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

BD Update!

We are still extremely excited about the blenderized diet. It has been such a blessing for all of us and because of it....John is growing physically (I hope) and developmentally.

John gets 4 bolus's per day of blended food.......about 200ml each. He is sleeping through the night (and boy does it feel GREAT for us too) and as of a few days ago.....naps are back in the picture!

He only vomits when he cries.......which he just started doing every time we put him down for a nap or at bedtime:( However, the vomit is MUCH less than before.

Our little man is sitting like a champ! His balance is getting a lot better.........proof that his cerebellum is making connections. He is still unable to sit on his bottom but we know that in time, he will be able to do that too.



And, John and I went to our first Stroller Strides class yesterday. We both LOVED it however, Mommy is walking very slow today after ALL those lunges:)

We are also planning our first rode trip/vacation at the end of the month. We are sooooooooo excited to spend the weekend with one of my very best friends (Katie) and her family.......and we can't wait to take John to the beach! California, here we come!!!!
