A new addition

We are going to have a new addition to our family in May!!! We are so excited to have another little one around. Most of all we are excited that Owen will have a brother!!! Yep! Another boy! It's true that Hanson's don't have girls!!! We confirmed it today during our third ultrasound. There was no doubt about it Baby Hanson part deux is a healthy 18wk baby boy/fetus.

This is baby Hanson's first photo-op!! He's 8 weeks old here!! He has no idea what the mamarazzi has in store for him once May rolls around. Hope he likes having his picture taken!

A new addition is going to bring many changes to our little family. James and I will almost be out numbered!! Even with all of the challenges that 2 children will bring we are thrilled to go through the good, the bad and the ugly through each stage!! A toddler and an infant!!! Are we crazy!? Just Maybe!

This is baby Hanson part Deux at 13 weeks! We found during this ultrasound that he indeed was a boy!

During our ultrasounds the doctor has been checking for the usual problems that can occur during pregnancy. Baby H has gotten a clean bill of health. During this pregnancy we learned that Owen had what's called a Velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord. (Don't open the link if you are squeamish.... They show a real example at the bottom of the page) This is what led to an emergency C-Section. The doctor said that it was a rare condition and most likely wouldn't happen again but, they would be able to see it in an ultrasound. The doctor checked today and it appears that Baby H is in the clear. His umbilical cord is perfectly normal!! What a relief!!!! So we are counting our blessing for our healthy baby boy!! This is baby H with his arm bent touching his neck! He's 18 weeks in this picture!! Side profile 18 weeks along and we are almost halfway there!!! This pregnancy has flown by!!!!
