6. What’s your favorite thing about being mom?

waking up and realizing my kids are still sleeping (that’s happened maybe 2 times)

7. What’s your least favorite thing?

I hate cutting finger and toe nails. I’ll wipe a dirty tushy, clean up refluxy throw up, etc. all day, but I hate to cut nails.

8. Do you want more kids?

I would have, but our 2nd was SO HARD for the first 6 months, that I don’t think I have it in me to have a 3rd. Plus, I’m almost 37 so it’d have to be soon and I’d be totally terrified have having 3 under 5.

My older son, but we drove. Kids have not been on a plane, except in utero.

2 boys — trust me, I’ve lost count.

11. How many times have you been barfed on?

1000? Honestly, my first son threw up at least once if not twice every day for 9 months and every other day the last 3 months, so probably 350 for him. My 2nd son throw up every day for 6 months and now it’s like 2x per week so let’s say 200 for him — total 550.
