Mother Duck!
That's what I thought as I caught my reflection in the store window today. I had Abby in the cart and I was pushing it with one hand. Sammie was holding my other hand and Olivia had her hand. Just one more little one really seems to add alot to our family.
Today was the first time I took all 3 girls out by myself (besides the park). I haven't ever needed to go somewhere with all of them and Abby is already 7 weeks old. So I thought today would be the day. While we were browsing the aisles of Target several people said things like, "Oh 3 girls!" The little newborn makes everyone ooh and ahh, except for the young man who was our cashier at Borders who I doubt has been around many babies. He was a little flustered by Abby's screams.
I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of life again. It has been so great to spend the week at my parents house and to have a little extra time to myself. We're headed home tonight and Olivia has been sulking all day about wanting to see her daddy. He will be here shortly so we can drive home together. He's been at a conference all week and we've missed him.

Sounds like you've got it under control. I worry that the transition from two to three will be the most difficult.
I am still not sure whether Andy still gets flustered by baby screams. Actually, I am sure...he does. Especially if we are out in public and there is nothing we can do to calm the poor screaming infant.
I, on the other hand, have become quite good at ignoring any said screaming to the point where I usually get looks like, "Is that lady hearing impaired? She really needs to do something about her screaming child!"
The joys of parenting!
