Baby Stephany has arrived....but my post is a little delayed!

Jack Joseph was born just about three weeks ago, Thursday April 8th, at 12:33 am.  It's been a crazy few weeks since he was born, but we are so happy to have him with us!

Grandma Mary came down the first week to help us out since Derek had to return to school on Monday.  She was a huge help and we really loved having her here.  But since then, it's just been the baby and me.  We are getting along pretty good.  Jack is a great eater and a pretty good sleeper.  We are getting some 3-4 hour stretches at night, so that is really nice.  We have had Jack out around the neighborhood for a few walks which he really loves. 

Last weekend both sets of grandparents come down along with Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Jake.  It was a house full, but we had a lot of fun just hanging out and eating some yummy food.  Hopefully in the next few weeks Uncle John and Uncle Pete will come for a visit!  And in just three weeks Derek graduates from UW-Whitewater!  We are so proud of him and can't wait for him to be on summer break!

Baby's due date + 9 days........

and we are hanging in there.  Last Friday we went to have the baby checked out, make sure he was doing okay still and everything checked out great.  Still plenty of fluid for the little guy and his heartbeat is just perfect. Our doctor is back from vacation on Tuesday, so we will know more then if she will induce me Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.  We will keep you posted with any other news and Happy Easter everyone!
