FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

When are you due?
September 3

Where will the baby be born?
Boston

Is it a boy or a girl?

He’s a boy!

Where will you be living?
I’ll be Massachusetts-based starting June 23 (between Boston and Cape Cod).

After birth, I plan to spend the first couple of months on the Cape, and we’ll stay in Massachusetts for at least 3 months (until baby gets his early vaccines), possibly a bit longer depending on how we’re doing.

We’ll then head to Puerto Rico sometime before March 1, spend March–June there, and return to Boston for the summer.

Why is your registry a little… different?
Because my life is a little… different 🙂

I’ll be living between Massachusetts and Puerto Rico, so I’m figuring out what’s needed in multiple places and across seasons.

I’ve also been very generously gifted several larger items already, and I’m very open to gently used or hand-me-down items where it makes sense.

What should I wear?
Whatever you want!

I’ll be in a maternity dress… assuming it still fits. TBD.

Is there parking?
Yes!

Please be mindful not to block driveways or park on neighbors’ lawns. If you’re able, leave the closest spots near the house for friends and family who would benefit from a shorter walk.

We’re lucky to have so many of you—thank you for helping make it smooth for everyone.

Anything else we should know?
This is not a traditional baby shower — it’s a celebration.

Partners, kids, and your full selves are all welcome.

So wait… what’s the agenda?

  • Friday, 5:00 PM: Casual together at Frank & Peggy’s house for people traveling from out of town

  • Saturday, 2:00–6:00 PM: Baby Shower at Frank & Peggy’s. Non-traditional — some optional baby games/activities, but really just being with each other. And of course, Maggie’s mechanical bull

  • Saturday, 6:00 PM: Optional music, dancing, and hanging out with people who are coming in from out of town (if we’ve rented the tables and chairs, we might as well keep using them!)

  • Sunday,11:00 AM–4:00 PM: We recognize that many of you have traveled, and if you’re here, we want to see you. If the weather is good, we’ll head to “the beach at the end of the street” at Frank & Peggy’s with sandwiches and light snacks. Rain plan TBD
