Introducing....

Well I guess now that he is two months old we should probably introduce our new little man.



Meet Corbyn D Cordingley. He was born September 2, 2012 @ 8:32 am. Weighing 6 lbs 11 oz 18 inches long. This c-section went a million times better than the last one and I healed much quicker as well. All the nurses loved Corbyn and thought he was such a doll. There were nurses from the other labor and delivery side that would come over to see him. So he definitely has his way with the ladies already. It was funny because the day we were leaving all of the nurses were sad to see their little man going. :)
11 days after he was born he put us through a scare and was admitted back into the hospital due to a high fever. They kept him for 48 hours and everything came back inconclusive so once his antibiotics finished they sent us home. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. I will never wish anyone to have their baby be in the hospital. EVER! I hated seeing my little guy lying in the big hospital bed so sad and grey.



I'm so thankful that all I had to spend in the hospital with him was 48 hours. After that, things have been pretty good.
He was blessed on October 14th and was the cutest little man in a tux that I have ever seen. :) I was a little worried after Brock had blessed him because he blessed him to keep up with his big sister... I don't know of I'll be able to handle two million mile an hour babies!


Corbyn is good little baby. He had a stint after he got out of the hospital where he was very attached and hated being put down for anything. Which I don't blame him- he was pretty traumatized from being poked several times, cathed 5 times, a spinal tap done on him, and his temperature taken rectally every two hours. I think I would be too.



He is a lot more cuddly than Addy ever was which I, of course, love. :)



He turned two months old and is doing a great job smoozing everyone and getting what ever he wants by smiling at us. He's super chunky and has no neck what so ever.



And has quite the pot belly too!
I love this little guy with all my heart and so does his daddy and big sister. Addy is so cute with him. She will randomly go up and just pet his head and give him kisses. She is also a very good mommy and comes to let me know every time "baby is sad". I'm so glad that she has such a good little heart and she loves her baby brother so much already.







She even tests out his new things for him to make sure they're safe. ;)



She also wants to make sure he has plenty of friends too. Even if he doesn't like the friends she chooses for him.

Here's some pictures for the road



He loves to hold his head up and this night he sat there and held his head up for 15 minutes straight.




First tub time. He looks so tiny! I can't believe how much he's grown already!



He barely fits in the sink anymore!



He already sits in his bumbo. It's so funny to see such a little guy sitting up in the bumbo. It swallows him up!






He likes to sit and computer with dad....


Other times he gets bored and falls asleep. :)



He likes to get his hairs did by his dadda.




This was him the day he came home from the hospital. He was so tiny!!



His two month appointment was today and he's growing very well

Such a cute little chunkster!!!

Last night of the three amigos

I'm torn between this very concept. I'm so very excited for our little man to come tomorrow, but at the same time I'm very sad to know that it will never be the three amigos ever again. No more just mommy and Addy days. No more just cuddles watching a movie with my baby girl only. I'm very excited to soon have two cuddles, but still... I'm crying as I write this and I have no idea why this bothers me so much. Maybe the post-partum depression is already kicking in. I guess I'm also sad because I know that this heartbreaking realization is going to be coming to my baby girl, as well, very soon. I don't want to hurt my baby's feelings and I'm sure knowing that it's inevitable is also what is making me have these feelings.


I took this today after we got back inside from playing in the big rainstorm. We had so much fun and I loved watching my baby have the time of her life without a care in the world.





We've been her whole world for almost two years and now she has to share us. Imagine you having to share your all time best friend or your spouse. That doesn't sound fun does it?



I love my baby girl with everything I have in me and I know I will with my little boy too, but it still is hard for me to be hurting my baby's feelings and knowing that it will never be like this again. Oh well huh... Here's to life changes. :)

Announcement?

Well I guess I have never announced on here that we are expecting our second. Oh and that he's coming on Sunday!


We're super excited for this little guy to come. He's been a monster that's for sure. He has moved so much more than Addy ever did and moves almost constantly! That's why he already has the nickname of monster. :)



We have everything set up and ready for our little monster to come. I'm scheduled to have my c-section 9 A.M. Sunday morning. It's a little scary for me since my last experience with Addy was such a horrible one, but my new OB has reassured me that this time will be much easier. You may be asking well why didn't I go along with the plan of a VBAC? That's because this time around my OB was actually concerned about my brain tumor and sent me to have a consult with a neurologist. Yeah that consult didn't go how I wanted it to go, but deep down I kinda knew already that he was going to tell me that I wasn't allowed to go into labor and push because of the risk my tumor hemorrhaging and either killing me or turning me into a vegetable. I was pretty devastated anyway and cried quite a bit that day and the days afterward, but I'm ok with it now. Especially now that I'll get a better looking and feeling scar this time around.



As far as how Addy is going to be I don't know. She knows that baby brother is in momma's belly and she will give him kisses and "loves" (that's what she's doing in his pic). As far as her knowing that there is a new baby that is actually coming to stay and live at her house.... I don't think she has grasped that yet. I'm having a hard time with having her be sad and hurt. I don't want to make my baby girl sad and I cry every time I think about it. We've prepared with gifts and stuff that "baby brother" will give her when she comes to the hospital to see us. So I'm hoping that will help ease this transition somewhat.
Well until next time. :)

1 year Pictures

We recently went down to Fotofly in Draper and got Addy's 1 year pictures taken. She was such a champ this time around and we got so many great pictures of her. Her photographer that she had was amazing as well and knew every way to get Addy to smile. I can't believe the difference between this:

And her pictures that were just taken. Where did my little baby go!?!?!? I have loved every minute of this past year raising her and I look forward to all the many years ahead.  Well anyway here are the shots that they got. :)
