Well, Corban has now slept through 2 nights in a row!!!!! WOO HOO! I’m actually starting to feel a little sane again.
On Saturday, he had his first “swim lesson”. We took him over to Eric’s Aunt’s house – they have a nice pool. So, in he went with Auntie Ronnie and he took to it like a duck in water! He actually looked like a turtle with his butt sticking out. He was kicking his legs and everything. Here’s a picture of Corban and Eric from the swim. It’s my favorite!
So, by the time we ate and got home, it was well past Corban’s bedtime. We quickly bathed him and he went to bed almost right away – even without the boob! He didn’t wake up until 5AM and then ate and went right back to sleep until 7ish!
Then last night, we kept him up a little later than normal. He went down around 9, again without the boob, and slept until 7AM. I hope this is not some fluke. I’ve been praying that God give me just one night of sleep. Well, he’s given me 2 so far and I’m thankful. We all are more rested. However, my back hurts from sleeping in the bed so much. But, I’ll accept that hurt for sleep!
We also took Corban to meet his “older” brother Logan for the first time yesterday. It was very strange for me being there and looking at the grave of my 1st son and then seeing Corban alive and well in his car seat. I love Corban with all my heart, but I will always miss Logan and will always wonder what kind of kiddo he would have been. Would he be high needs like Corban is or would he be mild mannered? I’m sure I will be “wondering what” the rest of my life.
That picture is so cute!
Unfortunately “wondering what” they would be like will always be there. I’m hoping for the day when I wake up and I just know who they were- so there are no more questions. I’m sure the constant comparisons don’t help either.
How was the big brother visit for you? Is that the first time you’ve been back since Corban was born? I’m glad he had that moment, but I wished it was different for you and Corban.
BTW, is he really “high needs”?
What an adorable lil’ one! We need to get together IRL so I can give him a kiss on the cheek. I’m glad he got to meet Logan and vice versa.
Hello there,
Thank you for the kind note regarding Pierce on our blog. We love our little doodlebug and yes raising them is a truly amazing experience. Every day is different. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, they change and start doing something completely new. Pierce has started to arch his back and try to roll over…even in the bathtub/seat so we’ve got to watch him like a hawk from now on.
I couldn’t help but read about Corban and seeing how much he’s grown and put on weight…and how much hair he has! The picture of him swimming in the pool is adorable. I was sad to read about Logan. I cannot imagine what that was like, nor do I want to and reading the posts regarding the miscarriage brought me to tears. What a blessing Corban is to your family and I know you cherish him so much.
It sounds like you guys live in the Austin area. If so, we do too! What a small world we live in. Well gotta run. Maybe we’ll meet you guys some day.
God bless,
Shari
