A Little Update

I feel it is time for a little update to keep people posted on what God is doing in our lives. Julie is much better at this, but I will give it a shot and let Julie fill in the blanks.
Yesterday we went to the doctor for our weekly checkup, and we got a few more answers to some of our questions. As of now, Magdalena is laying across with her booty down. We are hoping some time in the next few weeks that she moves into a head down position that is the best for delivery. Because she is small (3.2 lbs., I think) and there is still plenty of fluid, there is a higher probability that she will still be able to turn. If she is able to turn, we will plan to induce on the Tuesday the 5th or Wednesday the 6th of August. If she doesn't turn, we will plan to have a C-section at that time, although we would certainly prefer to avoid that if possible for a variety of reasons.
While we are nervous about many things that are still unknown, we are certain that our God is our Father and nothing is unknown to Him. We know that no matter what God brings our way, His mercies are new every morning and His grace will be there for us every step. He loves us and cares about us even more than we do. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

Magdalena Grace Roberts

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

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
