Little Baby Goes Poop......all night long!

It's not the favorite part of being a new mom but it is what it is.......poop!

All newborns need to have those nice poopy diapers to kick start their system. Well, I think Cannon's system is in first gear now. Aaron experienced the very first poopy diaper at the hospital and surrendered his rights to change him and it seems he got another free pass when he was at work and Cannon decided to have his first BLOWOUT!

With this blowout came the discovery of just how good a set of lungs can be on a week old baby. I'm sure if Cannon could speak he would ask what took so damn long for me to change him and get him redressed. I'm still perfecting the changing of clothes on a newborn, it seriously does take me forever because I'm afraid I'm going to break his arms trying to get them in his clothes.

Once again, it's these very small things in my new son's life that I will come to miss when I have to look back in the years to come.

To all parents around the world who have come before me in changing poopy diapers.....I am now officially part of your elite group!

Welcome to the World!

I must give God all credit in the birth of our new son. He gave us the perfect love in Cannon. We never imagined how much joy this little one would bring to two people, as well as to so many others who have prayed for this blessing in our lives.

From the bottom our mine and Aaron's heart, we thank our family and friends who have truly prayed for Cannon, then supported us while we awaited for his arrival.

Until my next posting I send out this advice......stop and thank God for the blessings in your life, large and small, they are what makes life worth the ride!

Proud Mommy!

FEET!

Going to my first doctors appointment

It's getting close to "B" day

That would be BIRTH day for sweet baby Cannon! Only 3 more weeks.

We feel as if we are ready. The crib is done, diapers are bought, bags are packed and I feel as if I couldn't get any larger at this point.....but they tell me I can!!

Cannon, you are so very loved by so many people. Last week, the Planning Department threw mommy another shower and they gave you so many great things. Cristin is really getting into making sure mommy has just the right things for you so she has been a GREAT help in preparing for your arrival. Even today mommy got a cute outfit from Kim at work and I can't wait to put it on you and hold you.

THANK YOU Town of Bluffton for loving & supporting me and Cannon. I can't wait for everyone to meet my baby boy!
