Corban's First 2 weeks

Both Jonathan and Aaron spent their first two weeks of life in the NICU, so having Corban home with us from the beginning was a strange and wonderful miracle! Now nearly a month later we are still adjusting to being a family of 5!! But looking back at Corban's first two weeks we were so excited to introduce him to family and friends in the comfort of our own home!!

Love him!

Corban had his 2 week check up and everything is looking good. His weight when we were discharged from the hospital was 7lbs 4oz, and his weight at his 2 week check up was 8lbs 4oz, so he was up one whole pound!! I also had a two week check up with Dr. Brunel and after ending the pregnancy at 161lbs, I weighed in at 139lbs, so I'd lost 22pounds!! Woo-Hoo!! Honestly the first two weeks were really tough. I was in a lot of pain.. back pain from the spinal, pain from a 3rd degree tear, pain from nursing... add in two older and very energetic kiddos and a newborn who was eating every1-2 hours around the clock, and a big lack of sleep and things were off to a rough start for sure. I actually broke down in tears the Saturday after we brought Corban home, just so tired and in pain, and frustrated with not being able to get everything done. It's still been a big adjustment for me... I'm a doer, a list maker, and I get things done... but now things are different. This little wonderful person needs a lot of my time and everything else just has to wait and pile up (aka dishes, laundry, etc). Thank goodness we've been so blessed with so many people bringing us meals! I just couldn't add cooking to the list! I also praise God that Kris can work from home most days giving me some extra support. He's been incredible, taking the baby so I can shower or grab a nap. I'm so glad to have him as my teammate. So I'm learning to redefine my priorities... if I'm able to get all 3 kiddos their meals and snacks for the day and get a shower, well that is a great day! Anything else on top of that is overachieving for now.
