First Holiday...
Since we have a newborn we will most likely not be doing Halloween in style this year. While we wish we could dress little Jack up as a Jack Sparrow or Greg Ellis or Tony Romo and take him to the Prestonwood fall festival, it would be mainly for Erik and I to parade him around and show him off because he'd be sleeping through all of it! Not to mention the thousands of kids with runny noses running around our little pre-2 month shots newborn. Just irresponsible I suppose. So we didn't get him a costume this year and we are patiently waiting on next year to roll around. The only problem is technically this is his "first" holiday and in his cute little 'baby book of firsts' we got him there is an insert for a picture of his first holiday...great...so I guess we just take a picture of him sleeping in a cheesy Halloween onesie and cut our losses? Kind of a bummer but when you are born October 2nd I guess you don't have much choice. What do you do if your first holiday is Thanksgiving? Dress your child as squanto or one of the first settlers? Maybe a turkey or a horn of plenty? Oh the struggles..I mean JOYS... of parenthood:)

3 Weeks Old
Erik and I have been parents for 3 weeks now and things seem to be running along quite nicely thanks to the hundreds of times I've bugged Hillary or Julie with "really important mom questions". I didn't realize just how many questions I would have about this whole mom thing. I mean shouldn't they send you home from the hospital with some sort of users manual or something??? Jack is so patient with me as I figure things out...he has his dad's laid back personality and really only gets upset when he's uncomfortable, hungry, or sleepy...again...just like his dad:) I posted a picture that describes Jack to the tea...so chill...

Baby Jack
So with the new addition to our family we are going to begin our family blog. We have been looking at all our friends' blogs for months and finally we are starting our own! Our son, Jack, was born on October 2nd weighing 7 lbs and measuring 19 1/2 inches long. After laboring for 20 hours with zero progression Dr. Wells gave us the option of a C section which we GLADLY agreed to! The C section went GREAT and the recovery has been wonderful! We were very pleased. We took Jack to his 2 week appointment this week and he was already 8 lbs and almost 21 inches long so that made mommy feel much better about the whole nursing thing! We are hoping that in a few months he'll be our little chubs! We are so excited about Jack and the fun times we have ahead.
