Magdalena has arrived!


Magdalena Grace Roberts was born this morning at 8:18am. She weighed in at 3lbs 15oz and measured 18 inches. She is breathing on her own at this point and has even taken to a pacifier. Julie is doing as well as can be expected after the c-section. More updates will be posted as we get them. Thanks again for your continued prayers!

    I continue to pray for you both and Magdalena. Her name was offered in prayer as I fell asleep last night and as I awoke this morning. God has blessed you with such a beautiful daughter! God is with you each and will not leave you.

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.

Hello World!!

Here are my first pictures! Julie is on her way to the room and doing great. As we have more pictures, I will get them up for you to see. Stephen

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
