The day approaches

I have not finished the chapter in our reading for this week. Knowing this day was approaching made me relive her death. I couldn't shake it, and I found so much comfort in the first two readings of our chapter on death, but I really wanted to focus on Friday for this week. I agree so much with Nancy in that I just dread the upcoming day. It's such a bittersweet day because it reminds us of what we were given, but it causes us to miss what was taken away. To keep myself busy I have been baking in honor of my sweet girl.

Cupcakes for the family on Friday
A part of the cake for Saturday, when we have a party to collect toys for the children's hospital

A cake for the NICU nurses who I will be going to visit tomorrow

Cooking sometimes helps to pain into action, and there is some healing in it. I am hoping that it tastes good because Magdalena liked her chocolate cake with white icing!

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...
