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'!
