Someone should have told you about sadistic doctors that begin telling you 2 to 3 weeks before your due date that the baby is probably going to come sooner that projected. Some do, but very few. We didn't even get any of ours in the MONTH they were expected! After waiting six weeks the dr. then induced labor with all three of ours. They don't let you go that long anymore, thankfully. Just sit back and relax and it will happen. I don't know of a case where, no matter how reluctant the baby is to come out, a baby grew up in utero! We love you, Pap and Granny

He'll come when he's ready! :+} Having both of your personalities... did you expect for him to come when you wanted him to?

I'm so glad you got this past weekend together. You will treasure it forever - I promise. The times Gary and I spent just being together while I was pregnant with the boys holds some of my fondest memories. It's all going to change and, while that may seem a little sad, it will make this time all the more precious. I'm just glad for you that you have had that togetherness in what's left of the just-the-two-of-you world. You're getting ready to meet a part of your family that you didn't even know was so vital. The more history you have to share with him the more memories you're going to have later about telling him how life was pre-Hobson. I love you guys. Deeply.

Hey guys!! I came across your blog through a long line of blogs. Anyhow. Brian and I are due with our first baby (a boy too) in a week!! We are doing the all- natural thing as well. I say stick up for yourself and do it the way YOU want to do it. Don't let anyone pressure you into anything you don't want to do. It is not easy to stick to your guns. (I know because my dr. isn't a big fan of natural childbirth, he wants to induce.) I hope that everything goes very smoothly. I know Hollie is a tough girl and she will be able to handle whatever is put in her way. I hope everything goes wonderful, no medical interventions at all. You can check out my blog at www.bcrossfamily.blogspot.com. I am so excited to find another couple who want's to have a child the way God intended. Chrissy

Amen, Stephen!! You two have that baby the way you want to have him, and don't let anyone telling you differently! I agree with the "need to enjoy this part of the pregnancy." This has been a long awaited time, and don't allow the opinions or negativity of others to bring you two down. Maybe they are just a little jealous that they don't have the "strenghth" that you all do to do this birth the way you've hoped and planned for it to be done. That's just my opinion...for what it's worth. Probably not much more than 2 cents. :+} You two just take care and focus on the most important thing in this world right now, your son!!! We love you both and are thinking about you constantly. We are as excited about him getting here. Stephen, through Hollie's pregnancy, I have really been impressed with how you've handled some of this stuff... :+} As squeemish as you are sometimes, I pictured you being much different heading into all of this!! :+} You know I mean that with all the love in the world. Okay, you two take care, and go do all those naturally things you've been learning about! Get the stables ready! ;+]

Where do you guys worship in Allen? My brother and his wife are there and are driving to Preston Crest to go to church, but I am not sure that they are as active as they would like to be. I was just wondering if your congregation would be a better fit for their family. Hobs is such a cutie! I can see so much of Hollie in him. I hope your move goes smoothly. I will be praying for you guys through it all. Have a great week!

We miss you guys so much. I watched the Amazing Race marathon this week and thought of you the whole time and how much I'd love to have the physical ability (or even just a doctor who'd give me enough medication) to do that with you. It would be so much fun... Love you guys! Oh - and Cordi now calls the baby in our supper club Hobs. Her name is Madison.

Hollie, Erin told me about your website and I just had to check it out. I'm so proud for you and just let me tell you that Hobs is precious. I know your mother is having a ball with him. I guess you know by now but Mia has a baby sister named Graci Jayne. Mia is so quiet and Miss Graci is a pistol!! She is adorable and such a happy little girl. Mia will be 7 in November and Graci turned 1 on June 30. We love both of them so much and enjoy every moment we have with them. I saw Katie not too long ago downtown and she had talked with your mother. Please tell her hi for me and give Hobs a great big hug. We have such wonderful memories of you and Erin and will never forget what good friends the two of you have been. God Bless You and Your Family.

Your website is really a lot of fun to look at. I am a picture freak, so I enjoyed looking at all the pictures, especially the ones of Hobs. He is just a little doll. I'm sure Penn will be also. Talked with Penny tonight and she told me what you were going to name the baby. I like it. Blake's middle name is Ferguson, so there you go.

Hey guys! Just thought I'd stop by to see if there had been birth yet. I'm pretty sure it's April, but can't remember when. I know it's soon. Hey ya'll need to pass along your advice for birthing. I NEVER thought I would be like this, but I am actually looking into a natural birthing center. I'm sure you can imagine how Anthony feels about that. Not sure if I will convince him (or myself) it can be done outside of a hospital/medical center. My fear is the pain. His fear is the lack of control. Anyway, let me/us know if you have any advice, oh experienced ones, for I remember your experience with Hobs. Can't wait to meet Penn- good luck with everything and we'll be thinking of you guys in the upcoming weeks. :)

Nice of you to bail out of the TAKS testing....you couldn't have planned that baby to come at a better time! I got to test in your office and I want you to know I touched all your stuff and rearranged your furniture. I checked out a couple of your books (no light reading for you, huh?) and decided to borrow your book, "Movies and Mental Illness". That is some freaky stuff! Who knew there was a class like that????? I want to take college classes where I get to watch Silence of the Lambs, Psycho, Born on the 4th of July, etc. On a different note, CONGRATULATIONS on being a new daddy again! Tell Hollie I wish her well and congratulations too!

Okay, about like last time I am sitting here balling (crying) after reading that absolutely sweet birth story. I am so happy for you both, and I can't imagine the joy you must feel to have this perfect, not so little addition added to your family. He is adorable, and he does look a lot like Hobson did. I can't wait to see him... and to see Hobson with him. I am sure that is probably one of the most precious images, getting to watch your 1st born give your 2nd born a kiss and hug. You all take care and enjoy each and every precious moment! We miss and love you dearly... and we couldn't be happier for you! Lv, Brett, Amy, and Ayla

Those new pictures you've posted are great. I LOVE the one of the two boys sleeping on the bed together. Hobson looks like he's equally worn out. After all, being a big brother is hard work. I bet Hobson hasn't looked as big to you as he does right now, and then again, I'm sure it seems like yesterday that you were bringing him home. Although I'm sure you are tired, I know you all are lovin' every minute. Penn is precious, and I love all that blonde hair. It looks like he's got a bit more than Hobson did. Take care and keep posting pictures. I want to see more video. That first bath video was great. Keep 'em coming!! :+} We love y'all!

I love his name as I also love Hobbs' name. I know Penny's head swelled just a little bit when you named this little sweetheart, Penn. I am so glad to hear about your life and how wonderful everything is going. All of this could not happen to a more deserving person. You know how we all feel about you and your family. It's sort of like an OLD great aunt looking at these precious pictures. I just wanted to let you know that David and I congratulate you on your latest addition to your family and we know God will continue to bless all of you each and every day. Take care, hug the babies for me, and tell your Mom hi. We love you, Mercer, Mr. David and Ms. Shirley

I completely agree. She cooks just like my mom did. I don't think my mom ever went by a recipe for real. She always put her own twist on every recipe that she used, and my sisters and I still use many of them. Hollie is a great cook and she really enjoys it. I, along with Stephen, really appreciate her talent. She makes a mean cake ball too! She just had a knack for culinary art!!
