Written in the Sand

Parents who have lost a child have a connection, no matter their differences. God blessed me with a sweet mommy who shared this ministry out of Australia for families who have lost a child. The couple writes the child's name in the sand and records it with a beautiful Australian sunset. The waiting list opens for short periods of time, but thanks to my sweet friend, we were able to get on the list. Below is the link for you to see Magdalena's sweet name on the waiting list and watch as it rises to the top to have the project completed in memory of her.

    My mother-in-law did this for us when our son died. We were lucky enough to be one of the last names taken for that waiting period and had a photo with in days. It is very special to us. http://namesinthesand.blogspot.com/2010/07/noah-patrick-wrigley.html

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...
