I’m pregnant with twins so I’ve jumped straight from having 1 to 3!!! Thank you for this positive video on being a mum of 3 💖
How are you doing?i had a 5 year old and newborn twins...1 to 3 was crazy...having two babies at once who need your care all the time. And then to boot,one of my girls has special needs,more medical than I could have anticipated. I just wish I had more hands!! And time
Mum of three here 🖐🏾 just a quick comment to say that as mothers, we are all doing a fabulous job! Great video Emily.
A la Waiki well said!
I’m currently pregnant with my 3rd & I really appreciate this video! Thank you.
Ypur middle child will need to feel loved by you too and positive attention which fr what
Yes but are you smart enough to know your middle child will need your positive attention to and to feel loved. Most parents with middle children are doing a garbage job.
How did you go having a third
I can't believe people asking you if Jackson was a mistake? Some people!!...
ikr, so rude!
It's unbelievable, people are so rude.
It's always rude when people ask if your child was a 'mistake'
Anja van de Loo I know! Even if the child wasn't planned, there's a difference between a mistake and a surprise!
Curly Proverbz the things people say! Unbelievable!
I am the oldest of five. I love holidays when everyone is around and the noise and laughter. My favorite part of growing up was having siblings and it's so fun to look back on !
As the mom of 8, I can honestly say having 3 is the hardest....when we went from 3 to 4, it was somehow strangely easier and #5 hardly made a ripple in the dynamics of our family. I had 5 kids in 6 years, so they were very close together, then 5 years later (after being told I couldn't have any more) we had 3 more in a 5 year span. No matter how many you have, HAVE FUN! The time flies even on days you think it's dragging.
Really 8 kids why you dont need that many kids its just dumb
@@tripnation5647 LOL! They don't think so!!
Good for you 🥰 well done 👏🏼 blessings to you and to your family 🌸
I have three I'm single... newborn is not quite one month old...my mother is bitter and won't help cook or do anything. I hate being back home. Need help financially.
I juz found I m positive today morning. And I have 2 elder boys.
I had a severe operation where my gynec said I will never get preganent again. Infact its impossible, and I dono how this happened and I m preganent again. One of my cord is removed from uterus. My gynec said, I would get preganent only through ivf. I dono what call should I take
I have 3! 7 year old girl, 4 year old girl and 11 month old boy. I love it, and even though it is harder now splitting my time between the 3, seeing the love they all have for each other makes it so worth it. The older kids loose some one on one attention from us, but its made up with the love they gain from having another sibling. ❤
That’s exactly how I feel right now. We’re having boys ages 8yo, 3 yo, and 2 months. The oldest seems to have lost some attention, but he is at a stage where he can appreciate being alone for some time and he also knows to ask for attention when he really misses being seen and heard one on one.
Well said!
How is it with the 7 year old and 11 month old? As in age gap?
@@shazzy3141 so it's been a few years since my comment. My kids are now 11, 9 and 5. The oldest and youngest have the best relationship out of the 3 and always have. My son (5) adores his biggest sister because she has the patience to understand he is little and treats him so well. Middle daughter just fights with everyone 🤣
@@dishonesty lol that’s so cute 🥰
I have 3. It's bloody hard work 😂
Absolutely loved this and so true! When I had my third baby girl everyone asked if I was disappointed or wanted to try for a boy and always assumed she was a mistake. Having three children who are all the same sex in my opinion is the most special gift xx
Having 3 kids in 1920: Good God woman, you're practically barren!
Having 3 kids now: 🤔
You are an absolutely phenomenal mother Emily. It is so inspirational to see you talking about how you take care of your kids! Thanks for sharing your advice!
Hi i'm new to your channel. I have been really lost these last couple of days my dad recently passed away and I just found out I am pregnant with my 3rd child, so many crazy emotions and tears. Your video helped me ease the nerves of even thinking about another little one running around, I just wanted to say thank you ❤️
The love and adoration you have for your family shines through Emily, it's a beautiful thing. Side note: your makeup looks gorgeous, would be great to see an updated makeup routine when/(if?!) you have the time to film one.
