New to Oregon and Expecting

My husband and I just moved to Oregon a little over a month ago. We are expecting our first child in September. Anyone else due around this time? I am hoping to find a group of parents with children (preferably ones with children who will be around our daughters age) though not limited to this. I would love to make friends and be able to make play dates for my daughter. I will be a full time mother at first who may and may not go back to work.
We moved here from VA and are transitioning from military life to civilian life. I am looking to find and make some new friends and build a new support network. I am also looking for some suggestions about things to do here. I have found some things I can do like the zoo and what not. Hiking will have to wait 
completely bummed over this. What are some great fun family things to do especially with an infant? I am also looking for fun family things we can do not only with our infant but our dog as well. Suggestions for one or both scenarios would be great. We live just inside Beaverton and just outside of Hillsboro. I don't' know enough about OR to know what district or section or OR we are considered in. My husband works in Hillsboro and I think we would like to try to stay close to where he works. Though next year we are looking to hopefully buy and are also wondering what some great areas to live in are, with good schools. We aren't entirely sure if we will be sending our child to public school or if we will be homeschooling. Any homeschooling moms that could give some insight on how homeschooling works here and what your opinions are etc would be appreciated.

Re: New to Oregon and Expecting
Welcome to PDX! A great way to get hooked up with other new Moms is to attend some of the New Mom Groups in the area. There are many to choose from and some groups get very specific. I have been using PDX Kids Calendar or Metro Parent to find out about get togethers.
