First of all congratulations are in order! June is going to come very quickly, plenty to do before that for sure.
Bike-wise I look forward to seeing where the cargo bike is going. Didn't you make another one with cable-steering since?

Amazing news. Congratulations!
I have bags of unsolicited advice should you ever need some.

3. Utility Bike 2
My heir is in the making as we speak and should hopefully be with us late June. This means I am leaving the country to bring her up somewhere in rural Denmark.
I need to do something to fix up my cargo bike as I am really looking forward to riding around with her...
I have just learned that Schwalbe is now doing a G-One Speed in 406x40c as well as a 650b offering which allows me to lower the bike a bit while also increasing comfort. Geometry is originally build around a 700x32c (D694mm) rear and a 451x28c (D515mm) front. Using G-Ones I can get a 584x40c (672mm) rear tyre and and a 406x40c tyre (D494mm) which means the bike will be 11-12mm lower and a lot more supple. Ideally I'd like a 50mm front tyre, but I also want low rolling resistance...
Here is an old image of how it was build up:
I will redo the dropouts as I can do them a lot neater now and patch up some shitty joints. I might do a cable steering on this as I need to figure that shit out any ways and because I have some new ideas on how to do that and the kickstand also needs revisiting.
Finally I need to decide on a colour for this... Currently I am thinking Ultra Marine blue as I freaking love that colour and it might look good on this...
