A Brand New Adventure Starts Now

On November 6, 2011 at 4:24pm something amazing happened.  Our happy family of 2 was blessed and changed forever. Someone new decided to join the ranks and we have become "the three best friends that anyone could have."  Desmond Grant Cannon came without a fuss at 7 pounds 13 ounces.  I had a wonderful pregnancy; no complications and I never got sick once. 

I went into labor 2 days early, had a good labor and delivery, pushed for 35 minutes and then he was here in all his glory.

Despite my episiotomy and some tearing, I felt fine the next day, and 4 days later I was back in my pre-pregnancy jeans.  Desmond sleeps for 3 1/2 - 5 hour stretches at night and I only have to get up once or twice with him.  He is beautiful and so sweet and we are in love with every 21 inches of him. 

Danny jokingly threatened to beat him up several times while I was pregnant.  He is looking forward to having someone to wrestle with, but it was Desmond who came out fighting, he has already peed on Danny twice.  The first time was only minutes after he was born.  He has yet to pee on me.  :)  

Danny says I'm dead inside because I never cry, but that has all changed now. When I do little things like sing him the first few lines of "Families are Forever" as he falls asleep or write about him in this blog I start blubbering.  I can't control the water works.  This baby has already captured my heart and I will never be the same again.

Welcome to our family Desmond! We're so glad the Lord has sent you to us.
