Getting Bigger

Baby Walt is such a blessing to us, but the bigger I get the more I complain. I am just ready to have him in my arms to snuggle with him. I went to the doctor this past Tuesday, and we got a good heartbeat from him. He is growing big! My C-Section is set for Monday, September 28th, so we have six weeks left from this upcoming Monday. (I think that it feels farther away than it actually is.) He could come sooner and I am ready for this, but he seems a little stubborn and too comfortable inside to do this. Getting back to work I think is the toughest because there are so many things to do, but my body just doesn't want to do them! The worst is when I reach for something before realizing that my belly is in the way! I just have to laugh! This weekend came at the perfect timing to give me a little bit of rest.
This morning was fabulous because Noah and I slept in before getting up and just sipping on coffee while eating some pumpkin bread. It has been such a relaxing day that I have enjoyed so much. Noah did go to work, but I really enjoy my time by myself here. I am still working on my scrapbook, and realizing that it is going to be a long term project which is going to take awhile.

Yesterday we celebrated our anniversary, and I think that it was our most fun yet! We got home from work, and together we cooked a simple yet delicous meal. Then, while in comfy clothes we ate, laughed, and talked. Following dinner we watched Bolt, which Noah brought home the day before as a surprise! He knows me too well! I love happy disney movies, and I think that he would admit it too that he has a few favorites out there. We had so much fun I stayed up until around ten o'clock, which is really late for me! It is so easy to get wrapped up in all the things "to do" that we forget to spend this special time together. All of our "to do" list is necessary and good, but I need to slow down more just to enjoy my sweet husband.

  3. Congrats on your anniversary and your big uncomfortable belly. :)
    That last month always seems to take forever but in hindsight it will have seemed to fly by...and Walt will be off to Kindergarten :) Enjoy each other and your newest little prince. I'm so happy for you guys.

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
