Hadlee Brooke Hansen!

Well, we had our Doctors appointment today to find out what the sex of the baby was. IT'S A GIRL! We couldn't be happier. We would've loved the baby of course if it were a boy, but we had a feeling the whole time that it was girl. Her name will be Hadlee Brooke Hansen. She is healthy and gaining weight right on schedule. I had a 3D ultrasound and it was so cool to see every little finger and every little toe. I go in for a Fetal Echo-cardiogram in 2 weeks to make sure the baby doesn't have a heart defect like Michael. As of today I am 18 weeks and 1 days, so I have another 4 1/2 months to go. With the holidays coming up, it is going to go by so fast. I went out and finally bought maternity clothes yesterday and wore my first maternity outfit today. It was definitely a mommy outfit but I loved it! That's when it really hit me. I'm going to be a mommy! I'm leaving for Idaho tomorrow but when I get back I'll be posting baby pictures and Idaho pictures! More to come next week.

Our little bundle of joy

So I just got back from another doctors appointment. The doctor said things are absolutely wonderful with the baby!! We heard the heartbeat again. I love hearing it. It's crazy to hear it and know that you're carrying a child and soon this child will be with you. It's the greatest feeling in the world. I LOVE it. We find out on the 26th of this month what we're having! That's only 12 days away! And then we go to Idaho for a week the day after. Fun times ahead! I'll definitely let you know what we're having when we find out.

Jon Schmidt

I'm sure he's been around for a while but sometimes i'm a bit slow when it comes to hearing about people but I just fell in love with this guy! His name is Jon Schmidt. His music is amazing. He is so talented. He'll be here on dec 11th to do a Christmas show. I'm DEFINITELY going! Check out his website http://www.jonschmidt.com/catalog/index.php

Idaho, YOU-da-hoe

FINALLY! Something to look forward besides the baby of course. In 3 weeks, we go up to Idaho for a family reunion, obviously on Michaels side. I was trying to figure out how we could justify spending the money to go right now when we should be saving for the baby. Yay for Christmas presents! Who said you can't have Christmas in August?! It'll be so great to see his family again. The reunion is 2 days and we'll be there for 7 so we'll get to spend some good, quality time with everyone. And I CANNOT wait to see Alice. Alice is Michaels aunt that lives in North Carolina. She is like the older sister I never had. We are ridiculously crazy when we're together and it's so fun. That's all for now!

The beginning of Happily Ever After...

Once Upon a time I made a life changing decision to move to Rexburg, Idaho. Moving there was going to be a new adventure full of excitement and challenges. Along the way a young man stole my heart. We started dating January 21st, were engaged April 11th and married on August 16th. Were coming up on our ONE year anniversary and our expecting our FIRST baby in January. Life is full of so many adventures but with my Best Friend by my side I cant wait to face them.
