There is a story in my family that when my mom was pretty far along into labor with my sister my dad said, "Think of the boys in Vietnam, Kath." Obviously not exactly what you want to hear at that time, but I think that shows where I get my tendancy for thinking of someone in a worse situation.
When I have a coughing fit I think of all the people with cystic fibrosis. At least I know there is an end in sight, whereas they have to live with that coughing for life.
It is 2:34am and I woke up shivering, even though our apartment is perfectly warm. My first thought as I was shaking in bed was, "Think of all the men that died in the Battle of the Bulge. They were outside in sub-zero conditions fighting. Yeah, you are shivering, but you are under a warm blanket."
I tell all of this to Kyle and he just shakes his head. Poor thing, but at least he doesn't have a wife that complains alot!

Our favorite comment from one of the real band of brothers in the commentary before and after each episode- "at least I'm not in a fox hole in Bastogne." Hope your little one is growing well in the comfort of your warm belly. Go to as many restaurants right now as you can! We're thinking of y'all and dearly miss Christmas in Europe!
Love, Anna and Hal
