I'm a big brother now

Everyone keeps asking how Tobin is doing with a new, little one around. Tobin is pretty much unaware of Corwin. About the only time he notices Corwin is when he cries. My mom brought Tobin up to the hospital a couple of times and he was much more interested in pushing mommy's buttons on her bed.

Grandma got this shirt for Tobin. Thank goodness for Grandma. She stayed at our place with Tobin while we were in the hospital. They had lots of fun walks and time in the park. Yeah, for Grandma.

Meet Corwin Ezekiel

Cowin(Heart's Delight) Ezekiel(God's Strength)

Corwin has a head full of dark hair and looks more like my baby pictures than Rob's.

This is Rob's hand with Corwin's footprint. I was so proud of Rob this time around. He was there during my epidural, cut the cord and actually watched some of the birth. Yeah, daddy.


Corwin was 8 pounds 11 oz and 21 in. long. He's not as big as his brother was but Tobin cooked a week longer than Corwin.

Here we go again....

I had a doctor's apt on May 11th(the day before my official due date)and my dr. thought, considering my history of labor with Tobin, that she would go ahead and induce me on my due date. I had an ultrasound and it showed the baby weighing about 8.13 so he was definately ready to come on out.

So, on May 12th we waited for the call from the hospital, which was around 8 o'clock that night, and headed off for the hospital. Mom came to be with Tobin and all was well. They started my patosin drip at about 10pm and gave me an ambien to sleep. My doc was not on call so she didn't want me to go into labor till morning. At 7am on May 13th she came in to break my water and then everything went speedy quick. I got my epideral at around 10am and was dialated at about 8cm then. Around noon my dr. came in to check on me and I was at 10cm and ready to go. She asked me to do a "practice" push and when I did the baby's head crowned. She rushed all of the nurses in and put on her gear and 3 pushes later we had another little boy added to our family.

He's Everywhere

I have been getting things ready for out next, little bundle of joy. I've been washing everything and putting it back together again. Tobin has had fun reuniting with his old toys and baby equiptment. He loved crawling back into his old carseat.

We got a truck load of diapers from uncle Vince and aunt Kirsten the other day. WHAT A BLESSING!!!!!! Mommy was thankful for the diapers, Tobin was thankful for the large boxes they were delievered in.


I was washing dishes the other day and I turned around to find this photo opportunity.

Easter weekend

We traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Black's for Easter weekend. We love going there. It's always so relaxing for all of us. Rob and I usually get a date or two in while we are there and they love our son like crazy.

Grandma put together some plastic eggs that we're pretty much noise makers for Tobin. He had a great time taking them out of the basket and putting them back in. He wasn't so crazy about the grass around the eggs. He's such a city boy.

He also had fun riding on the tractor with Grandpa. It was a fun weekend had by all.

Tobin is a growing boy

Tobin is growing in so many ways. His curls, belly and cheeks. :)

Tobin is nesting with Mommy

I have been going crazy for the last couple of weeks. I have been on a cleaning/organizing frinzy. It makes me wonder if this baby is coming early. Tobin has been a great help durning this nesting process. He has enjoyed taking things out of containers and putting them back in the containers. He got his own little trash bag and put stuff inside of his trash bag. His favorite thing was to swiffer. He kind of puts his own unique little spin on swiffering. Instead of sliding the swiffer across the floor he stamps the swiffer on the floor. It's the cutest thing. He'll stamp the swiffer, walk a couple of feet and stamp the swiffer again.
