Summary

Allison just got back from 14 days away - Super Bowl in San Francisco followed immediately by the Winter Olympics in Milan, all while 30+ weeks pregnant with a toddler in tow. This is her full unfiltered recap: the chaos of traveling internationally while pregnant, the gratitude for these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, getting homesick for the first time ever, hiring a nanny and why she doesn't feel bad about it, sobbing over Italian lasagna during a hard moment, and why she's still in denial that she's having a baby in literal weeks. She also gets into what it's like being back in the NFL world, chronic overpacking as a mom, and how Isaac was such a trooper throughout the entire trip.
