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.

18 Months!!!

I still can't believe that my little boy is 18 months old.............how did that happen? Anyhow, our 18 month check up went well. Unfortunately, he still weighs 21 pounds 12 ounces.........the exact same amount he weighed at his 15 month check up. No worries though........his pediatrician and PT say he's fine!

Again, his pediatrician was amazed at how well he is doing. She couldn't get over the fact that he is crawling. She said that she had hoped he'd being doing this well (ie..crawling) by the time he was 15 years old (if we were lucky.) Wow.....God is good and you all, along with us, get to witness a true miracle in the works. She also said (in her words)......he looks sickly good!!!!! She did however say that he would probably walk a little wobbly (his PT has said this before also)..........but hey, he'll walk!!!!!!!

He did very well with his shots and for the first time ever, he didn't cry!!!!!! He is one tough cookie (OK.......that totally sounded like my mom!) Anyhow, we don't have to go back for another check up for 6 months........it'll be his 2 year check up. Can you believe it..........in 6 months I'll have a 2 year old!!!!!! Bring on the terrible 2's!

His canine tooth has finally poked through and there's nothing better than to sink your sore little teeth into an ice cold Red Bull:):):)


John is now a crawling machine. He's EVERYWHERE and as tired as I am at the end of the day.............I LOVE IT!!! He loves to crawl with something in his hand.....a car, the phone, a blanket, and today..........pages of Mommy's magazine! Good thing I have already read it!
