Quiz by Randi Schmelzer

1. One of the biggest challenges for any new mom? Sheer exhaustion. How well do you function on very little sleep?

I've always run on not-enough sleep, coffee and Diet Coke. (Fortunately, the American Academy of Pediatrics approves moderate caffeine use for breastfeeding mothers!)
It's not the most pleasant feeling, but I manage. And I should be able to catch a few extra hours on the weekends, when my husband's home to help with the baby.
One word: Zombie. But thanks to all this sleep deprivation, my baby and I make perfect conversation partners!
Just thinking about not getting enough sleep makes me want to crawl back into bed.

2. Whether it's playing peek-a-boo or designing a PowerPoint presentation, for working moms, expectations and demands are sky-high, and setting priorities is key. Along with making sure your new little one is comfortable and safe, what's tops on your priorities list?

Nothing is more important than my family.
I'm not sure anymore. It feels as if everything's happening so fast!
My happiness. No matter what I do, I want to feel good - and feel confident about the decisions I make.
My career. I worked hard to get where I was before I got pregnant!
