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...
I have THREE sitting on my counter for you!
ReplyDeleteI been saving them for you too! We have a HUGE bin at work for adopt a family. (we save the cans for Christmas time) A co-worker and I are going to try and get the tabs off of them to donate to you or donate locally. I had no idea until I read here how great this is. A SIMPLE thing to do. We are a family that recycles so this excites me even more! :) Many blessings.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you guys at and the cardiologist appointment tomorrow, hope you get great news! Love,
