This is me freaking out

I had my son four years ago. Shortly after his birth his dad died. So I became a single mom. It has been hard but a beautiful ride. I decided to pursue a second child as a SMBC. I also decided to become a licensed foster parent. I have not been able to get pregnant and do not have the money to continue trying or move on to IVF. Today I got a call asking me to foster two boys age one and two. I really want to bring them home but am basically freaking off about just the logistics. Like how do you cross the street when you can't hold all their hands? How do you watch three small children in a swimming pool? How do I fit three car seats in my car? Strangely the big stuff isn't what worries me, but the small stuff. Any words of advice?
Me (29) SMBC to beautiful boy (4) and TTC #2.

Crossing the street - hold the one year old on left hip, use other hand to hold 2 year olds hands and have 4 year old hold his other hand. Unless you've got a runner you should be ok
Swimming - don't do it alone. Stick to splash pads when you have 3 this little and bring a family member or friend (without their own kids) when you go to an actual pool.
3 car seats across sucks but can be done!
I am so impressed by people that can rise to these challenges and I look forward to hearing you laugh at how you worried about the "little" things!
Go for it!!
I had little ones at those exact ages, 4, 2 and 1. it was fine. I loved being a mom and I since I didnt know any different we just did it. now I rarely shopped with 3 kids but certainly we didnt stop living. parks, mall play area, beach etc.
