Wow, six years ago I remember being pregnant with Hannah. She wouldn't let us know what she was, she kept hiding behind my bladder being very modest! I had a feeling it was a girl and therefore made a whole crib set for a girl, a little dress, and shopped for a girl! I couldn't think of any boy names and so it had to be a girl! I was way to emotional for it to be a boy anyways! I spent the first five months of my pregnancy at my parents home while Jeff was in Texas at Basic Training and then in Mississippi for his tech school training. Thanks again Mom and Dad for putting up with an emotional pregnant woman!
After his training we moved to Oklahoma City for his first base. I was blessed to find a wonderful OB! By the end of my pregnancy I was done, just plain done! Any who has been pregnant knows exactly what I mean! I'd been having contractions throughout most of my pregnancy and was on medication to try and stop them but it didn't work.. So about two weeks early we decided it was time for our little mystery to make an entrance into our little world. So we packed Ian up and went to the hospital. On our way there we stopped at McDonald's to get Ian a happy meal. We told them we needed a boy's toy for the meal. But when do they ever listen?! When we opened up the toy, we were surprised to see a small doll inside with the name of Hannah. That is the name we had picked out if our little surprise turned out to be a girl. I told Jeff, "See even McDonald's knows what we are having!" She was born very quickly and had to be taken to the NICU for wet lungs. She came out so fast that she didn't have the time to squeeze all the fluid out of her lungs. I held her for about 2 minutes before they rushed her off. She stayed in the NICU for 5 days before finally coming off the oxygen and getting the okay to come home. But ever since then she's had our hearts!
Hannah is a very quiet, sweet natured little girl! She loves animals and babies! She loves being loved. She's such a huge help to me and knows just how to calm me down when I'm frustrated. She also knows just how to get all the little boys at school to do just what she wants them too. I know I'm in trouble when she finally gets to age where she can date! But what comforts me is that she has such a desire to do what's right and know that mom and dad are proud of her. Don't get me wrong though, she does have her moments and can pull an attitude like the best of them! She certainly knows how to wrestle and is not scared to pick up a bug for mom or her brothers for that matter!
We're so blessed to have her as our daughter. We love you Hannah! Happy Birthday!!
For Hannah's Birthday this year we decided to have her party at the Lego Store! I knew she'd be inviting more boys then girls to her party so thought having a Princess Party might not go over to well with her friends. :) And boy was I right! They loved it! I think we'll be going to a few parties there in the coming months!
Yeah CupCakes!! With the kind of frosting that dyes anything it touches!
Guessing how many Legos are in the cup!
The finished product! A doggie house complete with a dog to put inside!!
Trying very hard to pay attention and build!
Too many distractions for Rowan to sit still! Thank Heavens a few friends were willing to help me follow him around and make sure he didn't get into any trouble!!
