Held her Today

I was sad that I did not get to go to the hospital yesterday to see sweet Layne, but that face today made up for it! I didn't even think that I was going to get to see her! Walt and I went to take her some clean clothes. I didn't want Walt to go inside because he is definitely a germ carrier, but Hamp was SOOO nice to sit with him so that I could visit sweet baby Layne. Walt is going through his "needy" stage, so he did get a little fussy out there. That was the only way I could have stopped holding Layne! She is so snuggly and sweet! I didn't have my camera with me, so you will just have to take my word for it!

Please pray for Hamp and Kristina as they are spending all day at the hospital caring for Layne and learning her special needs. They are going to have THE BEST hospice nurse EVER when they go home....can you take a little guess who it is?? Magdalena's nurse, Rosa, will now be Layne's nurse! Noah and I love sweet Rosa, so we are so excited that the Gastons get to be blessed through her work also!

Layne is still blessing our world right now as she snuggles with everyone. Her body did not fully digest her food fully twice in the evening, but it returned to doing it properly in the morning. Pray that her food gets fully digested! Also, pray for Layne's big brother and sister. I haven't been sure exactly how to pray for them because this time can be so confusing for kids! So I will pray that God will watch over them and their little hearts and that He will use their little sister's special life to bring them into his arms.

    This made me vividly remember coming to see y'all in the hospital and how Noah took Addie down to the lobby to get "white ice cream" so I could go and see Magdalena. I am so glad you got to hold this sweet and special baby!

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...
