Carl's Junior



Three of my students, Guimel, Lilia, and David, visited the states during the first week of November. We made a deal that if they brought me back some of my favorite crackers and cookies (wheat thins and reduced fat oatmeal pies), I would take them to eat at Carl’s Junior, which is the same as a Hardees. Therefore, we planned a day, and Bryon drove us to eat there! We all had a great time!
The other "gringa" in the picture is my friend, Loryn, who came to spend her Thanksgiving holiday with me!

Making the Decision to Not Make the Decision

I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
