I haven'...So I have 4, and they're old now. I haven't had a baby in years. But those first few months? I let my big girls grow into their responsibilities. A lot. They were 8 and 6, and I counted on a ton of help. Also, with 4, I started doing at least 1 load of laundry every day. That helps me stay above water with that particular chore (and see the part about letting the big girls help? They became master folders.)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239442909091675067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-85437054459788684302010-09-03T14:39:01.132-06:002010-09-03T14:39:01.132-06:00P.S.

**Remember---ever...My tips to having four children:<br />**Remember---every phase is temporary. They will grow, they will potty train, they will eat with manners, they will dress themselves and hopefully do laundry..........this too shall pass!<br />**Remember---they are children. Not plagues or diseases. They are a gift meant to bring joy, not a death sentence. Every gray hair and ounce of cellulite will be well worth it from the other side my dear. <br />**Remember--- take a deep breath and realize how lucky you are. You WILL miss these days, they are a brief second of time. You will forever have four amazing people that will forever call you, and only you, MOM. <br />**Remember--- Call me, I have chocolate. :)Emileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331094223395187430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-75682753314488282202010-09-03T08:00:55.615-06:002010-09-03T08:00:55.615-06:00I've got four and I can honestly say that addi...I've got four and I can honestly say that adding the fourth was much easier than adding the third. By the time number four came along I was used to being outnumbered and there were older kids that were really helpful.Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749678705105524500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368950140329799225.post-61135904363886672852010-09-03T00:36:09.824-06:002010-09-03T00:36:09.824-06:00(deep breath) You can do it, you can do it!
