Concert Vacation

First, don't forget that the GIVEAWAY winner will be announced this Thursday! Look HEREfor more information to put your name into win!!


Well, I couldn't wait to share some pics with you guys about my recent vacation. It is hard for me to say the word too because I can't believe that my reason for going was to play with friends! On the Thursday of my set back a friend sent me a text. God's timing is perfect because it was just what I needed! Stephen Curtis Chapman and his family were going on tour, and his wife, author of Choosing to See, would be speaking in Houston. Noah thought that it would be an amazing time with a friend and to hear about all of the work that the Chapmans are doing, so after we worked out the details, I packed my bags and left. This was the longest drive that I had ever made alone, but with the help of audio books, it was so enjoyable!

The concert was more than amazing, and so is the work that God is doing through the loss of their daughter Maria. They have begun SHOW HOPE, and all I can say is check out the website. It will leave you breathless and wondering how you can get involved, especially if you have or love a special needs child. But what is even more special is that they help families to overcome the financial barrier of adoption! Check out the website!!

The following day Kim, my Texas friend, and I went to Greek fest. I love to eat Greek food, and we enjoyed ourselves to trying everything there! Yummm.... I could eat some more right now!





And, as always with Kim, we went shopping for incredible deals on awesome products! I had a Macy's gift card from the March of Dimes, which I spent on a bread maker! I can't wait to begin! And my last night there we went to Block 7 where I ate Buffalo. Again, SOOO tasty! Kim definitely kept me fed while I was there. Time went by quickly, and it was sad to leave, but I was ready to snuggle with my little man again!

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...
