Home Videos - Take 2

This video was taken on December 2, 2008 and it is a great example of how our nights were in trying to get Magdalena to sleep. We would try to hold her until she fell asleep and then lay her down, but, of course, they just wouldn't work. She would always end up as she did in this video, completely exhausted but trying to keep those eyes open anyway. She would sleep in her swing because it was much more comfortable to be sitting up. And as you can see, in the swing is one of our soft blankets that she would snuggle up with on the couch and so we put it in the swing too. She really enjoyed this and it helped to keep her warm during the winter.
The patting would help to calm her, but as you can see here, she was fighting so hard to stay awake after a long day of shopping with Mimi and Mommy.

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...
