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...
Awesome! They did a great job with the story. I loved the pictures they used! :) God bless.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I know I have said it before, but it is truly amazing how this little angel is touching so many....more than many of us can ever hope to touch in our live time. What a blessing! She was blessed to have such caring, wonderful parents.

ReplyDeleteIt's a great article! I cried. Thank you for continuing to allow Magdalena's life to minister. I still talk about her and share her story with so many, and people are just amazed and blessed. As Lori was quoted saying in the article, we'll only know one Magdalena Grace.
