First Gifts!!!

In honor of the day that Magdalena came into this world, August 6, 2008, we are celebrating by collecting new, unwrapped gifts for the children's hospital where Magdalena received her care after birth. Children from all over the state go to this hospital from small ailments to cancer treatment. We received by mail the very first gift (really multiple gifts from one person)!! Thank you, Allison, for being SO thoughtful!

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.
