Parents tell us...

"Those first few months were really hard. I did not get enough sleep and had to make important decisions about my child's future. I second-guessed and worried."

"Sometimes my friend and I just stuck the girls in their strollers and walked, talked, and worried. Then we would take them out and remember to just play with them."

"Looking back to the early years, I was the most important person in my child's life. It was both a joy, but hard at the same time."
