The info
Corban told his daddy he was going to be a big brother with a t-shirt that says "big brother." Corban handed a walmart sack to him with the shirt in it (Why change tradition?) Eric was more than suprised. For now my due date is Sept 14thish. We will know more after the ultrasound in about a week and a half. I had to change my doctors to one who comes to Alabaster so I see D. Hudson now, I like him alot though. He said he always comments on socks and toes.........sorry, you only get that if you are a girl. I have to be honest a girl would be nice, but we are set if we have a boy.......either way, this is it!
Corban is growing fast I can't believe he will be on next month....... his latest things are
- still loves the remote and all cell phones
- the swiffer is one of his favorite toys
- likes to bite, me mostly- he gets his little hand popped
- anything with a cord
- the vacuum cleaner
- all doors must be closed
- his toy where the little animals pop up when you push the button, must always be closed, wonder where he gets that anal retentiveness from?
- weighs over 20lbs.
- still has ear infections but no 104 temp and sleepless nights
- has decided he can sleep through the night
- refuses to eat any baby food...... except for cereal....... ssshhhhh don't tell him!
- is into EVERYTHING
- loves to dance any time there is music
- pulls up
- stands by himself... when holding on to something
- walks with help of mom and dad
- favorite word uh-oh
- loves to cuddle when sleepy

Say a little prayer....
1) We got a call this afternoon from Eric's Granny. Hospice has just left the house and they said it could be any minute for his Poppy to pass away (his Granny's husband). When Eric Gets the call he will be making a trip to Fl. If you recall Granny lost her only child, Edward, Eric's father, a year ago to cancer. This will leave Granny with her only family in Alabama (Eric) and Ga. (Chris) Eric's older brother.
2) I have an interview Monday for a different position at Regions. It will mean a pay raise in my salary and a set m-f ,8-5 position. The catch is it is not in sales and I will not get comission, so it is kind-of a wash. They recently changed the way comission pays and when I looked at my November sales If I would have done 2 itsy bitsy more things under the new pay out I would have made an additional $900 on top of my base pay for the month, with the sales I had without changing anything it would have been $600..... so I don't know if I want to move or not.... The pay will not be that much better, I don't think.

Work/ life update
-Work is good. I am top in sales on my "team" (there are 17 of us).
-My manager is cool, in another 2 months I will get to change my schedule and the latest I will have to work is 6pm, which is great!
-Eric's life has become less hectic thanks to no longer having to attend chamber board meetings or city council.
- Our house is for sale and we hope it sells soon b/c we found another one that we really like.
- Aaron, my brother, left for SA, Texas On Tues for Air National Guard- there for 8 weeks then waits 2 weeks there after training and then goes to north TX for another 6 weeks.
- We are attending church at Church on the Rock, it is two minutes from our house and the preaching and people have been great! I can also actually put Corban in nursery and not have to worry about 900 kids being in there.
- Christmas was great I need to post pics I have just been so busy and tired- read the Corban update to learn why.
Corban Update
- The past couple of months have been difficult. Corban, for some reason, LOVES ear infections, the oral anti-biotics did NOT work, he had to get shots, Sun, Mon, Tues. He was more than difficult to get to sleep then he would wake up and literally scream for 1-2 hours, like throwing his head back, arching his back screaming....... this can only be tolerated by parents for so long!
-The next Wed. we were at the ENT. Our wonderful peditrician didn't make us wait for 6 infections b/c he has had so many rounds of antibiotics (see what happend at five months with his first surgery) and the fact that they were not working. The audiologist tested Corban and confirmed our fears, Corban was not hearing fully. After using a implant on his head, that bypasses the fluid in his ears, it was determined that once the fluid was removed his hearing would return fully. PTL!
- Tubes were scheduled for Monday (this past Mon) at Childrens downtown- surgery went great! Granted he had a more than nasty infection so we are now on ear drops but no more 104 temps.
- Since Corban's tubes he is crawling faster, eating more (for the last month he put on NO weight) and standing. He is also learning more words, b/c he can hear them.
- Last week was Corban's last week at daycare. This week he started being kept by a friend from church who used to be a nanny, taught at montisory school and worked at the CDC. Not only will Corban get better care and learn more but it will save us well over $100 a month! It also helps that she was not "closed" today when we had to go to work and all the other places were.
