I know what you mean. we always expect ours to be somewhat 'different'. But they always bring us back to reality. i suppose he got the good part from you.

so any tips? anything that seemed like a big deal while u were going thru it but years later u realize that it wasn't such a big deal and u shouldnt have worried so much?
on the flip side anything u should have worried about more?
