First FREAK OUT!

Okay, I have been making fun of my friend Michelle for some time because she has her Pediatrician and Poison Control on speed dial. Throughout my pregnancy everytime I was worried about something she assured me that it would only get worse!

Well, Monday night we noticed that Cannon had a yellow discharge coming from one eye. I wiped it with a warm cloth and minutes later there was more yucky stuff. I started panicking and began to analyze every aspect of his behavior for the entire day.

Finally, Brett decided to call the pediatrician. We had to answer 1 million questions and then take his temperature. Since he did not have a temperature we were isntructed to watch him and take him to the office to see the doctor on Tuesday. When we got to the doctor, his eye looked fine.

She gave him a antibotic just in case and instructed us to massage his little nose

becuase she thinks he has a clogged tear duct.

While we were there, he was weighed and weighs 7 pounds 13 ounces!!!

We have our "well-baby" check up tomorrow.

Anonymous said...: Michelle's comment reiminds me of a song but the name of it is,
"We've Only Just Begun" by the
Carpenters. But of course that was before your time. It is very
appropriate for you and Brett!; February 6, 2008 at 4:49 PM

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.
