 Waiting patiently is really hard to do! I feel like we are ready for this baby now and the belly is getting quite cumbersome- and all we can do is wait for the baby to be ready. I keep thinking “this could be my last day of work” and the hospital bag is packed… (Read the Rest…)

So this is probably the last profile shot you will see… this outfit is stretched to the max and not looking very attractive at this point! The baby and I are packing on the last few pounds and although I’m still moving around fairly well, I’m not sure how much bigger the belly can get! (Read the Rest…)

Looking great Steph! These last few weeks will fly by and then your lives will be changed in so many wonderful ways that you never could have imagined. You have so many loving friends and family supporting you and that great husband who I know is pampering and doting on you these last weeks:) We love you all.
We had a fun weekend that included a couple of baby showers! My mom and dad were down for a few days so it was great to spend some time with them. My good friend Amy Johnson hosted a wonderful shower on Saturday and Jeff and Patty Boots threw a fun couples shower for us (Read the Rest…)

What fun pictures of the shower! Thanks, Nana Jo! Was it the “grandmas’ intuition” that we both came wearing PINK?!! Stephanie, you look so darling in your”stripes” goin’ ’round that grandbaby! Can’t wait to start using all those wonderful gifts (doin’ the “Grandma Strut” with that cool stroller . . . )
Thanks, Amy and Jan, for a very special day!

Wow, great video, Steph and Josh! Sparky came trotting into the den when he heard your voice, Steph! What will he (and Koda) think when he hears Baby Keck cooing (crying!) in the background! You’re looking fantastic . . . can’t wait to see you guys this weekend! Love, Mom
Since many of you have an opinion on what this little baby will be, we thought it would be fun to set up a baby poll! Enter your name and then your best guess of the gender, birth date and weight… we haven’t decided a prize for the winner yet; one idea was that the (Read the Rest…)

Not much to report this week so I just wanted to share some old baby photos! As I wrote in the previous entry, I’m getting anxious to meet the baby and see what he/she looks like… will he have Josh’s eyes or will she have my nose? We had a nice trip up to Grafton (Read the Rest…)

You put those two awesome babes together and you get one gorgeous baby!! Sad thing is I remember that terrycloth outfit and
seeing you on mom’s kitchen counter!! Love, great auntie Laurie
So I think the belly has grown since the last time I wore this shirt! It seems like I’ve gotten much bigger just in the last couple of weeks. And we’re officially into the single-digit countdown… 9 weeks left! The due date is coming really fast which seems a little scary at times, but I’m (Read the Rest…)

Oh Steph…that belly is so beautiful!! You guys are in the final countdown…enjoy the quiet house…the empty laundry baskets…and your SLEEP!!!! That little miracle is about to turn your world upside down in ways you can’t even begin to imagine…and it’s all awesome!!!! I had a little dream the other morning inbetween alarms that you and I were having a glass of wine and watching Logan play with about a 9 month old little GIRL on the floor…Hmmmmm…we’ll have to see in about 9 months, huh?? The other parts I all believe to be true…the wine and Logan playing with the baby…hahah!!! We love you and cannot wait to meet the little one…and you have never looked more beautiful in the 12 years I’ve known you!!!
I had a dr. appt. yesterday and everything looks good! The baby is about 2-3 lbs. now and he/she is definately taking up more space. I’m trying to eat smaller meals since its easier to stay comfortable if I don’t stuff myself, but I’m still finding time to sneak in some treats, too :) We’re (Read the Rest…)

I am so thankful for the church comment – Barney is smiling!!! But I still love a picture you know!! Love you, Laurie
So you want another belly picture, huh? I apologize for not writing much lately, but we’ve been busy, out-of-town, too tired, borrowed the camera out- but enough excuses already! Personally I don’t feel the belly has grown much lately, although those who see me have a different opinion. Still feeling pretty good… lately its been (Read the Rest…)

Thanks for the new picture, Steph and Josh! Baby Keck is definitely looking like he/she needs more room to stretch out!(those l-o-o-o-n-g legs!) As Grandma Wanda used to say, “That baby has to go somewhere!” . . . when we would complain about our big bellies! You and that belly look beautiful, Steph! Love, Mom
Just wanted to share a couple of new arrivals this past week! Our good friends, the Rupps, had a baby girl last Thursday- Mollie Marie. And my friend/co-worker, Erin, had a baby girl today – Cienna Reese. Congrats on your beautiful, healthy baby girls! We’re excited to meet them soon!

i second that!!!
We got a lot done on the nursery this weekend and I absolutely love how it turned out! I was a little skeptical as Josh and Mom were painting, but once the tape came down, it was better than I could picture it. Unfortunately some of the crib hardware was missing so we weren’t able (Read the Rest…)

Steph & Josh, I love the final outcome! The nursery looks so warm and inviting. I KNEW snow and icy roads wouldn’t keep Grandma & Grandpa Hall away!! I agree, you both are soooo creative! Looking forward to the weekend at the lake with Baby Keck this year. Steph, I’m sure you and Josh will have lots of free time that weekend. Everyone will be wanting to hold that baby!! You’re looking great, too!! Love ya. Aunt Carol
The snow has been relentless over the past week! Last weekend we got about a foot and the past 2 days we’ve gotten another foot. Here’s a picture after Koda and I dug out the driveway for the 3rd time in 24hours. I’m sure those of you enjoying the weather (and golf) in warmer climates (Read the Rest…)

Dear Steph and Josh,
congatulations!I saw all the pictures of you with the baby!Hope your baby is as sweet as you guys are!Hope to see you guys soon.You guys rock!love,haley
What a beautiful poem from Jessica! I enjoyed reading it too:) We missed you at the lake, and Joe said — the next time you come it will be three of you (and, of course, Koda too). Now that you are ready I hope that you will be surprised with an early delivery. I’m sure that this humid weather is alittle uncomfortable for you. Stay rested and relaxed. We will be patiently waiting for a phone call:) Love you all
