March of Dimes 2010

These are just a few of the pictures of March of Dimes. As you have heard all over the news, Mississippi had some bad storms hit, and it was expected in my area but never came. They cancelled the walk at 6, but after seeing continuous sunshine everyone was called back out there to walk. It was sad not seeing everyone because of the unique situation, but we all had a blast. There will be a party this Thursday for all of the teams.

This year our team worked hard, and together we raised $12, 700 for the March of Dimes! Thanks to everyone who helped us get there!

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...

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.
