The Importance of Being Earnest

One of my first downloads onto my Kindle was the play The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.  After looking at many Kindle covers, Noah and I decided that we liked best the one designed after this play.  I knew that I could not pose as someone who has read it when the truth is that I had never heard of it prior despite the fact that there is a movie based on the play starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth.  I paid 89 cents, but it was definitely worth more.  After laughing throughout the reading, I watched a few of the movie trailers where I laughed even more.  It is a light-hearted play about two men making up friends so that they will have an excuse to go to a different area where they are able to have fun with their made-up names.  However, it comes to haunt them when they find true love using their false name, Earnest, and their loves say that they knew they would always love someone by that name.  I definitely recommend this quick read.  Although I have never seen the movie, it would be interesting to watch Reese Witherspoon attempt a British accent while Colin Firth is sure to give an amazing performance.

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...
