Bringing up Colton

Name: <Colton Dean Bishop>
Birth: Sept. 28th, 2005 @ 6:34AM
Aliases: Baby Bishop, our little peanut
Bishop October Baby (a misnomer, as it turns out)
Due: Oct. 28th, 2005
Registry: Babies R Us & USA Baby (registry #3504272234)
Latest Heartbeat Recording - 4/11
Latest Ultrasound Photo - 5/23

To our surprise, Colton was born 30 days early. His size was just about right for his gestation time, but in the next four weeks, he will play a bit of catch up. He's getting used to eating from Mamma now. We had to supplement him with formula so that he wouldn't lose too much weight in the first few days. We are now offically 5 pounds, 12 ounces, up 3.5 ounces from his lowest weight of 5 pounds 8.5 ounces. So at this point, everything's looking great for our little peanut.

Status: Dad-to-be has been busy setting up the nursery furniture, and I'm busy organizing all of Baby Bishop's tiny little things in his new room.

Nursery Design: Nautical & aeronautical themes chosen. Color palate is navy, red, yellow, and sky blue (and other pastels).

Nursery Furniture: Aunt Kellie has passed on the baby furniture which Steven's dad and mom each bought for Kiaya so long ago. It's moved in, and now the nursery decorating can commence!

Baby Gear: We've got most the yellow gear which we need. Now all we need is the baby!

Baby Clothes: Cousin Caleb's hand-me-downs have arrived, and Baby Bishop is very grateful. Also, thanks to all our friends and family who have given Baby Bishop such cute little outfits.

Baby Bishop and I are doing pretty well. The intense heat of summer gets to me at times, but fortunately, I have air conditioning at work. That makes the heat of summer a whole lot easier to deal with.

Baby Bishop is kicking quite a bit. His favorite time to make his presense known is right before I go to bed.

The stress of work is settling down quite a bit now, and Steven and I are really looking forward to the boat trip with Grandpa Marty, Aunt Dana & Uncle Mike, and Cousin Caleb. On the boat trip, Dana and I will work out all the details for the party this August in honor of Baby Bishop.
