I am sure that all of our friends with kids hate us right about now.

Not only do we have a child that sleeps through the night (and has since at least 3mos of age), and a generally (by generally I mean overwhelmingly more than not) happy baby, but on our daughter’s first ear infection, she was upset for about a day.  And even during those twety-four hours she mostly slept.

Our experience with this child is enough to make us not want to have another.  I think on a subconscious level we would always (and I think every parent with more than one kid does) compare the one to the other.  And is it stands, I think if we had another baby, he or she would have a very hard time living up to the bar that our first has set so very high.

I will admit that the first 3 weeks were hell.  Feedings, diaper changes, zero sleep, there were some rough times, but since then there have only been a small handful of really hard challenges that she has given us.

We have truly been blessed with such a wonderful child.  Even though we know that, we are determined to not screw this up:-)
