Sacrifices

Beth said something funny to me the other day. I was talking about not being able to surf and she asked about going on roller coasters. I told her I couldn't do that either. What about grandma's spa? She asked. Nope, no spa either. Well, she told me, you're missing out on everything fun! Ha, isn't that true!

I would have loved to have a glass of wine the other day after I got my pedicure and my hair cut...and I'd love to eat a turkey sandwich without having to nuke the heck out of the turkey! But, in the grand scheme of life, the small sacrifices I'm making to have a healthy pregnancy.

Last night Grant made a sacrifice too! He sold his beloved mustang (and my 5 year old truck) to buy a nice, big, safe truck that will fit a baby seat and pull around his dirt bike trailer. I know that deep down he's pretty bummed to part with his "dream car." I'm definitely relieved! It was pointless to have 3 cars, one of which sat in the garage most of the time. However, to him, this car represented freedom, masculinity, and all that weird man crap. So, I'm very proud of him for making the big sacrifice!

It's funny when you realize that our parents parent's eat everything in sight, drank, smoke, drove without seatbelts, and still managed to have healthy babies, and you can't even enjoy a turkey sandwich??! Oh the sacrifices we must make!
But you're seriously the cutest of the pregos. You heard it here first. :)
