86 Baby Days

Some days are hard for Noah and me because we don't know when Magdalena's crying is because of "normal" baby issues or something related to T18. And for some things I need more than just my mom's advice because of Magdalena's special conditions. She has begun a fussy stage where she cries and there is no reason (that we know of) for it. She loves to snuggle, so we can normally calm her in that way, or her candy (Mylacon drops) always makes her mouth move into the smacking position instead of the screaming one.
Some wonderful news is that Magdalena is sort of getting back on her sleeping schedule again. She is resting during the night, which means that Noah and I are able to sleep in the bed throughout the night! This an incredible thing!


Here is Magdalena in a winter hat that her cousin Emma is letting her borrow!


Magdalena and her mommy
I realized that I had spent more time behind the camera than in the pictures.

This picture was not planned! Mimi and Papa were taking care of Magdalena and her cousin, Landon, at the same time!

Magdalena enjoys eating from the bottle as much as she can!

Look what daddy found in his spot when going to bed! She is thinking "I am not moving...find somewhere else to sleep!"

    That last picture is just adorable. I have just started to read through Magdalena's story, and already I am touched to the core.

    She is such a beautiful little girl.

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...
