Trade-Offs

A current picture and a humorous list!

If only you'd known you were going to trade...
• Monthly PMS for nine months of weeping
• Lacy panties for cotton tents
• Zinfandel for Ovaltine
• Birth control for laxatives
• Going to the gym for getting up to pee
• Your waist for a hot-air balloon
• Kickboxing for kick counts
• Your innie for an outie — a way-outie
• Sleeping for groaning
• Freedom for the most intense love you've ever known

You're still glowing and looking really good despite all the 'trade-offs' Remember you still get a better sleep now, than after having the wee one. Love, Mom

Allison,

I know I don't comment very often, but I have really enjoyed reading about your life in Germany. And I love all the baby information you have on your blog! It's just amazing to think that you have a tiny human being growing inside of you.

On a very different topic, I am trying to move to Madrid and am interested in visiting a church there before making the move permanent. Do you have any suggestions about contacting a church or do you have any connections you might be willing to share? Anything would be great.

I am really excited for you and Grady. It looks like you have a ton of support from your families and that you are really enjoying life together. And I am confident that you will be fantastic parents!
