Ch ch ch ch changes
We've got more kids on the way. As in twins - due soon, and it will bring our grand total to 4. Who has four kids? We will! And we're all fired up about it.
This does cause some concern among the adults, though. Questions like: where will we all sleep? Will we sleep? (likely not, for a while) should we get some help? (definitely) Can we afford this? (definitely not!) So we made a list. A long list with everything we needed to do: house renovations, buying stuff, getting ready, finding someone to come help us! We're knocking down the 'to do's' and we're just about ready. We have an au pair coming in a couple of months, I got a new job for more dough, and I've made a spreadsheet estimating how much everything is going to cost.
It's going to cost a lot. Think luxury minivan. Think trip around the world. Think new boat. But hopefully we'll be OK. I think we will, what with the new job and the (relatively) new organize our finances mantra. I think we will.

Welcome to the 4 children home!
We started out the tough way. Twins, then we had 2 kids (a year apart), after the twins were 4 years old.
I'll tell you that it's definitely much easier going from twins (and the lack of sleep), to single children, even if they are a year apart. This allowed each of us to get a solid 3 - 3 1/2 hour sleep in between feedings.
The one groove we got into when the twins were infants/babies. One of us fed both kids during one feeding (in this case formula, and staggered so that one was fed, and then the other one ... after burping the first of course :) ).
Good Luck!
