Well, Julie was just doing a few chores around the house and she noticed a little flyer for St. Jude which says that they are collecting pop tabs to raise money for a certain project that St. Jude is working on! If you have been collecting tabs and would like to continue, this is a great opportunity. Just like before, you may feel free to send any that you have collected to Julie and me and we will make sure they get to St. Jude. We are excited to be back in the pop tab collecting business!!!
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...
