anyone out there with three or more want to share their stories or advice?

If you need a refresher about who I am and who my boys are, you can go check out my blog
www.squidmommy.wordpress.com I like to take pictures, so a lot of my work is displayed there!

I look forward to reaquainting myself with the ladies on the board and hopefully joining your ranks sometime this year!

oooohhhh realllllly?

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst...then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. ---Marilyn Monroe

I just had my third. The pregnancy was awesome all the way up until 35 weeks when I started to develop hypertension. Even then it was a lot better than the other 2. The delivery was easier and labor was a lot shorter. I was only in active labor for about 4 hours. Now I had to have a D&C this past Thursday and I am lucky to have my husband home to take care of the other 2. They are very understanding. My daughter is 5 and my son is going to be 3 in a couple weeks. I also recommend that you involve the older 2 in helping with the baby, i.e. the kids helped me give the baby a bath. That way they feel involved and like they are part of the baby's life in more than just being the big brothers. It is nice because they feel very important. Other than that it is not to hard of a transition going from 2 to 3. It has been real smooth so far. GL