Oh my god Emily! I’m in tears! This was such an honest and heart to heart chat! I’m so happy that you did this! I have two boys that are three years apart and you definitely inspire me to have a third and be proud and in love even if it does turn to be another boy! I would love to be a mom of three boys just like you!! If only I could :);) I love your family and I watch your videos daily without fail after I put my boys to bed :) Keep up the awesome work Emily!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've got 4 kids. They grow up so fast. I thought it was hard work when they were babies, but believe me, it gets harder as they get older.
This comment calm me down 🤣 thinking of having a third.
Soo nice to see your comment
O no🙄
Could i ask why xx
Everybody told me it is getting harder but to be honest I strongly disagree the older they get the easier it gets. My oldest is 9 she was the hardest one as a baby now she is the easiest one. the one in the middle is also getting easier with age.
I love the age gap recommendation! Thank you so much for sharing Emily! You make having 3 boys look easy. I know it's a lot of work but I just love your positivity and how realistic you are! ♡
I just love all your videos. It's like I'm sitting with someone not watching them on a screen. Your so engaging and so easy to watch. I love to binge watch your videos and look out for them all week!! Xxx
Gosh I love the honesty and practical tips in this video, rather than just saying it will all be ok e.g thinking about a bigger age gap if you don’t have loads of help (which we don’t), and being brave enough to mention the middle child issue. We’re really thinking about a third and this has been really helpful xx
Great advice, Emily :) You are so lovely and such a wonderful Mum! I Love how positive your attitude is towards parenting, it's so refreshing and uplifting to watch Xxx
Mum of 3 here too! Best thing is seeing the relationships between them all...my eldest 2 dote on the baby.
Very timely. I just had my 3rd baby on Val's day and I can relate so well with this. You are amazing, Emily
My third is 7 weeks and it’s been pretty tough! But I’d never change any of it for the world, we planned all 3 of ours and they are perfect
Ah congratulations Charlotte. So good to hear. Go you! Thank you so much for watching xx
U got me all emotional with that last point. I could see the love in your own eyes when you said that.❤
Ashiya Jahangir I thought I was crazy for tearing up at that last point 🙈💙
Chloe Chapman i know ryt hun. x
Loved this Emily! We have three children who are 5, almost 3 and 13.5 months so I related to so much of what you said ❤️
Bianca Clinch - I have 5 (w/ASD occasionally he feels like twins haha) 3 and 7 months
Emily I’ve just sat this morning with a cuppa and watched your video. It actually feels like I’m sitting with a best friend or sister..... you’ll be thinking weirdo alert!!😜 what I mean is your just soo lovely and give off this aura... even on camera. 💕 also no wonder you keep wanting more kids are they are just gorgeous!! I would have another as I mentioned to you before. The only thing is there would be an 9 year age gap. Anyway love the video 👍🏻 xx
Fantastic video as always Emily! I have a 15 month baby girl and thinking of having a 2nd child next year and you just made me feel so much more confident in making this decision.
Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing more amazing videos xxx
Jackson is about the same age as my first, and watching your videos has taught me so much about being a calm, organized and happy mum. And seeing your three boys make me want to have more children as well- you are truly a supermom Emily!! Xx
So lovely to have 3 gorgeous boys. You do such a good job. Being a Mum is hard work. Xxx
As a fellow mother of 3, I completely agree with everything you said!
This was really insightful. I have two boys who are three and almost 2 and I think about a third child every single day but there are so many reasons not to! It’s really hard as I don’t want to regret not having one. Your video was very truthful Emily, I think you’re honest and kind and deserve every success x
Did you have your third baby?
Thank you for the video! Sharing your truths about being a mum of 3 is full of hope for most parents probably. I have one boy and i deffinitley want more children. I admire the way you talk about parenting, it is always full of love and you never put the downsides first, i love that!
