 my girls are 3.5yo. just have the two, so can't offer
 advice re: three. but, just want to say there won't be
 much balance for a while. really. not to frighten you,
 but to give you permission to not expect it. please be
 gentle with yourselves. your son will have to adapt.
 please don't feel sheepish about having care for him. 
 the more hands the better. never turn down an offer
 for help. really. the first 4-6 months are pretty
 intense. the first 1-4 are basically survival. slowly
 life will normalize. the one year mark is a massive
 milestone. just keep putting one foot in front of the
 other. there's ever so much joy in your future! love
 that taryn offered a 'day in the life'! x

 i didn't go it alone. my husband was home at nights and
 on weekends. but i stayed home for three years without
 a babysitter, family (all on the east coast) and no
 housekeeping help. happy to talk if you want. just
 message me. getting the kids on a four meals/day
 schedule - 6/7/8am (waking), 12noon, 4pm, 7/8pm - was
 critical. naps fell into place. 9:30-11:30 stroller
 walk outside/nap; nap in cribs from 1-3; floortime play
 from 5-7 (or another stroller walk). really good
 timing that he's gone during these next few months from
 8-12mos while the kids are still taking two naps. once
 morning nap drops and merges with afternoon nap
 (anywhere between 11-16mos), things would be harder.
 you can do it! you might not shower much ;) but you'll
 get through it and it'll be empowering. really! msg if
 you want to chat.

 i had a few of these - basic nylon/spandex tank tops
 that i wore every day as a base layer. they provided
 tons of support while pregnant and post-partum as well.

 had a support band that was very uncomfortable and
 provided less support imo than the nylon/spandex tank.
