1) Is being a mom anything like what you expected it would be?
No. Alan needs more time than I expected, and my heart has grown several sizes as he gets bigger :)
2) Do you think you'll have more children? Why or why not?
I'd like to as I don't want Alan an only child and would like a little girl also. But finances and biology (I'm 41 now) may dictate the choice. Fortunately I didn't require intervention to conceive Alan, but that could have been just a lucky thing.
3) If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Either the Boston area , Pennsylvannia Dutch Country or Toronto. I liked Massachusetts and New Hampshire when I lived there (1980-1990), the Dutch country is just very safe (no one bother the Amish) and Toronto is just a clean city.
4) What is the one quality you admire most in your husband?
His loyal friendships with many people which has formed our "gang" or second family.
5) If you had a chance to live your life all over again, what one decision would you change?
Probably have visited my mom in the hospital before she died. We'd been estranged over my marriage to my ex, but didn't realize she was that ill based on the hospital information I got. I was going to go the next day but didn't get a chance. It's hard to believe she's been gone 10 years in November and my dad one year this past March. Both would have loved Alan (my dad did get to see me marry Mark and know I was pregnant with Alan, but only guessed he was a boy, before we knew.)
