Learning to Fly

Last Saturday we took Walt to a local event where cocoons were given it away with instructions on caring/releasing the butterfly.  And, so, we have waited patiently for our cocoon to darken to let us know it is almost time. Then, today our caterpillar officially became a butterfly.  It was such a beautiful process, and amazing to see God's hand in it all.  Noah, Walt, and I enjoyed watching the butterfly learn its surroundings and take a few test flights before flying away.

    My son's preschool teacher does this every year with the children. This year, I think they had 7 or 8 cocoons, and only one butterfly didn't make it (Andrew said something about it being upside down and couldn't get out and dry out properly). It's a beautiful thing to see!

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...
