The 3rd child

Are 3rd children always easy or have I just been remarkably lucky? I pinch myself every day at the moment as I cannot believe what an angel my Noah is! He has slept for 11 hours a night since he was 7 weeks old. He has 3 sleeps during the day, he just smiles all the time when he is awake, he really is no trouble. It is like there isn’t a baby in the house. I don’t want to tempt fate, as there is no sign of teeth yet, but he really does appear to be the perfect baby!

I keep thinking about this and can’t decide if it is the fact he is a boy and they are different to girls, it’s just his personality or if it is down to the fact that I am older and more relaxed as a Mother, or if it is simply because he has had to fit in around a very established family of 4! Whatever it is, it is amazing and has made my, very unexpected, return to the world of babies a fantastic experience. I had no desire to have another child and now I am so grateful that fate took control and brought us Noah. It has changed the dynamics of our family for the better and I truly believe it was meant to be. I would even consider going for number 4 now!
