"My baby's killing me!"

I now realize that probably wasn't a very good title for this blog. Oh well. I'm keeping it. Lately, Abby's been having trouble with her "baby". The one in her tummy. Yesterday, at random moments she'd say, "Oooo...ow, ow, ow! My tummy hurts!" I was starting to get concerned because I really didn't want her to be sick on our trip. Then last night she said, "Ow! My baby's really hurting me!" And then I realized. I should have made the connection earlier, but a few days ago, Abby went up to Adam and said, "My tummy hurts, Daddy. My baby's killing me!" I've been expressing my discomfort at being pregnant at times and I think she's just imitating me. That or she really has some life-threatening illness that I'm ignoring. But I can honestly say that I've never said that my baby was killing me. 

We leave for the airport in three hours. I THINK we're ready but I also think we'll never be ready. We're so excited! Abby's especially excited to sleep on the big, big airplane. I think she thinks she's getting a bed though. Oh well. At least she's excited to sleep. I'm not taking that away from her.

I think you have a wonderfully sypathetic little girl on your hands. This could be good. Maybe she will take pity on your disdain for dishes in the future, and will always do them for you out of sympathy.

HA ha ha ha ha.

And now you are in the air somewhere. Well, if you run into my in-laws, (they are in the air somewhere, too) say "Hi!"

Or say your prayers. I guess polite greetings aren't too common when planes are meeting each other in mid-air. Uh- have a good flight! Keep us posted!

Going to Europe while pregnant can be problematic. Just don't up chuck on any famous paintings. Make sure you go out into the corridor first. That's what I did because I'm so thoughtful. Have so much fun. I'm so jealous.

I miss you more. I'm feeling pretty fat the last couple of days. I need to hang around a big pregnant lady to make me feel thinner, and I don't even have Europe to take my mind off of it.
