Belly Update

Here's baby Hanson part duex at 28 weeks! We visited Dr. Diegan to have one last ultrasound. This time he was checking for heart defects. Baby H got a clean bill of health!! His heart looks strong and healthy! We were thrilled with that news. He is continuing to grow at a normal pace and is estimated to weigh around 2lbs. He is definetly making himself known these days!!! I'm feeling a lot of kicks and jabs. I had forgotten how much fun it is to watch my belly move. In other good news I passed the glucose screening for gestational diabetes!!!! I was really worried because all baby H wants me to eat is brownies, cake, and mashed potatoes. I'm more than happy to give baby what he wants!!
In other news I have started to see a chiropractor for Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction . It's been kinda painful to walk or even sit. I feel so guilty because I can't pick Owen up anymore without it aching!! The visits to the chiropractor seem to be helping right now and Owen likes to go to the office with me to see Thomas the choo choo. So it's a win win for everyone : ) I'm hoping my "dysfunction" goes away once baby H makes his appearance!!
In preparation for baby H we have started decorating the nursery! It's so cute! James did a fantastic job of painting the room yellow and hanging up the cutest green gingham curtains!! He's quite the handy man these days!!! It's all coming together nicely and now we need a few pictures to hang on the wall. Our next big project will be making the closet baby friendly!!

We are all getting excited for Baby H's big arrival. Owen loves to go into the baby room and say "baby bruder room"... it melts my heart every time! Things are really starting to move fast and we are making so much progress getting ready for the little guy. I had so much fun picking out new things for our registry at Babies R Us and Target. There are so many new things since Owen was born! My friend Jen was kind enough to host a joint shower for me and my friend Andrea since our boys are coming so close together and My wonderful neighbors have also offered to throw baby H a shower!!! James and I feel so special to have such wonderful friends!!!
