Our Little Thumb-Sucker

It is very apparent that Corbin loves to suck his thumb. Any time that he is not sleeping or eating, he is trying to stick some part of his hand into his mouth.

The weekend after Corbin was born, his Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Burdette came from Oregon to meet their newest grandson. I never thought that Grandma Kathy would work my boy's hair into a faux-hawk...

At Corbin's two week appointment, he was just barely under his birth weight, but he is much longer. The doctor measured Corbin to be 22 inches long. He now is just too long for one of his newborn pajamas, and his feet are bigger than the feet in his 0-3 pajamas.

So I got a call from Noelle on Thursday while at work. I was used to joking around with her and asking if her water broke everytime she calls. This time she told me that the doctor had told her to go over to the hospital to be induced. I was so caught off guard because her induction date was Tuesday, April 15.

I got to the hospital and she was already hooked up to the monitors. She was in labor for a little over six hours. About three hours into her labor the nurse showed concern that his heart rate would drop after the contractions. The doctor decided at 11:30 pm that he should be born cesarian due to the heart rate issue. He told me that in doing the c-section early on, there wouldn't be a rush. At 11:59 pm on April 10, Corbin was born.

I would say that the thing we hear the most about Corbin is how much hair he has. I think he looks so much like Noelle right now, which I think is great.

Due to the cesarian, Noelle and Corbin had to stay in the hospital until Sunday, April 13.

Noelle and Corbin are both doing great. I don't know any better, but I have heard so many people tell Noelle how well she is doing after just having a c-section. I think she is a trooper!
