fifteen. sixteen.

fifteen: grateful for Jack's teacher. He is excited to go to school and comes home each day with a new art project to add to the fridge. Last month the learned all about the ocean-Jack's favorite topic. Ms. K is so great and is preparing Jack for Kindergarten. He is learning to read and is starting to do some math. He has some great friends at school and it is so fun to see him with them. (growing up too quickly). grateful for teachers and the time, patience, and love they show my little man.

sixteen: grateful for baby girl #2. I don't enjoy pregnancy--heartburn, swelling, waddling, nausea--but I am truly grateful for this new life who will join our family in about 10 weeks. I had my 2nd ultrasound yesterday to follow up on my placenta previa. It has resolved itself and baby girl looks strong and healthy. She is growing and developing just as she should and loves to have a dance party when I am trying to go to bed. We still cannot decide on a name, but Jack has moved on from Pickles to Kate (I guess it's easier to remember one name for his sisters:). I am grateful to be a mom for a 3rd time.

I'm not sure I hate anything more than being pregnant, but I'm also not sure I love anything more than a brand new baby. So glad the placenta previa is resolved!
