Meet Emmett

Emmett Andrew Corbey was born September 29th to Ryan and Kirby Corbey. We were expecting to meet Emmett early, but not this early. He surprised his mom and dad by arriving 8weeks premature weighing an astounding 4 pounds 8 ounces.

Emmett and Kirby's lives could have been very easily taken from us had Kirby not gotten to the hospital when she had. Kirby was being watched very closely because of her past medical history and the way that they lost Connor (Emmett's brother) two years ago.  So this time there was no messing around. The pain was caused by the same issue as before, a ruptured uterus. Only by the grace of God was Emmett's placenta blocking the hole at the rupture site preventing any blood loss from Kirby, and allowing the doctors time to get Emmett out safely.


From the moment he was born, he established his own rules. He continues to amaze those who meet him.

Please join me in welcoming Emmett to this world!!!

  2. I don't know you, but I'm friends with a friend of your cousin (the power of Facebook). I want you to know that I'm praying for your son and for you, mom and dad. My daughter came home from the hospital two months ago (after a very long 7.5 week stay), so if you need anything that a compassionate, understanding ear (and set of hands) can provide, PLEASE be in touch with me. My email is aleah.buck AT gmail.com

    Praying that the "peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:7)

    Love,
    Aleah Buck

  5. Kirby.. I am sooo happy for you, Ryan and Emmett. So happy God has blessed you with this beautiful baby boy! It's so incredible when you hold your newborn baby in your arms for the first time and you gaze into each others eyes. There is a bond. You never knew you could love another human being as much as you love your little boy!
