Praying for Grace

Grace Elizabeth lacks just a few weeks from meeting her parents face to face. In October, at 22 weeks pregnant, Grace was diagnosed with Occipital Encephalocele. Please pray for the doctors as they do special procedures, and for Grace's family as they care for Grace and make decisions. Also, pray for Grace's momma healing because she will undergo a C-section. To read more about the special baby, their blog address is http://giftsfromgrace.blogspot.com/ .

    I am glad you posted this! I was going to email you and let you know about Karen and baby Grace. Karen and I were friends in junior high. I thought it may be good for her to talk to someone who's walked a simliar road with not knowing what to expect when your baby is born.

    I am continuing o pray for them and you!

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...
