Noah and I are trying to be more intentional with our date nights and time spent together. Between school and work time can fly by quickly without having a true conversation, which is not good. We went on amazing date, and no, it was not one of our good cheap dates, but it was very much needed. Walt went to Mimi and Papa's house to be completely spoiled, and we dressed up to partake of a delicious dinner. Look how handsome my man is! This special time together is rare, and I love it! God has given me an amazing husband!
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...
So glad you get those special times! Wanted to let you know I did get the book, and I can't wait to read it! Thanks!
