The Best Thing to Ever Happen in Our Lives?

I LOVE MY HUSBAND! I cannot imagine loving another human being as much as I love Brett. Brett and I have been a twosome for almost nine years now. We are perfect! We "fit", we complement each other, we are after all "two petes in a pod!".

Over the last 35 weeks there have been moments of anxiety when I think about sharing Brett, how our relationship is going to change, adjusting to a stranger joining our "pod", being a Mom, the fear of bringing Cannon into the world.

I have read in many books that my feelings are natural but when I ran into a fellow preggo a few days ago and she was so full of excitement, no doubts, no fears, just sheer BLISS; I worried about my normalcy.

On Christmas night, my dear sweet husband had to comfort me as I cried over sharing HIM, the pain of childbirth, needing a glider for the nursery, sore boobs, sleepness nights, never being ALONE with my husband, the pain of bringing Cannon into the world, will I be able to nurse, will he be a good baby, how can I love someone as much as I love Brett and more!

Brett comforted me in saying that "everyone says it is the best thing that has ever happened in their lives". It is hard to imagine anything better than my husband. If Cannon is better then I am going to be putty in his little hands.

I am praying for you everyday and that God will calm your nerves and that you will have a simple childbirth (if there is such a thing). And I am more than willing to babysit Cannon if you ever need some alone time in the near future. Please know I mean that, and that the only thing I ask if you could do the same thing one day when we have kids! hee!

Love you,

welcome to our pea pod.

This blog is about our family, mostly our precious boys; Cannon and Sutton, but you will find it a window into our lives.

Brett and I met and fell in love over waiting tables at the Original Benjamin's Seafood Buffet in Myrtle Beach, SC. We dated for about 4 years and were married September 2003 at Litchfield Plantation. We lived in Savannah for five years and now reside in Summerville SC.

Our beautiful boys were born 2008 and 2010.

We are amazed everyday by the gifts that are our children. They are a reminder of God's unconditional love for us. Someone once told me that you cannot begin to understand God's love for you until you have a child and it is so true. God sent His Only Son to DIE for us. I am not sure we knew what kind of sacrifice that truly was until having children of our own.

We love the Lord and strive to live our lives in accordance with His will. We are not perfect. Yes, we fail daily but find ourselves back at the cross willing to try again.

Our firstborn son. He made me a Mommy, Brett a Daddy! He is beautiful...inside and out! He has a the most gorgeous blue eyes and dimple to match. This kid is going to break some hearts! He is our athlete. He loves anything with a ball. He already has a great baseball arm and can hit a golf ball over our fence! He is spirited and loving. He is a lover for sure! He loves to give hugs and kisses and to cuddle. He will just grab my face and give me a million kisses. He loves books and music and art! He knows more songs that I do. I joke he has music in his bones. I often hear him singing while playing alone. So cute. He has a great sense of humor already and he fills our days with laughter! Who knew having kids would provide endless entertainment. He is becoming an amazing big brother and already tells Sutton that he "loves him so much". He loves to drink chocolate milk. Loves eat pancakes, hummus, edamame, and peanut butter and jelly! He has a huge sweet tooth just like Daddy. He is already showing that he loves God and Jesus and even beginning to relate the things in God's word to our world. Amazing! He is fearless and cautious at the same time. He is often called a daredevil and is usually the first kid to jump, climb, and run.. with no regard to danger (He laughs in the face of danger!! Ha). But he is very cautious around new people. He is creative and imaginative and smart, loves to create and destroy, has more energy than you can imagine, loves to scream and laugh and RUN!!! Watch out, this kid will run away with your heart.
