Update

Tomorrow Corbin will be 2 weeks old. In a way the time has flown by, but at the same time, it seems like ages ago that I was at the hospital. Corbin's umbilical cord fell nearly completely off yesterday, so in a few days we should be able to give him a real bath, which should be lots of fun. Also, I am really proud of myself, because I cut Corbin's nails today, which was a pretty scary thing.

We went to the doctors office for his two week visit today, and he now weighs 8 lbs! He has gained 13 ounces in the last 8 days. He is in the 70% for his height (21.5 inches), 40% for his weight, and 10% for his head size. I guess he has pretty small head, but no worries, the doctor said that doesn't mean he has a small brain :) It is kind of fun to be able to get these growth percentages. Here are some more fun pictures of the little dude.

This was taken last week at Corbin's doctor appointment. At the office, all the rooms have different themes. As you can see this is the Bronco's room. At our appointment today we were in the superhero room. I really like our doctor. It is a great office.

Corbin Potter

Corbin loves to have his hands up by his face. Here he is just chillin' while he sleeps.

What a good looking kid

More pictures

Corbin is now 4 days old, and he is doing great! Here are some pictures of him from days 2 to 4. I sure am having fun taking pictures of our cute little guy. Enjoy!

Leaving the hospital

First sponge bath

I might be biased, but...

I think he's a pretty cute kid!

Here he is. Corbin Clark born at about 9 p.m. on July 18. He weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces, and is 21.5 inches long (apparently he is going to be a basketball star one day). Here are some pictures that were taken about 40 minutes after his birth.

Already quite the ladies man!

Showing off how tall he is

Coupons are nice, but...

I sure feel bad using them, sometimes. Today I went to Walgreens because they had some stuff on sale that we needed, and I used some coupons while I was there. They had conditioner on sale, buy one, get one free. And I had a coupon for the same stuff, that was buy one, get one free. So essentially I got $10 worth of conditioner for absolutely nothing. But the poor man at the checkout was having the hardest time with my coupons. I felt really bad for him. He had to get someone to help him enter them in, and then when I got out to the car, I realized that he had charged me full price ($15) for some baby stuff that was on clearance for $3. So I had to go back inside and get that fixed. So, what should have been a 10 minute shopping trip turned out to be nearly 3 times that. I didn't mind waiting. It's not like my life is really busy right now. I just felt bad for the poor man that was trying to ring me up. He was having the hardest time, and the people in the store were kind of being jerks to him. It's too bad that using coupons has to be so difficult (but at least I saved a whole bunch of money!)

1856

Today we went and saw our stake's production of the musical, "1856". I was really impressed with the amount of talent in our stake. Afterwords, Clark and I went out to eat at Applebee's. All in all we had a really fun day. We have been busy trying to get everything ready for the baby (put all the baby stuff put together and get the house all cleaned). We still have a little bit of work left to do, but it was nice to take a day off and just have some fun together.

staci + harry

We went and saw the new Harry movie yesterday. I was surprised that I liked it as much as I did. Usually I am fairly disappointed in the Harry Potter movies, but I really enjoyed this one. I was especially surprised at how much I liked Professer Umbridge. When I saw the previews for the movie, I didn't think that the actor would do the character justice, but she did a really good job. Hemm...Hemm...

Take me out to the ball game

Last night we went to the Rockies vs. Mets game. Rockies killed the Mets (so sorry, Chad). One of the Rockies players even hit a grand slam! It was a really fun game, and we got to sit in the box that is owned by Clark's work. After the game they had a HUGE fireworks display. I have never seen a grand finale with so many fireworks going off at once. It was awesome!

3 for 3!!!

Clark just found out that he passed the 3rd section of the CPA exam! Way to go Clark! Now he just has one more section to go, and he is scheduled to take that one at the end of August.

Sweet swirling onion rings!

Today was good for a number of reasons.

1. Met with a pediatrician this morning. The office seemed really nice, and it is close to our house. One of the coolest things about them, is that they have two separate sides to the clinic: one for sick kids, and one for the healthy kids that are just coming in for a scheduled check-up. We won't have to worry about our baby sitting next to some kid with a virus, when we bring him in for his well baby check-ups.

2. Discovered a Little Caeser's pizza! I am so excited for $5 hot n ready pizza. The only bad thing is that it is about 10 or so minutes from our house. But still. I can't tell you how many times I have wished for some Little Caeser's breadsticks (Clark can eat all the pizza, I just want the bread...yum).

3. We went and saw Ocean's 13. It was a pretty good movie. Mainly it was fun to get out and about.

4. I was watching the food network the other day and they were doing a show about "cheap eats," and there was a lady on there that was talking about how to maximize your savings by using coupons. Woohoo for coupons! She has made a website where you can put your zip code in, and it goes through the sales for the week, for all the major stores in your area, and then pairs them with the Sunday paper coupons to tell you what the biggest deals are. The only downside is that you have to pay to have access to this information. Today I signed up for the trial version that is $1 for 4 weeks, just to see if it really does help me save more money. I will have to let you know. After the trial version, it costs $10 every 8 weeks, which could very well be worth it. Like I said, I will have to let you know. I am pretty excited about this. Let's just hope that our Sunday paper doesn't get stolen again :)

5. I only had to work for 3.5 hours today, and Clark had the day off.
