Happy Birthday to my Sweet Magdalena

"Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy?"
-Laura Story

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. - Psalm 139: 13-14

    She truly had and has a beautiful life. My heart is heavy today remembering that she is not here, but also joyful in knowing that she is with her Jesus...

    Oh, and I really wish I had started the Book of Hope with you - I really need it now, and have a copy, but hate starting so many weeks late and always feeling like I can't catch up. When I was pregnant with Mallorie (and already had been told the predictions), I found a book at a mark-down section of a grocery store, by Anne Lotz. I skimmed through it and immediately read about Anne's friends, a couple who had a baby who was discovered to have a terminal diagnosis ... and how they lost her, and later found her pregnant again .... I bought the book, based on just that brief skimming, and couldn't believe how the story moved me. I put the book away, and then later, when Kenzie (Maddox's mom) wrote about the One Year Book of Hope, I decided to get it, but never got around to it. Fast forward to after losing Mallorie - I had to go the very next week on a business trip, and on the way home we stopped in a bookstore and bought the book. When I opened the book, I realized that Hope's mom was the same mom who was Anne's friend!

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.

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...
