New Things

Lots of new things are happening. First, Walt traveled on an airplane for the very first time. It was our first time to see where Kiki and Ry live. And now I am preparing for my new job tomorrow. We are all excited about it, but I will definitely miss my sweet little man! This week is already difficult as we remember our last days with Magdalena. What we were doing with her and not knowing what was coming. I want to remember her this week in a way that she would be proud of her mommy, but it is hard when life continues and she is not there. Please pray for our family as we start a year that exists without her. She continues to have so much of my heart.
First Corinthians 4:17-18
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

    look at your hair! So beautiful!!!
    I came to visit today....been thinking about the families that have touched my life because their sweet babies had Trisomy 18 a lot lately because a very good friend just found out her baby has Trisomy 13. She is 16 weeks along and this is her first pregnancy.
    I am hoping I can be there for her in any way possible and so thankful for what I have learned and felt and be led because of Magdalena. She has moved so many and her memory lives on and on and on.

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...
