To Make your Day!

Some days pass and I forget to thank God for my sweet Walt, but these pictures are a sweet reminder of God's mercy in my life.  A week (not exaggerating) after I said goodbye to Magdalena, I realized I would be saying hello to her little sibling soon.  I don't know why God chose this path for me, because with my human mind I would not recommend being pregnant so quickly after a loss, but that was God's plan for me.  There was worry, grief, love, and excitement all boiling over with pregnancy hormones.  Now, as I look in his eyes, give him hugs, play airplane, dry his tears, and so much more, I can see God's promises before me.  Walt was an unexpected gift that offered not just Noah and me, but our entire family hope.  God has not left us nor forsaken us.  God doesn't comfort all of us in the same way, but this is the way he has chosen to work in our lives.

This morning Magdalena left this world to be with Jesus. There really isn't too much else I can say but to please pray for Julie and Noah. For now, they do not want any calls, emails or visits. I will you keep you updated on the arrangements.

Hello World!!

Here are my first pictures! Julie is on her way to the room and doing great. As we have more pictures, I will get them up for you to see. Stephen

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
