Corban helping daddy put his swing together
He loves it!Chris and I finally slowed down enough to watch The Happiest Baby on the Block and decided to get Corban a swing. Of course we picked out the one with orange on it. We brought it home that night, put it together and Corban slept in it every night for about 2 weeks. We found the five S's to be very helpful in soothing him if he gets upset. What we once thought was gas problems, really was us just not doing a good job of helping his transition into the real world.
Corban looks just like his daddy
I can't believe how much they look alike. The picture on the right side is Chris' baby picture.I wish I knew how to turn a picture before uploading it. sorry!

His outfit is huge! And we thought it was so little when we ordered it.
His was all snug in the car seat. Notice that Chris still has him swaddled!
Yep, the nurse unswaddled him and fastened him in correctly. Corban was not happy about that

One last picture before the c-seciton
He's here!Although I wasn't due until 11/10, Corban was ready to come out and play. He arrived a day short of 3 weeks early. Chris was on night shift and was at work Thursday night. I woke up about 2:30am to a wet bed...my water broke! I quickly called the emergency number for Chris and got him on the phone. His trip home from work is usually a little over an hour. That morning he went from work to the mountain house (to get the camera) and then made it home in about 55 minutes! I still hadn't had any contractions at this point, which by now is 4:00. While waiting on him I washed dishes, watered the plants, made some hot chocolate and picked up the house a little bit. We got to the hospital about 5am. Once we checked in, the nurse confirmed that my water had broken so began the journey of having a baby.
At 6:30pm the doctor suggested that we consider a c-section. Chris and I were completly ok with that option. We could tell that Corban was in a little bit of stress when I was having contractions and we didn't want that to continue. We were very thankful that we decided to do that because after the c-section the doctor told us that the umbilical cord had been wrapped around his next twice, must have been from all the flips he was doing in the belly. He even had a little bruise on his nose and some red marks on his forehead from resting on my pelvic bone. Praise God he came out healthly!
The hospital staff at the hospital was wonderful and confirmed our decision to change OB practices so that we were able to deliver at Greer Memorial. Our room was huge and we had lots of room for family and friends that came to visit. In fact, we even were able to change rooms to a bigger room that wasn't being used...very nice!
