Baby Jonas has arrived!

Well, He is here...and he is darling. I think my adrenaline has finally ran out - because Jonas's schedule is killing me! I think he eats his weight in breastmilk every day! He is a chomper! Todd left for Detroit two days ago for the month of July. So it is just me and Jonas now...we are quite a pair! My day usually goes like this: bedtime at midnight, wake up at 2:00am, bed at 3:00, wake up at 5:00 and bring Jonas to my bed where we then sleep together until about 8:00 a.m. Then around 8:30 a.m. his little grunting noises finally pull me out of the deepest sleep and I change his diaper and he eats off and on ( he is a snacker) until around 10:30 a.m. eventually he goes to sleep about 11:30 a.m. and wakes up around 2:00 p.m. SO that is my life in a nutshell...meeting little Jonas' every need. He is the cutest. Olivia, my sister is a huge help. I call her the baby whisperer. She comes home around five and is able to calm him down even when he is in the most dreadful mood and screaming (not that it happens a lot right now...I am crossing my fingers).

The Windy City

Last weekend we went to Chicago......
We decided that we should take one last hurrah trip before we had to buckle down and be parents. I have always wanted to see the city and some of Todd's best friends live there: Ryan and Julie Hobbs. So it worked out perfectly - visiting friends and seeing the sights together. The first day we went to a Cubs game - they lost, but it was still good times! Wow, Wrigley Field has a spirit about it that pales to any corporate huge Chase Field Stadium like the D-Backs. Anyway, later on we saw Wicked and LOVED IT. The rest of the time we spent seeing the sights and walking among the work of the master's in the Chicago Museum of Fine Art. Ryan and Julie showed us a fabulous time. Julie is four weeks further along in her pregnancy - so she was a trooper to do all the walking that she did. I'll post a picture of the four of us below:
