No, not an April fools joke!...those were the words we heard on this day one year ago! On April 1st, 2011 we had our 22 week ultrasound that confirmed what we were expecting: we were having a baby boy :0) The room was full of happy family members as we all looked to the screen where the ultrasound tech ("tech Tom" as we refered to him in the upcomming weeks since that's how he was listed on my appt sheet) showed us all the boy bits that confirmed the gender! We knew we'd call him Jack, it wasn't until weeks later that we decided on Martin as the middle name (for my maiden name, obviously). We went out and bought a few blue things, and the real fun of completing the registry started! This baby boy would turn out to be the best thing we've ever had happen to us, and I really cannot imagine loving anything or anyone as much, though I'm sure I will learn a few years down the road when #2 comes along!
Last week, Jack and I enjoyed a few outtings with the mommies from our mommy group and their babies. We had lunch at Red Robin where Jack was of course flirting with the waitress and "talking" (ok, more like screaming, but happy screams) to the other babies at the table. We also had a fun play group date with his friends. My parents were up for the day yesterday. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Lou Malnatis in downtown Naperville, and mostly just chilled around here the rest of the time since the weather was gloomy and Jack was a sleepy boy and took a 2hr nap in the morning and another 2hr nap in the afternoon! Unfortunately, I'm not feeling so hot today, sore throat and a headache. That, plus the questionable weather made me decide to keep Jack home with me while Matt plays his football game this afternoon. But, we're headed over to Chris, Christine, and Rylies after lunch to snap a few Easter pictures of the 2 babies and enjoy a nice dinner.
In other news: the clubhouse in our neighborhood is already booked the weekend of Jack's birthday. Soooo, I'm wondering what to do? Have 2 parties? Which would make it muuuuch easier for all of our family in Indiana to come. When to have those parties? Have one here for our Illinois family either the weekend before his bday (which is the weekend after the 4th), or the weekend after his bday, depending on availability of the clubhouse? And have his Indiana party the weekend of his birthday? But, where? My parents house? (news to my mom and dad that I'm thinking about this haha). So, lots of things to consider here. Everyone just loves him so much and can't wait to share his special day, so I've gotta figure this out, and soon!
We took a few cute pictures this weekend, I'll post those, along with some cute ones of Rylie and Jack from today (hopefully) early this week!
