Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone. Hope you all are enjoying your Thanksgiving with family and friends. I am awaiting a few visitors! My mom, dad and two aunts should be here any minute! I can't wait :) My parents haven't seen me since August and boy do I look different! I am 23 weeks today and growing right along. Steve and I have an ultrasound tomorrow. It's a follow up from the first one because they couldn't get a good look at her brain. In my 3D US everything looked great, but because that was for a study it doesn't go in my medical records. So tomorrow is just a great excuse to see her again :) And my family gets to join! Here's a new picture of the baby bump! I'll be 6 months next week if you can believe it!! Have a great holiday :)

21 Weeks!

Well baby girl Hanson is definitely going to be a dancer. During our ultrasound today the tech kept saying, "Does she usually move around this much??" And Steve felt her move for the first time tonight....very cool :) They didn't get me a CD of the 3D pictures so I had to take pictures of the ones they gave me. So in short they aren't the best of quality. But if you run into me just ask to see my baby and I'll pull out the slide show!!

The US tech said everything looked really really good. Brain and heart have developed well and her little nose is sort of looking like mine! She is 14 ounces, so almost a pound and is measuring right on schedule. Hope you enjoy the pictures! I'll have another US in two weeks so I'll be posting more pictures then!

She's already singing!

Thumbs up!

Doctor says she is still head down. Probably explains why I've had such trouble getting around lately. My doctor is recommending a pregnancy belt...but we'll see!!

We're Half Way

Hi All. It's been a while since I posted last but no new information to really pass along. Baby is growing fast it seems and I'm getting bigger every day. Shes about 10 1/2 ounces right now and is about the length of banana believe it or not! She's been kicking away like crazy. Sometimes she gives me a good 8-count :) We'll have to see if she's interested in dance when she's older!


If you didn't notice I changed the look of my blog. Hope you like it. Next Thursday I get to see her again! For those of you don't know, I am involved in a study at Sanford Hospital here in Sioux Falls. The study looks at how the baby develops and is also focusing on SIDS and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Basically I get free 3-D ultrasounds and get to hear and see the baby a lot more! So I'm all for it :) So next week I get my first 3-D ultrasound (Thursday). Look for more pictures then. In the meantime, enjoy this new belly picture of me. I am really pregnant - can you believe it? :)
