Our Easter Week Begins...

Cannon and I made cupcakes for his party at school.




The minute I pulled the beaters off, Cannon said, " I lick it!"


Finished product.












(I need to stop saying "What are you doing?" It annoys me).

The next day...






33 Weeks






Sutton's First Gift

Egg Hunt

Our Moms Club had an Easter Egg Hunt on March 20th.
I made rice krispie eggs, yum!




Waiting for instructions.

Comparing eggs.


I'll take that one!


Two Baby Chicks

There is a farm on John's Island, Legare Farm, that has a "Rent-a-Chick" program. Basically, you get two baby chicks for two weeks and then you return them. We started talking to Cannon about it about a week before we got them. He asked everyday about his "two baby chicks". He has really enjoyed having them, he feeds them and even gives them water. They have grown so much in the past week. We take them back April 2. Hopefully, I will capture a picture of Cannon with them before then.


This is "Thomas Corder".

Sutton Update

We will welcome "Little Baby Sutton Corder" into the world on May 11th around 8am unless he decides he wants to come earlier like my friend Angie's baby did!

My appointment on Monday went well.

Blood pressure: great! Weight gain: 13 lbs A little protein in urine but Dr. did not seem concerned.

Box of Crap

I recently participated in our Mom's groups' Box of Crap Exchange. Here are a few items that were the box I received.




Cannon cannot wait to dig into these.


How pretty.

note to self

note to self: do not not wear elastic waist skirts while out with your 2 year old. he may hold onto to skirt, stop walking when someone speaks to him, because he is shy, then your skirt may come down enough to reveal your entire booty to the entire dr's office!!

Three's A Crowd?

Today has been a great day! Cannon and I went to hear the baby's heartbeat which he says sounds like "pah pump, pah pump". We did a little shopping and enjoyed a nice "heathy" lunch at one of my favorite new places Five Guys, which is totally not my kind of place under normal circumstances, non-pregnant that is.

Anyway, my little companion and I had a great day. This was one of the first times that I have really felt like I was out my a "companion" and not a Mommy out with a toddler. We had great conversations, laughed and really enjoyed each other's company.

It has been one of those days that has me feeling guilty about rocking this little boy's world in the next few weeks.

Today ,I am thinking about how few moments are left in his life where he is the center of our little family, where he can have all the attention most of the time, where he can bask in our undivided attention, where we notice every new word and accomplishment. I feel like by bringing this new baby in the world, that Cannon somehow might get cheated...cheated on time, cheated on love, cheated on attention. Am I going to miss all these "little things" that amaze me about this child on a daily basis?

Today has me wondering if Three is a Crowd...

why

Why are my pregnancy shirts which normally are so long on me (because I am short) now to short for my explosive belly?

Why is my left eye running water? All day.

Why am I peeing 50 times a night? Okay, maybe not 50 but YES every hour!

Why do I need to eat a meal at midnight every night? Or like last Monday I had to eat a meal at 2am!!!

Why does hair still grow on your legs when you are pregnant? WHY? Seriously, could I get a break since my belly is to explosive to reach my legs?

Why is it dangerous to be thinking about letting my 2 year old shave said legs?

Why I am addicted to eating cookies and candy when I am pregnant?

Cannon and His Friend, Dev



I love the innocence of this. The purity of the love between these two. They really love each other and do not mind expressing it with hugs and kisses. I love how free they are, not worried about what anyone thinks about them. I wish this could last.

Look at our BOY!

He is FAMOUS! (click the link)

St Patricks Stroller/Wagon/Bike Parade

Last year, I TRIED to plan a little parade with our moms group. It rained! So I wanted to TRY again this year. The weather was beautiful, a little cool but still nice.

We had several Moms from our group but a local school decided to join us too, with 60 kids! It was quite interesting but turned out really nice and I think everyone had fun!

Baby Stuff

Okay this may seem like a "greedy" post but it is NOT intended to be.

Several of you have asked what we "need" for the little Sutton, so I thought I would give you the links to our registries.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Holy Shamrocks, Saint Patrick! We are not in Savannah anymore!
People in Charleston just do not celebrate St. Patricks Day like all you Savannah peeps!
Kids EVEN go to school on St. Patrick's Day, seriously!
