one month. corbin version.

i've written posts like this a few times.

miller version.
reese version.

corbin weighs, oh, maybe 7lbs? a little over 7lbs? i dont know the other stats. i go back at 2 months.



she sleeps a lot of the day. or EATS. she likes to eat. my boobs feel better, thank you for asking.



she wears newborn size, still, obviously. and has a bit of room to grow ;)



at night, she's so awesome. i feed her before i go to bed - around 10/11pm or so. she sleeps til about 1:30am? (sometimes longer) and then again at 5am. then back to sleep til i need to feed her a bit before we do school drop offs. :)



corbin is just an awesome baby. if she wants to cuddle, she's extremely happy in the sling. we spent all day at ikea in the sling. she sleeps, at night, in the rock and play, swaddled up, usually.



now at 5 weeks, its like she's always been here. i dont really remember the "before". maybe its because we're busy and she's just worked her way in so perfectly. but thinking "the last time i did _____, i was pregnant!" seems so odd lol

to rewind a bit from the last post about her:

2 weeks.

i feel like time is flying by me. its insane.

i am stuck between so many things. i want time to go slowly, to have corbin be a newborn for a bit longer. i want it to be in the future where reese is healed and our "normal" is much more boring than it is now. i want march to never come bc i dont want this [working] chemo to end. i want corbin to grow up and play and interact with her sisters. 

so instead, i just… live, i guess. day to day. hour by hour, really. each day ends with us in bed with reese. sometimes i get into bed and she's zonked out completely. sometimes she barely wakes up and smiles and rubs my face and cuddles up. each night is interrupted by a hungry reese or corbin. each morning starts off, now, with me sneaking to the living room to feed corbin before the ruckus of the day begins.

now i have a 2 week old. 

last week, corbin was 6lbs 9oz, which was 3oz up from when we left the hospital. she sleeps amazingly well. generally wakes up every 4-5 hours at night, but ive had a couple nights of 11pm, 5am, 830am. all of that said, thats if she's co-sleeping with me. as of last night, i cut that out and got a rock n play. she slept horribly in the pack n play, but i knew the way the RNP was built, she'd love it. and she did. we'll see how tonight goes. 

she eats every 3-4 hours during the day - sometimes more of a cluster during the evenings. my boobs hurt unbelievably but im trucking on through bc i know in the end ill be happy that i did. 

so now ill just catch up on CR photos :) from one week and today. im pretty sure youll see that today she and miller had a fabulous time…

and that miller is a huge ham who is also growing up right before my dang eyes. and i cant stop it. but i love it, anyway.





i am so blessed :)
