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!

Still no baby Stephany....

Just wanted to give a quick update since everyone has been wondering, still no baby Stephany as of now.  We have just been waiting for his arrival.  Hopefully yet this week he will finally make an apperance.  We will keep everyone posted. 

Welcome to our blog!

I have decided to have a blog since we have the little guy arriving anytime now. I wanted to be able to share some pictures and just stuff that would be going on in our lives with our new arrival.  I have a few friends that do this and thought it was such a great idea to keep family and friends updated on what was happening.

I know there are some people who are interested to see what's been going on since our big news was announced.  I have posted some pictures of the baby's room.  My mom did so much to help me by making the bumpers, curtains, pillows and bedskirt.  She did such a great job, we just love the way everything turned out.  I have also posted a picture of me at 20 weeks, which is the only so called belly picture that we have.  I haven't been taking pictures of my belly except for the day we had the ultrasound back on November 13th.  I also included a photo of the cookies I made to make our big announcement to both families.  Everyone thought there were just getting a yummy treat, but they were all surprised to see what was written in cookies!!

So we have about 4 days until our due date of March 26th, although both Derek and I think it will be after the 26th, we just have to wait and see!!
