Shana and I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday, June 15th (Our due date was June 12th). While we were waiting to visit with our doctor, the nurse informed us that Dr. Yardley had been called to deliver a baby! Of course, it was not ours...stubborn child! In the doctor's absence, we saw the Nurse Practictioner, who later told us that nothing had changed (with Shana)!!! As a result, we have an induction scheduled for Wednesday, June 21st and will be arriving at the hospital around 12:00 mountain time. If the baby is born on the 21st, she will arrive on the Summer Solstice! But, for my sake, I hope the baby is born before the 21st because Shana is losing patience; and we all knowthe plethora of patience Shana has to begin with!
In the meantime, our families have been visiting and waiting for the baby's arrival. We took a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park (hoping Shana would begin labor), which everyone enjoyed. We also visited several other local attractions to pass the time. Shana's family (minus her nephew, Sheldon, who will be with us until July) had only planned to stay 1 week and traveled back home on Saturday; my family plans to trek home a day or two after the birth. The last week has been fun and it was great to get both of our families together to celebrate this time in our lives. However, having 3 little kids running around, out of their element, was very interesting to experience.
If everyting goes according to plan, our child will be born during the Summer Solstice; the day with the most daylight hours. Here's to a clear day!

You write an interesting blog. Thanks for letting me share this last week with you. I had a wonderful time visiting and seeing sites I had never seen. I will keep up with your blog daily and anxious to see the news of the arrival of "Little bity pretty girl". You will never know what this time has meant to me. Hard to believe Shirley and I could fight so much as teenagers and now spend two weeks together without a single cross word. Chris - I enjoyed meeting your family. Thanks for sharing your home with all of us. Love - Aunt Cathy
I am going to check this website until I see the picture of the little one! And congrats on the artwork. Hope you are all well.
Hi Shana and Chris, Hope you are thru with all the pain and suffering and are enjoying that little one by now. Will be waiting anxiously to see the picture on the web site. I know Shirley wanted to be with you when the baby came but at least you and her got to spend more time together. Looking forward to seeing you here in OK. soon. I'm praying for all of you. Love,Mary Newton
