This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

My Baby's Back



John is finally completely back to himself as of today. All pain meds are out of his system and he's feeling good. He even had a little bit of tummy time today and his button didn't seem to bother him. He's a champ!

By the way, he now weighs in at 14lbs 6oz. Pretty darn good considering he didn't eat for 24 hours after surgery and he still isn't up to full feeds.

I forgot to mention a conversation that took place between me and a nurse prior to surgery.......a total Jill moment.

Nurse: We are going to take John back and weigh him before surgery.
Jill: I just bought a scale and weighed him at home this morning.
Nurse: Oh, how much was it?
Jill: $80.00
Nurse: No, I meant how much did he weigh.
Jill: Oh, right.
