1. My husband, who is one of the most selfless and intelligent people I know. I can't imagine what my life would be like without him.
2. My sweet baby Ada, who is still teaching me things even though she is gone. I think about her and miss her every day. Don't ever be afraid to mention her name to me.
3. My family, who loves me and cares about me even when I get a little crazy. I am especially thankful for my niece and nephew (ages 2 1/2 and 8 months), because they bring so much joy, laughter, and hope to our family.
4. My friends, whether they are old friends far away, new friends here in Florida, or online "stillborn mama" friends that I have met since losing Ada. I am appreciative to all of these friends for listening to me, sending me thoughtful cards or emails, and for trying to understand what I have been through this last year.
5. My job, which allows me to be creative and to work with some of the greatest 12 and 13-year-olds you will ever find. They challenge me to be a better teacher and, of course, they always make me laugh.
6. My house, for always being a place to come home to. After moving so many times in my life I am grateful to have a beautiful home that I will (hopefully) never have to move away from.
7. Our new tiny little baby on the way!!! We got the best news ever early this Thanksgiving morning. I believe the due date will be August 4, 2009!
After waiting so long to tell everybody the big news last time, we decided to go ahead and break the news immediately this time. The only thing I ask is that, if you work with me, please don't spread the news at school. I am going to wait a few months before telling the administration and my students.

Oh Beth-I am soooo happy for both of you. I will add you in my prayers each day for health of this new one and yourself. Take care have a happy Thanksgiving!
I had a great afternoon with you guys! I'm so happy to know that the Lord has seen fit to bless you with another child. Enjoy this pregnancy, and don't be anxious--He loves you and desires good for your lives. I'm glad to share this joy with you. =)
Love,

Our anniversary is August 5th. So maybe you can name the baby after us if he/she comes that day. I think Callie or Brimel sounds cute.
