There is a bit of mom guilt there, juggling equal time with each of my kids. "Cameron is the oldest so he's doing great, but Isabella is missing her time with Mommy as I was at her beck and call before. They're really cute, even fighting over who gets to hold her, it's really sweet.

Karen, who lives with company director James and their three kids in Taunton, Somerset, UK, said: "It feels so great to have all three of our children now, we feel so incredibly lucky.
