Hey all! So, here is what some of you have been waiting for...and for others...well you may have no idea what was coming.
Andy and I are blessed to announce that we will be bringing home a bundle of joy this October! While this has been unexpected, we are thrilled and very excited!
It is a whole new ball park of challenges, fears, anxieties, and unknowns....but also many joys, excitements, and dreams...we are both growing and learning together everyday to make sure this baby has the best parents, home, family, life, and...name ( haha which is an interesting debate already ) haha!
I am currently 8.5 weeks along which means we can expect to have Baby Anderson around October 6th. Andy is hoping I can hold out until October 10th (his birthday)....after all...the baby did come along after my birthday weekend ;)
Our first prenatal visit went GREAT! at 7 weeks we got a great audio and visual of the baby's strong heartbeat via ultrasound....and I got a bunch of tears as a result!
We are both happy and healthy...I'm finally pulling through a long week of nausea and headaches...and Andy is pumped that I'm less miserable and starting to cheer up a bit!
I hope this news excites you all as it does us...we are thrilled and can't wait to share this with all of our loved ones over the next 7 or so months! Prayers, love, and support are always welcomed!
Love,
Allison
Crazy. Beautiful. Life.

Madrid, Dublin, and end of Rome
Well, I know it's been forever but internet has been so inconsistent :( Anyways... I'm going to just give short summaries of the rest at this point..ok? ok!
MArdrid,
Went to an AWESOME evening at the Joy Eslave club in Madrid, where the US Embassy Interns and myself partied it up until 6:30 am with the US marines in VIP! It was amazing! Cirque dei Solei performed that night at Joy on stage, 2 feet from my head...it was incredible
The next morning, or should I say afternoon, again the shower gods cast their evil spells on me and Zubin's apartment was struck with freezing cold water...for 2 of the 3 days I was there. Sooo that was a shock after a very long night.
Saturday we strolled through Madrid...caught some art exhibits...for FREE and the Prado...and then met up with the guys for a night of jamming at El Sol ( i think....may have to check). It was an amazing local joint with just 2 small rooms where people sat while guys took turns jamming Flamenco music, people would just start singing and clapping,...it was amazing!
Sunday Zubin and I enjoyed a beautiful day, saw the palace, and enjoyed outside seating at the park. Thai dinner and Churros with chocolate were a great end of the day!
Dublin,
WAS INCREDIBLE! ENGLISH!!!!!!!! Leanne and I were in heaven with the ease of travel and communication in our own language. Althought I apparently couldn't understand it still because it took the guy at Subway 3 times for me to understand he was asking me if I wanted it with "cheese and toasted"...wow I felt ridiculous.
Starbucks, Mexican food, and English made for an amazing weekend...ohhh and that black stuff...GUINNESS!!!!!!!
So good...soooooo good! The brewery at St. James Gate...which his a 10,000 year lease btw......was very cool and modern....360 degree bar atop Dublin...too bad it was a bit cloudy.
Pretty much in Dublin... I drank Guinness...drank Irish Whiskey....relaxed....enjoyed English.....and ate non-italian food and drank drip coffee! I loved Ireland..the people were SOO nice!
Nowwww I'm in London, which most of you already know has been quite stressful, but i'm enjoying it and things are calming down now. Just trying to prepare myself for my research in Germny. I am sad to have left Italy...the family was truely amazing and the kids were great. I learned a lot about myself and life that I will share hopefully tomorrow night. Sorry the updates are soooooooooooo infrequent I promise to get better. As for tonight I was on a 12 hour tour of England today.. and I require sleep.....I love and miss you all!
