Baby Lily

She will be her tomorrow some time. I am 1 week over due so they are going to induce me tomorrow. Not really something I wanted to do, I really wanted her to come on her own, but it looks like this is the only way we will get to meet her. I am pretty nervous and I am totally grateful for all the support I have received from my family and friends. I have to send out a special thanks to Tim. He has does so much to help me thought the past 9 months and he has never once complained. I couldn't ask for a more understanding partner. I think the moment I am looking forward to the most is when Tim gets to hold his child for the first time. I know this is something that we have created together but in some way I feel like it is a gift that I am giving him. He has wanted to be a father for a while now and I know he is going to be great.

Thank you everyone
I love you Tim

As the Belly Gets Bigger

I think I am about 25 Weeks in this picture, I was dressed up to go out to dinner for Fathers Day with Tim.








Please don't mind the lovely beauty marks on my bare belly : )


As you can see Bristol likes to spend a lot of time with Baby Lily. These are my favorite belly pictures.

Belly Picture at 23 Weeks

The Love Hate Relationship I have with my Baby Belly!

I love the belly when the baby moves.
I hate the belly when I have to tie my shoes.


I know it is kind of lame but that is all I could come up with maybe there will be more later. I have to post a pic of my belly soon I feel like it is really starting to show. I was sitting at the CVS waiting to pick up some meds when the lady next to me asked my how far along I was... So now I feel like people know I am p/g and not just a big eater haha.

We have picked out our crib.

We hope to have it by the end of May. We are really looking forward to getting started on the nursery.

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.

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.

We have a Strong Heartbeat

Things went great at the doctors yesterday. Paula is in town this week so she also got to come to the appointment with Tim and I and hear the babies heartbeat. It was really strong and fast. I wish we could have listened longer haha. We will be going back in about 4 weeks.

Going to the Doctors Today

Tim and I have a doctors appointment today. We should be able to hear the babies heart beat for the first time. This is a big deal for Tim and I.... I wish I could go now but our appointment isn't until 4 pm. Wish us luck.

12 Weeks Today

I am really happy to be 12 weeks along today. That means for the most part I am out of the clear of having another miscarriage. Also it is the last week of the first trimester and everyone tells me that it will get easier from this point on. Tim and I have a doctors appointment nest week and we should be able to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Tim and I have been doing a lot of talking and I think that we have deiced to find out that the sex of the baby will be. We still have about 2 months before that happens. Time seems to be going by really fast, I feel like I just found out I was pg a week ago but it has been 2 months.

Baby Hanson's First Picture

Tim and I went to the doctors yesterday and we got to see the baby for the first time. We saw the heart beat and everything. I know in the picture it doesn't look like much but that is our baby.

Morning Sickness Has Set In

Ok so I am new to this whole prego thing... but really I feel like I could puke at any moment. How long is this going to last???? I have been way tired and I am sure if you ask Tim he will tell you I have been a bit moody haha I think that is an understatement. I have also been having a lot of heartburn. Other then that things are going well.

Big News

That's right Tim and I are expecting. We are really excited, we found out last week. We talked about keeping the news to our self's because of the miscarriage we had back in October but we are just so excited we couldn't wait to share the news. I am around 5 weeks or so... still really early. Our baby will be due the end of September. Please keeps us in your thoughts.
