The week that felt like a month
We left the hospital last Thursday. Leaving felt odd and coming home to an empty house felt even more weird. The kids had gone to my parents house the night before and the rest of the weekend they would be bounced from my brother's house to a friends house and then back to my parents. Clint had taken a whole week off from wk so that he could be home with me. With the other two he went back in two days and it was nice to have him here. I have recovered nicely from the birth and Corbin and I have a nice routine down. He lets us sleep at least 6 hrs at night and he is a very quiet baby. We have had to pick up a baby monitor for him b/c he is so quiet. Conner was 4 months by the time we moved here and I stayed on the same floor as him most of the time so it wasn't a problem, but now it is. Our first day home I had cabin fever so bad I had to get out. We went for walk around the block and that was enough for me. The next day I was content to stay home again and just hang out with my boys. Moving around was still a bit difficult as was sitting after a while. Sat we went to SLC to pick up the kids and spent some time with my parents. Sunday we w
ent to Clint's brother's house for a family dinner and so they could see the baby. By the time Monday rolled around again I felt like between the hospital stay and the time we were at home it had truly been a month. By Monday I was up and going again, running errands, picking up Kaily from school. It has all felt like nothing has changed, yet feeling like everything has changed at the same time. I don't remember much after I had Conner b/c I was so sick, but this time feels like everything has been faster than it was with the other two. I don't know if it's b/c this is my third or that Corbin is such an easy baby so far that I don't feel tied down as much as I felt with Conner. Maybe it's a lot of things.