One more thing, you are not old and you don't look old either, so... who cares about hateful comments, right? :)
Your advice is so helpful! Your doing an amazing job at being a mother honestly your my inspiration . Great video xx
I was having such a bad day and then I saw the notification of your new video, inmediately changed my mood! I'm not even a mum, I'm 22 and still live with my parents. Never really looked forward to being a mum, but you and your channel made such a huge difference on my perception of parenthood! Love all your content, you're such a lovely family and I must admit I have a little crush on Fraiser, he's so sweet. Anyway thank you so much for sharing your life with us!! Lots of hugs and love from Uruguay ❤
Thank you so much for watching xx
What a great video, definitely put things into perspective for me :) i would love a 3rd! 💖
Thank you for this my love ... Expecting my second... Hats off to you for doing such a great job with three. xox
I loved this Emily! I'm just about to have baby no.2 in a few weeks. I love how positive you are about having your 3 boys ❤️ you can just tell that you know how blessed you are 😊
Love this! I have two boys with a 3 year age gap and thinking of having another with another 3 year or 2.5 year gap. I just worry about the obvious stuff - going out with them all on my own, crossing roads etc. Seeing you cope so well with 3 makes me feel like I could do it!!! xx
Emily thank you so much for your honesty & for keeping it real, I really appreciate it, I’m a mum of a 6 week old and not likely to have any more too old now (43). Thank you for letting everyone into your home & your family life each week, you are truly amazing. I’ve fallen in love with your young men seeing them grow up in front of the camera it’s as though your family are apart of my extended family. I can’t wait to see your next vlog. Don’t do anything different you are doing a fantastic job, Matt is lucky to have such a wonderful wife/soulmate.😃😃😃
Love all of your videos! I’ve got 3 boys too and can relate to everything you said :) Especially the last bit xx
What’s it like raising three boys ?
Another fabulous video Emily 💗 Thank you for being honest, but positive at the same time. I have 1 daughter but would love 3+ so this video was very informative xo
I'm due with my third in 5 days, I have two girls and this one is a boy. People constantly say how I must be so happy that I got a boy which I am but I love having girls and totally wanted another one :) My husband works in health care and when he tells his patients that he's having a third most people ask if he's insane or that he must love punishment. People just say ridiculous things and you totally have to ignore them. Great video :)
Brodie Couch I just had my third (a boy) after two girls and people are always commenting on how we must be happy we finally have a boy, we would have been happy (maybe a teeny bit more) with a girl. I find family is the worse with comments and like to congratulate me on giving them a boy. Just have to smile and tell my girls to ignore them lol
Also it's been easier to go from two to three kids then it is was going from one to two kids
May i ask.. how is your experience a couple of Years later having 2 girls and a boy ? We are considering a third child, but i can relate to have a preferance to have another girl. How are you looking back on your comment back then?
Love your honesty and vulnerability in videos like this, i'm only on my first at the moment but would love to have three (or more!) and its so great to hear the honest highs and lows 😀 love your videos! Xx
Mommy of three girls and I really Love this
My dearest Emily; I came across your channel few days after having my third child (today she is six months old). Thank you so much for your positivity and kindness. You are a beautiful person inside out. Wish you and your family love and happiness THANK YOU
Such a sweet video! The ‘wee’ point is definitely on point :))
Haha so true right. Thank you so much for watching Georgia xx
Emily Norris it is even more ‘fun’ when also your husband comes from nowhere and somehow this private thing turns into a family meeting!! Crazy times .... before having children you never even assume such things could happen haha
I have 3 too and my heart feels so full and complete. We are blessed Momma's 😊 loved this video. Everything was so true.
Having three boys is amazing.
There's never a dull moment.
Bringing them up on my own is soo hard but I wouldn't change a thing.
As usual another fab video Emily. Always so real xx
Brilliant video Emily, well done! You’ve raised some amazing points!xx
I love your channel Emily. It's so inspiring to watch your videos!
Love this video! I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old and we want another one but not yet haha I love hearing people's experiences with 3! Thank you for always being positive! Being a mom is such a blessing!!
Your videos are always really well thought-through. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I love what you said about not worrying that you won't have enough love to go around with more kids. It's a very positive comment for those who are contemplating on having more kids. You're such a lovely person.
