How do you and your husband find time for yourselves as a couple?

It's an effort! Dave and I include Ben in as much stuff as we can, but our relationship is important so we have to strike the right balance. So we definitely go on dates: We go to movies together, we go to events together. We just make the effort.

Since you're such a busy working mom, was there a lot to consider before deciding to have another child?
Absolutely. You don't want to walk into a decision like that willy-nilly It's a big choice. But we always wanted a sibling for our son, because that's what we know: I have two brothers, my husband has a sister. Yes, we're very busy, but we're always going to be busy, so we're always going to have an excuse. Still, we felt like it was the right time for us to give it a shot and it worked out. We're so excited.

What do you do to find me-time?
Alison: I love to read. So last Christmas, to treat myself, I bought the Amazon Kindle [wireless reading device]. It's the best thing I ever did. I take it with me everywhere -- it's in my purse right now. I can read books, newspapers, magazines. I have all my maternity books on there. It's the best invention ever. I love it.
