Is it going to be a Hamburger or a Hotdog?

Well in a short few weeks Tim and I will be finding out if we are having a boy or a girl so I thought it would be fun to do a pole and see what everyone thinks we are having. So leave me a comment... Team Blue or Team Pink.

More Pictures of Alyssa

Welcome Baby Alyssa

Well after many long hours of hard labor my sister Danielle gave birth to a perfect baby girl. She was born at 2:46 am on April 18th. She weighed 8 pounds 7 oz. For those of you who know Danielle you may be wondering how such a small person gave birth to such a big baby. Well let me tell you it wasn't easy. Danielle had a very long and hard labor but she did wonderful. I am so proud and amazed by her. I am also grateful that I was able to be there for her. I have to say Chris her fiance, did a wonderful job as well. Thanks to all of Chris's family for being there. I know that really means a lot to Danielle. Here are lots of pictures Danielle and baby Alyssa.


Here is Danielle getting ready... she was in a really good mood.

Mom and Dad to be!

She tried to keep a smile on her face the whole time.

Here she is!!!!

What a big baby, how did that happen?

Alyssa and Nikki will be sharing shoes soon.

The net as been kind of slow today but I will put up more pictures later. If anyone would like to send a card or anything to Danielle please let me know and I will be glad to give you her address.

I love you Both....

Taking a Trip to Az

I will be getting up early tomorrow to catch a flight to Tucson, AZ. My sister Danielle is going to be induced tomorrow at 8:00 am. My flight should arrive in Tucson around 9:40 am and I think the airport is only 10 minutes away from the hospital. So I am hoping to get there before any of the action starts haha. I know Danielle is really excited and nervous at the same time, but I think she is going to do great. I am a bit nervous myself, I hope I don't get in there and start thinking OH God what have I done... but I guess there is nothing that can you more ready for child birth then a practice run. Danielle just started her own blog last week, I have a link on my blog, so if you could please stop by her blog and give her some words of encouragement. I will be sure to post some pictures of the baby when I get back.

Best of Luck to you Danielle I love you.

Things are Changing

Well, things are changing at the Hanson house. My sister-in-law will be moving this weekend. She found a really nice newly remodeled apartment for her and Pearl. Well will have a busy weekend helping her move and getting her settled in. I know she is really looking forward to having her own place. Also my father-in-law Rob will be up to help with the move. It will be nice to see him. I think that last time we saw him was last May at Shannon's graduation. I know Tim misses his dad and really looks forward to seeing him. So everyone please wish Shannon good luck in her new apartment. I will have to see if she will be up for having a house warming party, maybe some time in May.

Also Tim is going to start painting some of the rooms in our house. We plan to start transforming the office into baby Hanson's bedroom. I am still not sure what colors I want to do in there. I think we are going to try and paint the guess bedroom, guess bathroom and the soon to be nursery. Tim makes it sound so easy but to me it seems like a big task. haha But Tim is really good at fixing things around the house, painting and hanging pictures. That is one of the things I love about him.

Guess Bedroom
I am thinking about doing a slat blue in the guess bedroom, it has white carpet...which if I ever pick out carpet for a house I will never have white again. What a pain. I will see if I can find some pictures to put up like Erin did of the colors I like. I will have to accent with white but what other color should I accent with. I don't want to much white in there b/c I don't want people who stay in there to feel uncomfortable. You know what I mean.

Guess Bathroom
I would like to do a coco/rich sand color ( I am making up the color names haha) on the walls and maybe accent with a rust color, here again any ideals will be great.

Nursery
If we go ahead and paint the walls a tan color we can go back and do a boarder of pale lavender for a girl or a soft ocean blue/green for a boy. Maybe get dark wood for the crib. Thses are just some of the ideas I have. I would love to hear every one's ideas.

Thanks

P.S. For some of you who haven't seen me in a while my belly is starting to stick out... I feel like it is way noticeable but I am sure most people just think I have been eating to much haha which could be part of it lol. Oh I also think that I am starting to fell the baby move which is really crazy. I am not 100% sure that is what it is but there is something going on in there.