I also have 3 (5,4 and 1) and think your tips are spot on! Love watching you for tips and ideas Especially when im struggling and things are getting stressful x
Emily first let me say Hi from South Africa, I love your channel so much all your tips and hack are advice I use as an au pair everyday. I love the way you speak and the fact that you never linger and talk too much about certain things. You always keep me interested and I look forward to watching your videos all the time. Lot of love Jess
Jessica Stoch I love this about her style too! Do not like the youtubers that just go on and on about different topics, she is always concise and engaging! :)
Oh yay fellow South African ❤️❤️❤️
I'm still in uni and not a mom yet, but I can't wait to have 3 kids of my own one day! I absolutely love your videos - you've made me feel so prepared for when that finally happens. LOVE U!
Love that sweater, the color looks so pretty on you! Thank you for the great tips!
You do such a good job Emily, they’re great boys 💕
Great insights! I am always amazed how well you do with your children that you make me want to have more...then I realize, I would not cope as well as you. You are a superwoman!
Love your videos. Love your honesty, and look forward to your uploads x
I have 3 children 7,3,2 it’s hard work sometimes but it’s amazing, my mum also had three but a massive age gap between me (the youngest) & my brother (the middle) of 8 years & time I was older enough to understand my brother was a teenager & I was alone doing things that’s why I had my kids close together x
Great video and the music fitted so well in the background. These were really useful. I’m only 11 but I’ll definitely bare them in mind for the future.
11 Lauren!! Wow. Thank you so much for watching xx
All very true! We have three- ages 7, 6 and 2 and we are also expecting TWINS this summer lol. Now that is going to be a ride! 😀
How is life going? Congrats on having a big beautiful family! 💜💜💜
Need hard work
Aw Emily I’ve been here for a while and I REALLY think you’re doing a absolutely brilliant job💕✨your my goal to be when I’m a mum one day❤️
Ah thanks Sarah, such kind words. Thank you so much for watching xx
I'm a fellow Mum of 3 Emily and I felt the exact same as you (in the beginning). My 3rd was by far my easiest baby, he just slotted into our routine, he didn't create any extra work as I was already doing it for 2, he was such a chilled and easy baby that i actually considered a 4th... But then.... he got to 3 ish and it was like some one had flipped a switch on my life and I realised that having 2 children and a BABY was a doddle but having 3 CHIlDREN is a different kettle of fish! 😂😂 now they are 11, 9 and 6 and man are they hard work! I wouldn't change them though, treble the work but treble the love right ❤️❤️
I’m expecting our 5th and last! 8,5,3,&1Just got a mini van and adding a master room to the house! It’s a must. Love this video!
I am due to have my 3rd in May so this video was perfect timing for me. I love your UA-cam videos, you are so down to earth.
Omg! I was just watching your old video on coping with three kids and a new one on the same topic just popped up! Yay :)
Gauthamy Trishul Me too, the same experience
I love this video!! I have thought of this subject so much! Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much for watching Vanessa xx
What a lovely video! Your boys are lucky to have a Mum who is so devoted to them. I come from a family of three and there was always enough love to go around :-)
I have 2 year old (28moths) and I have a 4month old. Both boys, my eldest has autism and it's so hard. We didn't know this when I was pregnant.. life is crazy at times , and my baby has started to teeth now too. Emily I love your videos so much , you keep me sane and I get so much from you , from a mother to a mother. Thank you for being so so real. Don't ever change. We all love you xx 😘
You have so much wisdom Emily and you help so many by sharing it!✨💖✨
Such encouraging words to those who have second thoughts or even were worrying about having a 3rd child.
Every mom knows how hard is it,but they bring us so much joy!Great tips Emily!I have two and my heart wants one more,but my mind doesn't.🙂😢
Plus most parents are too dumb for three because most parents are too moron to know the middle child needs at least some positive attention.
Most parents are too dumb not to know the middle child should not be neglected.
Iv got three and just before she was born i thought how will I love her just as much.
But it's so true how big your heart grows ❤ x
Love this video, im pregnant with my 3rd and this was really helpful & comforting ❤️
Love your videos...and so refreshing to hear how is really is. You are my mum crush! You make me feel so much more informed and way less anxious in this whole “winging it in parenthood”.
