We have three kids and they are each 2 years apart. I was pregnant with my second when my first was 16 mos and then with my third when my second was 14 mos. And so when my third reached that age I was already aching to be pregnant. It's hard to believe, but it's actually not easy for us to get pregnant and each time we needed fertility treatments. It just so happened that with my last baby so much was happening in our lives it just wasn't the right time to get pregnant.

Now my third…

Today was my daughters second day of preschool. Her first day (last week) went well overall-- a few tears at drop off, but happy when I picked her up-- she told me about all of the fun things she did. Last night she told me she didn't want to go to school and cried. I could tell it was on her mind quite a bit. This morning she woke up and again said she didn't want to go to school. At drop off, she clung to me and cried. Your supposed to make drop off short and sweet, tell them you love them…
