I'm a working Mum, wishing I could stay at home more. I do work full time (37 hours), but am thankful to only have to work four days per week. I get to spend three days home with my peanut!

2. Would you have it any other way?

I actually really like to have a job and be working, I think if I were to stay at home I would become a hermit! Working gets me out of the house, socializing, and having a little separation from Liana that will help with any separation anxiety. I am torn though, because I do wish I could spend more time with her.

3. Do you co-sleep?

I did for the first two months of Liana's life. I loved it actually. I started putting her down in her cuddle cove and eventually her bassinet only because I didn't want to be co-sleeping when I started working again. It worked out really well and by the time I went back to work (I only had 9 weeks of maternity leave) Liana was already sleeping through the night.

4. What is your one must-have item for your baby?

My 'must-have' item has changed a few times over the past seven months. For the first four months I would have definitely said our carrier, specifically the Moby wrap. Then I think it changed to the toys that first taught her to play independently, like her play gym and then exersaucer. Overall though, no matter what her age, the one must-have item for every Mum should be a camera to capture those moments that will fly by all too quickly.

5. How many kids do you plan on having?

I definitely want two. A third will be a possibility when we get to that point, but two is what I am planning for. I've also said that the only way I'd have four is if the third pregnancy turned out to be twins!

6. Date nights? How often do you have them? 

Not too often, I'm afraid. Ashton and I work pretty opposite schedules (he works M-F 8:30a-4:30p and I work varying times from 7:30a-9:30p on two weekdays and both Sat/Sun) and the only time we are guaranteed to see each other is after 6pm on the three weekdays that I do not work. Or when we take time off for holidays, at which point we spend three hours driving to New Hampshire to see my family. I think a nice date night would be a lovely Christmas gift this year! *Hint hint, Ashton*

7. Your child's favourite show?

Liana used to love watching Top Gear with Daddy, but I sort of stepped in and said she shouldn't be watching TV. I'm not sure how much TV she watches when she spends days with Ashton, but when I am home with her the TV isn't really on that often. I've also noticed that she isn't as interested in it anymore.

8. Name one thing you bought before you had the baby and never ended up using?

Pacifiers. At first I was boycotting them and wouldn't even offer her one until she was three weeks old. By that point, she was never interested even when we tried several times to get her to take one. Fine by us though since she isn't really a whiny baby and tends to soothe herself easily without one.

9. Your child's favourite food?

Besides formula? Probably her veggie rice rusks. She likes food she can hold onto better than purees.

10. How many cars does your family have?

12. Dream holiday with your kids? 

13. Dream holiday without your kids?

In the beginning, Liana would always leak in Huggies, but she has been okay for the past few months in them. I think I still prefer Pampers though. I'm currently love the cruisers!

19. Have you always wanted kids?

Yep.
