I wonder about that too. Some parents seem so serene and competent. I feel like having a baby is so hard. I'm barely making it and I thought I would be good at this! Sometimes I think about swapping babies for a few hours just to see how they would deal. Of course then I would really feel crappy if I couldn't handle their 'easy' baby.

Yeah, I wonder what it would be like if I had a great eater. I worried so much about her food and milk intake the first year

All the time. My daughter was very communicative very early, and that has been really fun. I've often wondered what it would be like if she couldn't communicate her needs. She never throws tantrums, and I think that has a lot to do with it. I know that makes my life way easier and more fun.

@Ree723: @Mrs. Yoyo: Yes, this! Definitely nervous how #2 will turn out. I'm hoping because we are pretty laid back that it's just how our family is, but I guess time will tell.

I'm super happy with our little guy, yes we've had rough patches, but it's been a great ride so far. I figure the first year is sleep deprived for most anyway, so I can't really count that against him.
