Boy or Girl??

As everyone may know... I am not a professional when it comes to blogging... and I can't figure out how to rotate this picture... but I am sure you can figure out what it means.

Baby Hanson will be joining our family sometime in January! And next month we will find out whether it will be a boy or a girl. You are welcome to start making guesses. Considering both of our families are boy dominant families I think it will be a boy... but we shall see! I can't even explain how excited we are! It seems so unreal at times. I feel so calm about everything one moment and the next moment it feels so surreal... so many emotions! I haven't had any real symptoms. I feel bad for those who have bad morning sickness... but what I had was anxiety! I thought there must be something wrong with me. I was nervous to tell anyone because I thought there must be something wrong since everything was going so smoothly. After 12 long weeks we finally heard the little heartbeat and the little kicks and at that point I calmed down and finally believed everything was okay. Now I am safely out of the 1st trimester and ready for the next fun milestone of finding out the gender.

Adding on to the excitement we just moved into a bigger apartment and I guess now it is no secret why! We have a nice 2 bedroom apartment and we are so grateful we found it. I love having a pantry and extra space! We had some great help too making it easy on me. My dad and brothers came and did all the manly work and had all the stuff moved in nothing flat! Then my mom and grandma brought their master cleaning skills and we have both apartments sparkling! I couldn't have done it without them. I will admit pregnancy has made me pretty tired and just the thought of doing all that made me want to take a long nap. And with all of the expert help we had it didn't seem too bad. Thank you everyone!!

Our 1 year anniversary is this Sunday and I am still in awe at the kindness and generosity of our loved ones and neighbors. Everyone was so kind to help and I look back on that special day with just awe. It was the best day ever! Now here we are 1 year later and Dustin has me wrapped around his finger. :) I sincerely love him with all my heart and it has been the best year I could have imagined. Everyone told me when we got married about how our love for each other would grow over the years and that still sounds great to me! Dustin is perfect for me and treats me so sweetly that I honestly couldn't ask for anything more. **Happy Anniversary Dustin!!** I am excited for our new little one to join us and for us to learn even more together as we start our family.

We love you all. :) Have a wonderful weekend!!
