As many of you know Liam was born early at 32 weeks and 5 days. We have been blessed beyond belief with his health and thank God everyday for his continued growth and progress. If any of you have been through the heartache of having a premature baby in the NICU, then I know that this cause will hit close to home. We are planning on walking in the March of Dimes "March for Babies 2009" in April and would love your support!! Whether it be finical support to help us reach our team goal of $2,500, or moral support by walking with us on April 25th both are appreciated!! You can visit our team site at www.march for babies.org/amiekirk .

Two Months

Little update on the little one. He was eight weeks old yesterday! Hard to believe. He is doing so well, as you can see he is growing each and everyday. The last time we went to the doctor he was up to 9lbs. and 3oz. and that was on the 17th of December I am betting he is probably close to 11lbs by now. You should see his chunky little legs... so cute you could eat them up!! He is now wearing 0-3 month clothes and filling them out nicely. He still is not sleeping through the night, and I am beginning to believe the parents that say their little ones sleep all night are in some way lying. I joke....I just hope to see that day soon. I am also beginning to believe that you can in fact spoil a baby. I know, I know, I was told that holding him too much would spoil him but did I believe it...nope. Liam thinks that he should be held at all times day and night. I am really trying to do better about putting him down during the day. It is hard, he is so darn cute! I am enjoying so much being a mom and feel so blessed everyday that I get to spend with my precious little boy.
