New Kid Just Around the Block!

Since Chelsea has to deal with something a lot more painful that I will ever have to go through, I figure that I will take the blogging over for now for at least the next few months. She has been doing an amazing job at taking care of Kayden while being pregnant. This is the least I could do...

Just to give you all an update... Chelsea will be induced on the 20th of this month (technically it is the 21st, but she likes to say the 20th..it just sounds better to her). We check into the University of Utah hospital at 6:00 p.m. and the process will begin! As soon as he is born, the University Hospital will stabilize him, and then the life flight team will walk him across "the bridge" (shown in the picture) to Primary Children's Hospital. I will most likely be staying with Chelsea, while our mothers will walk with Kayden to the other hospital.



The past few nights, we have both thought that we would have to make a dash for the hospital with all of the contractions, but they are simply "false alarms". She mentioned to me yesterday how the baby simply doesn't have any more room to move around, so he has to come soon!

Just want Chelsea to know how much I love and appreciate her. She has been so excited to put into practice all that she has studied the past few years in teaching/raising children. She will be such a great mom, and I am so blessed to have her as a wife. Thanks Chels.

The three of you have been in our prayers for the last eight months, and we will keep sending those prayers heavenward. I know Heavenly Father is aware of your circumstances, and He is watching over you. We are so blessed to have you here in Alpine with us. You keep us young and laughing! Have a restful time in the R.M. house, and we will do all that we can to make the next few weeks easier for you all!
