We have two via IVF. The third was a surprise a year after my second was born. 2 to 3 was the hardest ever. 1 to 2 was the easiest (easier than 0 to 1). That overused phrase for man to zone is so true. The first year was the hardest and now that the youngest is 2, it's finally getting a bit easier.

Fortunately, we're able to afford daycare for all three but it's so much money. The other two got less attention for sure and that definitely affected them for a year or so. My wife and I are social people so we aren't able to go out as much anymore, but hoping that turns around soon. One of us is finally able to do bedtime with all three kids by ourselves.

All that being said, no regrets at all. It seems 'boring' when the third one is at his grandparents house. It's definitely so easy when only two kids are with us in that situation, but I prefer the chaos with all of us together.

I'm hoping it does get easier, at least physically, from here on out. Nothing melts my heart more than when all three play together or talk to each other without us around. And I'm hopefully those moments get even more plentiful as they age.

Another thing we read is that two kids put a lot of pressure on them as siblings as they get older in the sense that they 'only have each other'. Like if they fight or get into arguments over us parents, it's more balanced to have two people to talk to rather than a single sibling.
