I think the hardest part about having three kids under three will be making sure they all get the attention they need. Loving them will be easy. Dividing up my time will be the hard part.
I struggled with this daily. I would feel so awful I would plan to take her by herself once a week for some 1 on 1 time. Every.single.time half way through she would get so bored and start saying she wanted to go home and see her brother. And we were not doing boring things , we were toy shopping and I was giving her piggyback rides into and around stores. She didn't even want that "special" time with me lol 😂 I was making a HUGE deal out of something that never even phased her or crossed her mind. Now I definitely do make sure I take time and give her hugs and have her sit with me, as I know she is independent; more than the rest. But trust me, your older two will pair off and have a blast playing. Take time to just "be" and make the quality time really count, but I think us moms REALLY blow things out of proportion lol 😂 here I was planning "girls day" and she didn't really even care. As she gets older I think I will still try and do something similar, but now that she's so small, she'd rather be playing ..
You'll be fine mama. Things have a way of working themselves out. Those fears will be put aside when you see the awesome bond that your kids have. Me going on my fourth, I realize I am no longer a "play mate" but now I am just their mom. Which is okay. I can still play with them, but they don't look at me to entertain them anymore! Hallelujah lol 😂
ETA: the first 3 months will suck, I'll admit that. Make sure your dh is involved as much as possible in the beginning. If you make it through the first 3 months, you will be cruising 🙂
