Vanessa and Ashley, it's good to see your updates. Vanessa, glad for your good medical care and prayers for your little girl staying put.

I hesitated to share my update the past couple weeks in spite of checking posts here. I've been wanting to.

Eve is 14 months old, and she is a joyful handful. She's running all over and starting to say words. Her sleep is still not great (still wakes up in the night at least once). I love watching her grow and explore the world.

The surprising news is that I'm pregnant again, 17 weeks, due end of January. I'm still processing, still adjusting. I'm anxious about how it will impact Eve, my marriage, and my job to have two under two. I also am excited for the gift of another little person to get to know and the hope that he or she will be a good companion for Eve.

I hope it isn't off putting to share this mix of emotions.

Thinking of you all.

Hows everyone doing
