Now just a few questions:

1) If you are using a pacifier is it the kind they gave your child at the hopsitol, and would they take any other pacifier?
Yes, it is the kind given at the hospital. I had bought several kinds prior to having the baby, but once he had gotten used to the gerber nuk he'd been given at the hospital I bought new ones.

2) When did your child first sleep through the night? (if not sleeping through the night how old is the child now?) At two months.

3) As a mom what is the hardest thing you have had to deal with?
My son had to have major surgery about 3 weeks ago on his skull. Dealing with this by far outweighed all the things I previously had thought were hard.

4) If you could have changed one thing what would it have been?
I would have put a lot more money aside into a savings account so that the time I spent out of work on FMLA time (unpaid leave) would have been easier. Money was tight for a while and it would have been nice to have had one less thing to worry about.

Anything else you would like to add would be great. This is a debate.

Being a parent is the most wonderful, most rewarding experience of my life, but I strongly believe that had it happened 4 or 5 years ago it would have been so much harder. I am very glad we waited a while until we were more stable. You'll never have enough money, but at least we were more stable and understood the world a little better than if we'd jumped into parenthood earlier. (my husband and I are now 28 and have been together since 18)
