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...
Congratulattions!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful big boy! I am SO thrilled for you two to have a baby in your arms once again. Do you see her sister in him? That was one of the first things I noticed with our second child (our first son went to heaven- T18. I could see her brother in her...even dispite the trisomy there was defiantely a family resemblance. That was so amazing yet brought back some unsettling memories and even some fear.

Your family is so gracious to us blog readers- first the announcement in the morning (I checked early) and then PICTURES already (I checked again, Just in case...). So unoriginal, but sincerest best wishes to your new family of 4- Magdalena is every bit a part of this big day- she "knew" him first. Enjoy the glow and I hope you're feeling well, Julie.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Congratulations and enjoy this little blessing.

ReplyDeleteBet you and Noah are walking a few feet off the ground...
Thanks so much for keeping us all posted! So very, very excited for you!!! You and Noah make beautiful babies!
Congratulations on the addition of a little baby boy to your lovely family. Walt is beautiful. I know that your little angel, Magdalena, up in heaven, is smiling down on all of you. My two children, Jeremy and Jennine, that were born after one of their big brothers, Justin, went to heaven have always known about him and included him in all their artwork and essays at school when they were young. They always knew, along with their oldest brother, Joshua, that Justin, was their angel up in heaven, looking out for them and smiling down on them. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He is such a handsome little man :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan Brewer
