This post is a little belated... I guess I have been a bit busy preparing for this new little one.

A couple of weeks ago, Mom and Kylene threw us a baby shower open house up Ogden. They did such a cute job with all the decor and food. They handmade all the invites and made these cute sewn baby diaper party favors. Geoff even got in the game and help make the "it's a boy" banner. I appreciate how much work and effort they put into this open house.

It was really nice to catch up with family and friends that I have not seen in ages. It was such a treat to visit with everyone, and when it was over I was sad to see them all go. I am constantly amazed at the generosity our loved ones have shown us. We are officially all set for the new baby!

Chris and I spent yesterday putting away and assembling the last of the baby equipment (swings, nap shacks, clothing and toys). The baby gear these days is much fancier than it was ten years ago, and much simpler to put together. Geoff, Ky, Logan and Isaac came by and we were able to test all the gear on Issac. Works perfectly!

We are scheduled for an induction on Wednesday, May 26, arriving at the hospital around 11. I am curious how long this labor will take in comparison to Andrew (34 hours) and Benjamin (11 hours). I hope quickly but we'll see. Long or short we will have a sweet new baby next week sometime. We are excited.
