So we still do not have a new baby. Allison has been way more anxious to just have the baby this pregnancy, and we are totally ready for him to get here! Two weeks ago we found out he was breech and we were going to have to do an external version (where the doctor attempts to turn the baby to the correct, head-down position). Thankfully, after doing all the things at home we could (including playing Bach on our headphones on Allison's belly every night), he flipped on his own! Now we are just waiting and waiting for him to decide to come out. In the meantime, Benjamin and Allison have been hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Hansen's a ton (because their home is near the hospital and Alan's work), and Benjamin is totally loving it! At home he always says "Bye!" to Allison and says he's going to Grandpa's. Anyway, hopefully this baby will come really soon!
The other good news we have is that Alan started a new job! He is now working for Texas Roadhouse and is very excited about it. Currently he is enduring training, but the new store he'll be at permanently will open near our home in July. We are excited for that because right now it's almost a 2 hour daily commute for him to the training store! We are so grateful for this new job opportunity for him! The Lord has truly blessed him and our family in so many ways.
We want to welcome Parley Trent Hansen, who joined our family April 19, 2009, at 9:24 PM. Parley weighed in at 9 lbs and 22 inches. Allison did a great job and accomplished her goal of having a VBAC.
Benjamin was happy to welcome his new brother into the family as well. We are happy that everyone is healthy and happy. We just got home and are glad to be together as a family.
