We've been...

 playing with friends...
 playing at the park...
 ...and looking cute.
 going to the zoo to celebrate friends birthdays!
 checking out monkeys...
 and birds!
 enjoying time with friends!
 posing in front of the birds.
 giving presentations on heroes!  It was Henry Ford FYI.
 growing and growing.  Only 6 weeks left and I am getting nervous!  I need advice from the experts (aka those who have three or more) on how to take care of all three!  I look forward to cuddling with a newborn and smelling him (I love the newborn smell) and staring at him and having him sleep on me, but how am I going to balance that time with my other two, errands and meals, etc.  I have a feeling we will be flying by the seat of our pants for a while.  Frozen meals and take out will be my friends.  Makeup and dressing up will be a luxury.  Sleep will come in many small doses.  I can do this!

4 Quick Thoughts:

I highly recommend getting together with a friend or two and making a whole bunch of freezer meals. We didn't necessarily LOVE all of the meals, but adjusting to life with 3...well, the freezer meals helped (if I remembered to thaw them in the fridge or left enough extra cook time) I also think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easily you'll find a groove. Somehow it all works out! Good luck! Oh- and beg your mom for a cheap house cleaner for a few months after! My mom did that for me. I felt so lame at first, but it was so nice. Just once or twice a month was just enough!

Good luck my dear! Wahoo! My advice, make the older two hold on to the sides of the stroller/shopping cart. And, don't plan on going out as much as you want. I'm getting ready for 4 and I just know my limits now. I won't push it. And, I'm sure there will be those mid-store meltdowns when everyone looks at me like, she is out of her league, what was she thinking. I'm fully prepared to just roll with those punches. As for the meals, cereal is great!
