1 week home



Today marks 1 week since Mason's homecoming and boy have we been busy. This past weekend, Josh's brother Nick got married and we were in the wedding. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun participating in the festivities. Corbin walked down the aisle and was a trooper through the whole event. Mason did great at home with Gigi. We did have a couple of sleepless nights snuck in there just to make things a little interesting but we survived.





Willow Oaks Plantation was right up Corbin's ally. Tractors, golf carts, dump trucks galore!

Taking a nap on the pillow once he got up the aisle. He actually went and sat down on the second aisle and sat quietly (kind of singing) through the whole ceremony until it was time to walk back down.

Mason even sent his congrats!

In other news, we have been trying to balance meds, feedings, equipment, cords EVERYWHERE, crazy monitor that goes off frequently because the leads come off, it needs charging, etc. It has been a little hectic but I am praying it will get easier. Mason was weighed yesterday by Kidspath nurse and he is almost 11 lbs! He is doing well taking the bottle if we get it the right temperature and give it to him before he gets so hungry he is irate (has taken complete feeds numerous times and is doing well). Learning all of these little quirks are definitely helpful but it has been a learning curve. He also has been waking up about 30 minutes or a little bit later after each feeding acting like he is starving so I spoke with the nurse about adding more and that has made him happier. They are reworking everything to try to get him moving towards a 3 1/2 to 4 hour schedule. He will get fussy if he needs to be burped, has a dirty diaper, you know normal baby stuff. Of course, at first, I was freaking out thinking it was something worse but I had to remind myself that he is a BABY. Everything else is going well, Corbin seems to be adjusting fairly well. I have not yet ventured to keep both children at the same time yet but hopefully I will try later on this week. We are so thankful to be together but not saying it isn't a little crazy! Take a look:
Mason LOVES this rainforest play mat and will look around. 

 Lifting up this head is hard work!

This boy is enjoying being a helper and is trying his best. He cracks me up! I sure love both our boys!

  1. I am sure it is a lot of getting used to and a lot of work, but so thankful you have both of your little boys home with you now. Love the last two photos of them!! :)