On the same theme have you done/can you do moving from one to two kids please? Did a quick search and couldn’t find anything...
I'm pregnant with our 3rd daughter:) I'm worried about the transition but I've been watching these videos and I'm feeling better about it
Jack has been in hospital this week with bronchiolitis and we’ve both had a sickness bug - safe to say one of the worst weeks ever. Constant mumspiration on your channel Emily and always a video to cheer me up! Thank you 😘 xxx
Great video Emily!! Everything you say is absolutely true! As a mom of 4 daughters 13 - 20 , the ridiculous comments from strangers do eventually stop when the “baby” is around school age. Most likely because people are unable to tell if the girls are siblings or just a group of friends hanging out. It’s temporary but certainly very annoying!! Keep up the great work!!!
This was so helpful! I really went back and forth on deciding whether or not to have a third. I'd always envisioned myself with 3, but was worried about trips, transportation (avoiding a mini van lol) and now I'm feeling a lot better about things :)
I have just one little girl of 13 months and I'm already overwhelmed from time to time. She is very lovely but demanding baby too. We are raw vegan Family living in France and I'm watching your channel very often. thank you for this message as I'm thinking about having another baby soon too and maybe a third one... You are giving us - the first time mums - courage and strength and the feeling that we can do it too :) You are wonderful mum!
You are so sweet and give so much thought and work into your amazing videos God has truly blessed you I am a watcher of your videos forever 💗
This is brilliant. I am happy with just two to be honest. I am shattered with them so hats off to you with your three.
Yay! Bonus video 😍😍
“Get ready for people saying dumb stuff” 🤣🤣🤣
So true... we’ve gotten to the point where we guess which of the three unimaginative phrases we’ll hear most on a day out. Love this video xxx
Great video as always ❤
This video is great timing! I am currently pregnant with number 3 and have been questioning my sanity haha. This video gives me hope that it will all be awesome!!! 😀😀😀😀
I’m Mum of two and decided to stop there. Both my boys have learning disabilities and I would feel extremely guilty bring another life into this world when they need me so much. I think you are a wonderful mum and your boys look so happy! Thanks for the great video x
Ah this is my constant thought about having more, that I'd feel guilty on the others. Thank you so much for watching Julie and I have such respect for mothers like yourself xx
👋🏼 Mum of 3 (8 & 3 year old girls, 13 month old boy) life is busy, everyday I wish there were more hours in the day but there’s never a dull moment 😍 wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you for your candid videos, really enjoy them
Watch your videos all the time. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment on this video. I also have 3 children ages 6, 5 and a 10 months old (2 boys and a girl in the middle). I just couldn’t agree with you more especially about ‘middle child syndrome’. You do however make it look so easy but I also like your honesty 😄. Keep those videos coming, they’re really helpful.
From another mom in the uk 🤗
woohoo Sunday video love you ur videos are the highlight of my day xoxox😍
Always a pleasure watching you. I can so relate to you I myself have 3 boys 9 ,7 and 18 months.
Great video Emily!! Due with our second in June and hoping for a third down the road!
I absolitely love this video. I have 3 kiddos also and related 120% when you said the 3rd just goes with the flow lol mine also...she follows the lead of the rest. Also the middle child needing certain care or attention for being that middle "ackward" grey area. Oh i love it. Keep on keepin on dearest 😊✌💖
Thanks for this video, I'm having no 3 in a few weeks and I'm so excited :) xxx
The NORRIS Family Rocks!!! You're a great family and such wonderful parents, you are blessed, Amen.
My 1.5 yr old daughter loves watching your videos. I thought maybe it was coincidence that she was completely compelled and quietly sitting on my lap when I turned a video on (she usually NEVER sits still), but it's kind of impossible to deny it after a while. She especially loves the "routine" videos and seeing what the kids are up to.
This is such a sweet video. I found your channel because I'm currently trying to conceive my first baby. When it happens I'm gonna be asking sooooooooo many questions, haha!
Totally argee. I have 3 girls. And after the third my love grew for all of them even more. I love it. Your video's are 👍
What’s it like raising three girls ?
