I have to make sure I have enough hands (thank God for Tanner) and enough snacks (the most important thing honestly). also someone is ALWAYS needing something. always. I haven't gone to the bathroom alone in months hahah. ## What's Actually Easier Than I Expected here's the thing nobody told me — by the third baby you actually know what you're doing. like with Stella I was googling everything at 3am in a panic. with Cherry I'm like "oh she's fussy, she's probably tired" and I just handle it. the confidence that comes with experience is real and it makes such a difference. ## The Best Part Nobody Talks About watching your older kids become big sisters. I literally cannot talk about this without crying hahah. Stella is SO nurturing and responsible and Ozzy is the sweetest most gentle soul with Cherry. they fight over who gets to hold her and who gets to pick her outfit. my heart is so full it could burst :,) ## What I Wish I'd Known that it's okay to not have it all together. that some days the house is a mess and dinner is cereal and that's FINE. that asking for help isn't weakness it's wisdom. and that the love doesn't divide — it multiplies. I was so worried about that and I shouldn't have been. there is more than enough love to go around ❤️ to any mama about to have her third — you've got this. it's wild and chaotic and beautiful and you're going to be amazing at it. I promise :,) ## More from Lo Beeston [ ![Help a Girl Out: My Last-Minute Outfit Dilemma (and How I Deal with It lol)](https://d2xsxph8kpxj0f.cloudfront.net/310519663356698318/Z2xfZkR73D94no7hEnVkEW/instagram/lobeeston/1771518582943-fbkzk5.jpg) Mom Life ### Help a Girl Out: My Last-Minute Outfit Dilemma (and How I Deal with It lol) You guys know I'm always asking for your help with my outfits, bc tbh I'm the most indecisive person on the planet hahah.
