Im on number 4, I have an almost 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old.  I know how you feel, I was really worried with number 3, and I have days where I wonder what I got myself into with this one.  But you will be fine.  I found the transition from 2-3 so much easier then from 1-2.  And I do it by myself 2 weeks at a time while my husband is away from work.  The most important thing about keeping kids from acting up is consistency, something I struggle with, but its so important. Also making sure they are on a goid diet, getting enough sleep, and keeping them busy with activities, and ad much oiyside time as possible.

One weekends its my 5 n 4 yr old stepsons n my 3 n almost 2 yr old sons plus I'm pregnant with another boy . It can get pretty crazy with all those boys running around but they listen pretty good when they want lol . I personally think boys are very hyper but they,do need discipline

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and have 2 boys age 6 and 4. They constantly bicker and sometimes I do think what the hell am u doing having another but it will all work out fine. Keep them involved in the pregnancy and when u have baby. I've sat my two down and explained that mummy has a baby in her tummy and that they need to help look after the baby by not making mummy angry. They understood this and the past few weeks have been lovely! The thing is when they play up try to distract them. Hope everything works out ok for you :)
