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.

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!

Baby Bishop at sea

Last week was Baby Bishop's first boating trip to Desolation Sound. Cousin Caleb came along too, and he had quite a time getting his sea legs. Baby Bishop, on the other hand, was a wee bit cramped, and I was a wee bit overheated. The scenery was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the company was wonderful.

We went to our favorite spots...Laura Cove, Squirrel Cove, and Shark's Spit. We visited Connie's Island, and Steven and Grandpa Marty even swam around the island. We saw tons of seals, caught 62 prawns, and lost a fishing lure...much to the disappointment of Uncle Mike. (Sorry Mike!)

Baby Bishop and I were both very happy to have had a relaxing time with family, but I think that both of us are happy to have air conditioning again.

Baby Gear

Steven and I have found several things which will help us in preparation for Baby Bishop. Aunt Kellie will pass on the crib and changing table which Cousin Kiaya used so many years ago. Many thanks to her for that. Aunt Dana has offered to lend Baby Bishop whatever baby gear which Cousin Caleb outgrows by the time Baby Bishop comes along. That will make the thought of buying all the needed baby gear a whole lot easier to swallow.

27 1/2 weeks

So I went to the doctors yesterday, and Baby Bishop's heartbeat still sounds great. His activity has really increased dramatically within the past couple weeks. I have noticed, however, that I'm feeling contractions a little bit too often, so I'm trying to take things a bit slower and not work overtime.
