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.

2 Months Old

I can't believe my little girl is already 2 months old.

She did great at her 2 month check up....cried for a second when she got her 3 shots but stopped the second they were done. She is brave just like her big brother.

So, at 2 months of age, Hope weighs 9 pounds 10 ounces (25%) and is 21 inches long (10%.) The Dr. is very pleased with her growth and has given us the okay to let her sleep more at night....so far so good!


My pretty little girl at the doctors office.

I love how Daddy ALWAYS puts her in a dress!!!

My big guy wearing Daddy's hat....and looking super cool!!!

This kid cracks me up. Yes, those are the caps to his markers....can't wait till Thanksgiving when we teach him how to do that with the olives:)

Whatever you are feeding Hope it's certainly agreeing with her! Life only gets better and better at the Birtch household. Hope certainly looks like a very easy baby(hope that's so, Mom)
