Bringing up Colton

So, now that I'm officially a "supermom," I've got all the time in the world to tell you all about my son.

Surprise!!!

On the morning of Wednesday, September 28th at 6:34am, our bundle of joy, Colton Dean Bishop, entered the world. He was exactly 30 days early, but he was a healthy 5 pounds 10.9 ounces and 18 inches long. He has a wee bit of jaundice, but the doc says that he just needs a little sunshine to fix that. He's a very mellow baby, but he's eating well and already made a net weight gain of 2 oz from his birth weight. He's got an itty bitty body; we had to go buy some premie baby clothes because the newborn clothes he has doesn't fit at all yet.

Steven & I have fallen in love with our baby over the past few days. Birth truly is a miraculous process, even birth by c-section. I'm doing just fine from the surgery. It's slowed me down a bit, but day by day, I'm getting stronger and am able to do a little more. Steven has been overwhelmingly supportive in taking care of Colton while I'm recovering from surgery and has taken to his new role as a father better than I could have imagined. I thank God for such a loving and caring husband.

Colton has changed our world, and I can't overstate how thankful and blessed we are to have him in our lives.
