Last Day Pregnant!

Okay, so can I just scream from the mountaintop. I'm so glad to be done, well in about 18 hours. This pregnancy has been hard for me and everyone around me. I'll be glad when I can see our little girl and know she is healthy, hopefully. We know she's going to be a big one, which is shocking since I'm 2 weeks early. She is coming in at 42 cm in length( which means about 21-22 inches) and they think somewhere between 8 1/2 - 9#. It's good that she's coming early, although Eric and I think they might have the date wrong.

We hope she will stay out of the NICU, which she has a good chance since she's coming in so big, and that recovery will be without any hitches for me. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We are so excited to be adding and according to Eric, ending our family. We have been looking forward to this day and scared of it for awhile now. We thank you to all those who have helped us physically and spriritually with the prayers. We greatly appreciate it. Take care and we'll update next with baby news!

Ultrasound of Baby Girl Hansen

This is our lovely little girl. She is quite the mover and shaker. She is already giving me heartbreak. We had some trouble and worry with her due to she is really laying low in my tummy, but as of today she is doing good. The doctor isn't worried anymore and says she's growing good and active.

We still don't have a definite day for the C-section because the hospital has strict rules about how many days before the due date you can go in. We thought we would be able to go on the 3rd of June, but the hospital says no. The earliest they say is the 6th but that is a weekend so it will be either the 8th or 10th of June. We are hoping for the 8th so I can be home on the 12th of June and not in the hospital. The 8th would be fun because that's when I was due with Christian, but he was born on the 12th. So keep your fingers crossed that we get the 8th so we can be home on the 12th. We're excited to finally have a summer baby again. It's been a long time since we had one and I just love being outdoors with the babies.

The countdown has begun!

We have finally found out the exact date of the ultrasound. It actually turned out to be later than we were hoping for, due to the office being closed. We now will know what the baby is on January 22nd. I'm so excited, but it's no fun having to wait a week longer than I wanted to. Oh well, what are you going to do. It will be nice to know so I can stop calling the baby he and finally know if it's a he or she. I confuse my poor kiddies with referring to the baby as a he. They think that is what the baby is. I just always think he until I know for sure. Eric and most of the kids think it's a boy, but my little Laney is determined the baby is a girl. It should be interesting to see if we end up with more boys or more girls. Wish us luck that the baby is healthy and strong!
