Perspective

Due to the terms of our lease and the fact that doing laundry at our current house involves going outside and to the basement - which is not conducive when there is a child involved - we are looking into moving at the end of May. Which also means that the baby will be somewhere around 1 - 2 months old...

Today I was talking to my mom about the plan, how I plan on having the majority of the things packed before baby gets here and how we won't set up the crib or the "nursery" until we are moved into the new house I also managed to complain about how bummed I was that we won't be able to welcome  him like a normal family. That we won't be able to set the nursery and get everything organized and perfect the way first time parents always dream about.

She quickly tells me "esto es lo que nos toca vivir (which loosely translated into English means: this is what is in store for us)" and follows it by "Imagine Mary, she didn't even have a roof, let alone a bed for Jesus when he was born".

Point taken.
