We found out we were pregnant with our first little Hitchcock in October right after Chad's 31st birthday! Our baby boy is due in June 2014. We are so excited and feel incredibly blessed to get this opportunity to raise a child together. June cannot come soon enough!
Blog world, meet our little (but probably not so little) baby boy!
Reveille Marschall Hitchcock
We've gotten quite a few questions about the name. The "Reveille" (which you may or may not know) is the wake up call (google it, you know it). To us it symbolizes a call to wake up and strap up...get ready for battle. Chad and I love this mentality and we want to raise our children to embody it. Reveille, or Reve / Rev, as we'll call him is a physical representation of just how far Chad and I have come in our lives. Both broken beyond recognition at one point and now doing more everyday than just surviving. This child is such a blessing because of what we've been through! Plus what a great football name!
Marschall is a family name. Chad adores his Grandma Pat who helped raise him. We both wanted to name our first child after her in some way. We decided to go with her maiden name, Marschall, as an excellent choice.
As if that isn't news enough ( I mean I'm growing a human for crying out loud!) We decided that 2014 would be the perfect time to move our growing family all the way across the country. On December 28th we packed up our Jeep and the three of us (plus our pups) headed east from California to North Carolina. We chose this area for several reasons. Where we were living in Ventura, CA I wasn't close enough to any major cities to get that sort of business I was looking for. Charlotte, NC was consistently on a list of a great place for an artist to make a living. It also is on many lists (along with it's bedroom communities) of one of the best places in the US to raise a family. Great schools, friendly people, 4 solid seasons, trees galore, close to all the east coast has to offer...need I go on?
Trying to launch in a new place is terrifying. Trying to do it when you're 5 months pregnant is crazy and terrifying. But, nobody ever got anywhere by being timid and not taking chances. Huge leap of faith, but so far we are absolutely loving it. Just trying to get the business rolling now!
If you're in the Charlotte area we would love to meet up with any local designers! If you need any design work don't hesitate to ask!
More in the next post about our current projects! Stay tuned friends!
