This Week

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.

Preparations

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's Shower

Last Sunday, Baby Bishop had quite a party thrown for him at Grandpa Marty's house. Steven and I really enjoyed spending time with our friends and family members who were able to come. Baby Bishop now has everything from a cozy crib to the cutest little overalls I've ever seen, thanks to our friends and family. Steven and I have been very busy organizing the nursery and getting it all set up for the big day when we bring Baby Bishop home. Only a few weeks left!

Katie and Steven,

What a great party. Your dad and sis really did a first rate job.

How beautiful you looked Katie. Hope you are feeling well and all this heat hasn't worn you down.

Steven I loved your story about checking the routes to the hospital etc.

Will call soon to see if you can be here Friday after work. Aunt Deb so wants to see you "kids".

Love,
Grandma Eileen
aka Mom & "
