75 Absent Minded Days

I am going to excuse myself from giving false information because my brain shrank during the pregnancy, or maybe I am just a little crazy! I don't know how I counted wrong! Anyways, today Magdalena is 75 days old, and on Wednesday she will be 11 weeks! Yay!

Since Saturday Noah and I knew that Magdalena was going to need some special help to feel better. Also, we were uncertain if her problem was only a cold or if her heart problem was beginning to show. So we began to take turns staying awake to hold her. Usually I take a good nap and wake up about midnight when Noah goes to bed for the night. Then, on days when he doesn't have class until later I may go back to bed for another nap. However, tomorrow will be the first day that I won't be able to take that second nap, but I am sure that it will be fine. My body is beginning to adjust to the change, and also, nothing like a STRONG cup of coffee to keep you going.

Magdalena has practically stopped coughing in the last few days and her snot has lessened, and maybe this week we can get back on our old routine of sleeping at night. I have really enjoyed being up with her at night. Although she sleeps most of the time, while I am holding her it has given me great time to really read God's word and afterwards a good book, like Harry Potter.

Well, I am off to bed for now. Thanks so much for your continual prayers.

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...
