My New Little Guy Is 5 Weeks Already!

I promised I'd post pics and his name once he arrived. My due date was July 14/07 and I had a scheduled c-section for July 6/07. He decided to come 2 1/2 weeks early on June 27/07 at 11:20 p.m. weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 19 1/4" long. Not quite 24 hours later he was whisked out of my arms and into NICU for some tests and unfortunately he was very sick with pneumonia. Being a little fighter that he is, he pulled through it and now is a 10 lb. 22" 5 week old cutie. He was in the hospital for 16 days which was very tough for us all but we're very relieved and excited to have him home now. We named him Corban Rhys which we feel is very fitting with our other boys' names. We stuck with the 'an' ending and an 'R' mn just like his big brothers. All 3 boys last 2 initials are RK just like dh's first and last initials. We are very happy with the name we've chosen and have gotten several compliments on it. Here are some pictures of our newest addition.

Congratulations! The baby and his name are both lovely! Sorry you had a rough start, but the memories of it and stress of it will lessen with time. Enjoy!

Terra,
He is a BEAUTIFUL baby! Congratulations! His name is very fitting. I LOVE the name Corban, too bad that my cousin just named her baby that. It was one of our favorites!!

Thank you! I only know of 1 other Corban around here. I do have a feeling there will be more in the years to come.

Thanks! Yes, he was a big boy for being early. I figure he would have been about 9 1/2 lbs. or more if he went to 40 weeks. Crazy. Corban's big brothers are very proud of him and are very good with him, too.
