12 Week Appointment

Today we had a great doctors appointment! The baby has a strong heartbeat! We were nervous, but now we feel such relief. Between 17 and 20 weeks, at the same time we find out the sex, we will go see Dr. P, the high-risk doctor. He will look to see if the baby has some of the same marks that could be associated with a chromosonal disorder.

  12. Did you see Dr. Perry during your last pregnancy? He was my OB and delivered my first 3 children.....before he was in private practice doing the high risk maternal/fetal medicine. If you haven't already met him, he is so kind! You will love him and his gentle bedside manner.

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...
