Bay Area Baby Party

Our friends Angelita Garcia-Stonehocker and Bill Martinusen hosted a marvelous party in honor of our baby when we visited the Bay Area in late March. We were overjoyed to get to celebrate our son's imminent arrival with so many dear friends and family members! Party photos are here: http://hilary.smugmug.com/Babies/Bay-Area-Party-for-Baby-B

New Digs

We will soon be moving to a new home! We recently signed a lease to rent a townhouse in Yorkshire Meadows, located near Wegman's grocery store (and, conveniently, Babies-R-Us!), by the corner of Gervin Road and Yorkshire Village Road. We'll be moving in mid-April, so please use our Lawrence Drive address until that time. Whether you live near or far away, we hope you'll come visit once we've settled in!

Buddies for "Baby B"

As we transition to parenting, we're encouraged by many friends and family members who've recently welcomed a little one (or two). We're thankful that our son will have lots of potential playmates!

Excitement & Expectations

We are thrilled (clearly!) to be expecting a child (after months of waiting and prayer) and are thankful that thus far my pregnancy has progressed well. In the absence of any morning sickness, I almost didn't believe a baby was on the way; for Steven it sank in when I went to bed by 10 PM last fall. Now I'm enjoying have my normal energy back, marveling at our son's little wiggles, and hoping the last three months aren't too tough. We can hardly wait for June!

Welcome!

Welcome to Hilary and Steven's baby blog! We are expecting a boy on June 20th, 2010 (Father's Day). Once the little guy arrives, we'll post pictures and other updates to this site. For now, you'll have to be content with some fuzzy-but-adorable ultrasound photos:

Nov. 9 (Week 8)

Dec. 7 (Week 12)

Feb. 5 (Week 21)

Look at that little guy grow! Check back often ~ we're sure that he'll be here before you know it!
