Valentines Day

Growing up my mom made every holiday, big or small, fun.  We would wake up with a special breakfast and little happis to acknowledge that the day was different.  My oldest sister does a fantastic job at keeping up the tradition.  Whereas, my creativity is definitely lacking.  I decided to really try this year with oatmeal in the shape of a heart and little happis for Walt to know that it was a special day.  Walt was a little hesitant, but it wasn't long before he enjoyed his playdough and Star Wars marshmallow (Daddy got one too!).  To this day, my mom does not consider us adults on holidays, a fact that I am glad of, and so we get happis just like Walt does!

Magdalena Grace Roberts

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...
