Baby Makes Four

John and I have had a crazy two months since our last blogpost.  At the very end of March we found out that Amber was pregnant with our first child.

Two days later we confirmed the pregnancy at the doctor's office and then a week later we got to see the first picture of our little one.

Baby Okray is due on December 2nd, 2012 and we couldn't be happier to be parents in a little over 6 months!  A few weeks later we got to hear the baby's heartbeat and that was pretty amazing!

As of today we have made the announcement "Facebook Official" and are very excited with all the congratulations and well wishes as we embark on this new phase of our lives.

In addition to the awesome baby news we received some other wonderful news.  Amber's school district (the School District of Beloit) passed a $70 Million referendum and will be building a new school within the district and adding onto eight other schools within the district.  Since this referendum passed Amber will be getting a music room and most likely not have to travel from school to school or room to room to teach music!  Because of this referendum passing we have decided to stay in Janesville and have begun house hunting.  We are very excited to make Janesville our permanent home where we will raise our first child and can't wait to find a home to call our own.

In the past two months we've also gotten to celebrate our friend Avery's 30th Birthday (it was a surprise and we definitely pulled off the surprise!)  We also went to see "Avenue Q" with some friends in Janesville and if you ever get a chance to see that musical it is awesome!

At the end of March Amber helped plan an awesome bridal shower for one of our best friends, Amie, and had a wonderful time the next month at Amie's bachelorette party.

John's trivia team "Festivus for the Rest of Us" won the world's largest trivia contest which is hosted every year by WWSP Radio Station!  They have been working on winning this contest for 11 years and are very excited to be champions!

My that's a lot of stuff!  We'll leave you with that for now!  Until next time!  Go Pack Go!
