Ava is 3 1/2 weeks old and doing great. Christine and I are loving being new parents and also very sleep deprived. I don’t have much time to write here but I am also posting tons of Pics and Videos on www.babyjacobs.com

Things are awesome and I hope to post more on both sites but check out www.babyjacobs.com for update and to see our little angel.

Well I am not a huge Metallica fan but I love the song Nothing Else Matters. I have to say that after today and becoming a father, Nothing Else Matters. I am so thrilled and happy to become a father and Christine and I are so super excited to welcome Ava May Jacobs to the world. Ava was born 7/24 at 6:26am after about 17 hours of Labor and she is such a cutie.

I am going to cut this post short after 9 months of posting the count down. A new chapter has become and I am so excited. Watch for things going on here and don’t forget to check out www.babyjacobs.com for pictures and info coming soon about Ava and things going on with BabyJacobs

I really can’t believe that I am going to be a father in less than 6 weeks. Christine and I are doing great and the baby is a little gymnast all day and night and driving Christine nuts while trying to sleep. We have been really busy going to classed at NW and also packing getting ready to move June 30th. We have been plenty busy with dinners and movies and even snuck on a Cubs game and Vince Vaughn at Chicago Theater. Nothing really compares to the anticipation we are both feeling as the count down to the big day creeps closer.

I am sure there are tons of things I could fill this post with but I just going to say Holy Moly we are going to parents very soon. We don’t know the sex but I am pretty sure it is a girl and Christine is positive that we are having a boy. We both will be thrilled no matter what and we can’t wait to get moved in our new place and get it all set up for the baby.

Well that is it for now and get ready for much more baby news and info and pictures soon,

Not a whole lot to report but we are almost 29 weeks and Christine is feeling pretty good and looking great. We have both been busy working and spending time together and getting ready for baby. We are moving July 1st to a much bigger place that will be better for us and the baby and having guest over. The last month has been pretty boring with not much to report. We enjoyed my old friend Swetal’s wedding yesterday at the fairmont for a Indian formal ceremony followed by lunch and back for an incredible black tie formal reception in the evening.

Lockdown is doing well and the patios are all out and open. Phil’s Last Stand is busy and doing great and keeping me very busy. We are looking for another location and ready to expand.

Everything is great and we will be updating more as things get busier.

They weather has been amazing the last month or more and it seems more like summer than early spring. The Stand has been extremely busy since we opened and we have gotten all kinds of amazing press. Great review in Chicago Serious Eats and then we were on 190 North and then Kevin our head Chef was featured on WGN grilling live at the studio before the Cubs Opener plus we are going to be on Chicago’s Best Sunday April 8th. Business has been fun and I am learning a ton and I am looking forward to opening up more places in the next few years.

Nothing super excited on the food front besides many dinners and brunches at my new favorite place Prasino in Wicker Park plus a dinner at Topolobampo and few regular spots. Betsy and the kids came in to visit for a few days and we did Dave and Busters and Rain Forest Cafe and hung around a bit. I also went to DC for a quick trip to join Christine ant her mom to do some sight seeing and hang out. I ran my 1st Half Marathon of the season April 1st and I actually did much better than I expected finishing at 2:03

Christine is 23 Weeks right now and the baby is kicking up a storm. We are playing music before bed and doing lots of talking to her/him and we are both very excited and also very nervous and looking forward to seeing what our little baby looks like. Well that is it to catch up for now, I will be working on a new website for the baby soon to share everything www.babycjacobs.com. Till Next time..
