Picture in the link is in my garage. I have four 14/2 cables. All whites are nutted together. 2 blacks are nutted together, and 1 going from that nut to each both switches.
The below pic has three 14/2 cables. Two blacks are going from the wire nut to the switches, and 2 blacks are being run from the wires to the switches. Then my 14/3 wire is pictured.
Not sure how to run the wires to make this work.
This is what I am thinking. The whites from the new cable get wire nutted in and the red goes on one of the screws in both outlets. Keep that black jumped from the wire nut to the switch, and have the black from the 14/3 go on the other terminal on the switch?

14/2 is a cable. It contains 3 wires if you count ground. I will use those words that way.
On your existing switch, note the black that goes to the other blacks. That is always hot. The other wire, mark it with red tape. That is switched-hot.
Run a /3 cable from this switch to the other switch. Mark the black and white wires with yellow tape on both ends. Those are travelers.
In this box, connect the /3 cable's red wire to the wire you just marked red.
Wire up your 3-way switches as follows.
And we're done.
