A bun in the oven

That's right.  We are adding to our family.  Baby Hansen #2 is due March 5th, 2013.  What a happy surprise this was for our family.  Because of my health problems, we thought that we wouldn't have anymore kids but here we are.  At first I was very worried, but I received a blessing of health for me and the baby.  I also keep hearing the words of my Patriarchal Blessing that I had previously ignored which talk about my "children."  Although I'm worried about how I will handle sleepless nights and postpartum stuff, for now I feel great being pregnant and so will be grateful for that and not worry about things until I have to. 

Isla is so excited to have a sibling.  When I asked her if she wanted a brother or a sister, she said, "both!"  Ha ha!  Ian is also very excited and felt he was being prepared for the news very specifically the week before we found out.  So when we took the test, he felt very at peace. 

We are thinking of names because I love thinking up names.  We won't know for 4 1/2 weeks if we are looking at pink or blue.  Part of me and part of Ian is tempted to be surprised by the sex but we'll see.  So far we have one name for a boy that Ian has picked out which is Dane Christensen.  If it's a girl, we've been thinking of Nora, Hallie or Hazel.  We will see.  For now, it's just happy baby bumpin'!

A note to the milk man

Here's another one from Isla....She's on a roll!  The other day we had a guy come to the door selling real, legit milk man services.  Can you imagine the cuteness?  A real milk man coming to our door once a week.  I just loved the idea.  Well Isla did too and she wanted me to write down a note for the milk man and tape it to the door so he'd see it. 
Here goes...

"When all our milk is gone, give us more milk and we will drink it right up - two jugs ok?  Enjoy the milk making!
The milk man will deliver all the milk to the children.  Those children will love their milk.  See ya later milk man!  Have a good time making all the milk ok?! 
Don't forget to make a jug of milk for yourself ok milk man?
Love,
Isla

Isla's First Story

This story was told by Isla, dictated by Grandma Williams

Special dinosaurs are nuffin but sloppy scales and tails.  And hammerheads have special hammer things that break through the wood. 
Snake dinosaurs have fears and they stick their tongue out. 
And most humans have dinosaurs for pets in their backyards.  They have special long necks to get a drink of water to store in their bodies.  And then their stomping feet have special alavities and to stop through wood like hammerheads. 
T - Rexes have nuffin but sharp teeth and loud roars to call out to the jungle.  And most dinosaurs go in parades.  And little baby dinosaurs have little baby balls to play with.  And most crabs like to eat baby dinosaurs but the daddys keep the crabs away.  And most dinosaurs eat squirrels.  And bull dinosaurs can charge through bad rhinos. 

The End.
