Looks like Sun., Feb 10th is our best day for the majority...sorry those who aren't able to make it :(

It also seems like the majority of us live fairly close to each other either western or southwestern suburbs.

I've always wanted to try Juicy-O , there is one in Downers Grove and Naperville. Suggestions welcome!!!

Me: 33, Endocrine issues & FVL       DH: 32, Nothing 
NTNP 2009-2012         TTC since 2012:
  • Clomid, 2 IUI cycles, and 5 IVF cycles = BFN
  • FET #1   August 2013 = BFP!     EDD 5/11/14
  • Jack dx at 19w1d with Dandy Walker on 12/16/13
  • Severe Pre-e /HELLP set in Jack born sleeping at 20w1d on 12/23/13
  • FET #2 --July 2014  BFP!  ---  EDD  4/5/15

Jack has handpicked his sibling up there :)

    Yes!!! JuicyO is my fave, good call! Their homemade doughnuts are so good!! I vote Downers Grove location, but I'm biased because I live like 10 minutes away from there. But also it's much more accessible to anyone driving in from the city or other areas since it's off of both 88 and 355!

    So excited!!

    DG works for me!!! How about 11? I'll post again about this maybe next week to get a head count now that we have a date, place, and time if 11works. Anyone know if they take reservations? I'd imagine not but I'll check and see :)

    Yay for DG (I say selfishly Wink)!! 11 sounds good to me! I don't believe they take reservations and the waiting area is kind of small and they fill up, but I can call this weekend and ask (doesn't hurt) and if there are going to be a lot of us, I can maybe get there a bit early and put my name in so we're not waiting forever! YAY, I'm so excited to finally meet some of you!
