What did you find harder, or perhaps ‘a bigger shock to the system’. Going from zero kids to one, or going from one to two, two to three.
Sorry for the word-salad. I’d have written a shorter post, but I don’t have the time.

Zero to one was a shock, but we knew people with kids and were as ready as you can ever be for your first.
One to two was easiest. Two three was a bit hard as it was a reset on what we could do as a family.
The hardest was from three to five. Twins are hard. It’s like two kids at once! Also now we can’t move in a single normal car. At first, because it wasn’t just a family of seven, but a double buggy and all the stuff you need for babies, we just got a massive Transit. Literally a bus of kids.
They twins are now five, at school, and we just gone down to a normalish seven seater. It’s still overwhelming at times. If we come to visit, I feel we are over overwhelming our hosts.
I see families of fours kids out sometimes and think “That’s a lot.” And we have one more that!
You just have to deal with it. Least all of ours are healthy with no conditions to manage. Many families with less kids have it harder.
