Newbie here :-)

Well, after looking through the messages I thought I'd post and say hello
(waves) I'm due August 23rd with #2 (DD is 3) and I'm wondering 2 things...
is it normal for child #1 to become completely unmanageable around this
time? Or is it just the "terrible 3's" (which I've always heard as the
"terrible 2's" but am beginning to hear lately that 3 is worse.. yikes) and
am I completely nuts for within 3 years time forgetting just about
everything I learned from pregnancy and delivery of #1? <laughs> My doctor
keeps looking at me like I have 3 heads because I seem to have emptied the
recycle bin on half the pregnancy stuff I knew.. <grins>

Ah well. Have a nice night all :-)

Yes, in my experience with three children, when they turn three it becomes
horrible. I never had any problems at age two then three was a huge shock to
me. Hang in there. If you are having specific problems, post them and
perhaps we can help.

Welcome to the group, Nicole! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I don't
have much advice re: the behavior of #1, but it sounds like it is probably a
normal reaction to sensing "big change" in the house!

Welcome, Miss Nicole.
Only speaking from experience here, but, with my last two pregnancies, I
had a three year old at home. (My first three children were spaced three
years apart.) During the pregnancies, the three-year-olds acted up quite
a bit, but a couple of weeks after the baby arrived, they settled down
and became the helpful big brothers. Hope the same happens for you =-)

Regards,
Henrietta
