Even Super Heros Have Off Days

Livvy loves wearing a towel around her neck and pretending she's a super hero.  If the sewing machine and I were better friends I would make her a cape to wear...but our relationship is a bit strained right now.  So a towel will have to do for now.  Maybe I should use a smaller one next time to avoid catastrophes like this.  How can she save the world if she can't even make it out the door???

Happy Father's Day

I feel so lucky that my kids have such a wonderful dad.  I knew Matt was a great guy when I married him but I had no idea what an incredible father he would be.  Which truly makes him the complete package!  He is so involved with raising our kids.  Changing diapers, reading stories, playing horsey, playing tea party, wiping dirty hands and faces, burping babies, feeding babies, rocking babies to sleep, taming screaming 3 year olds, calming nightmares...just to name a few.  He does it all!  We sure love having him around.  He definitely makes life better!  Thanks for being such a great dad Matt.  Happy Father's Day!

Umm...so if you notice there is only pictures of Matt and Livvy...yeah that's because we aren't use to the idea of being parents of TWO kids and completely forgot to include Wyatt in the photos.  Haha!  Didn't even occur to us until a few days later.  Sorry Wyatt.  You'll be in next years pictures, I promise!

My Beautiful Baby Boy

Wyatt is 2 weeks old!  I know 2 weeks doesn't sound like a very long time but it is going by super fast for me.  Much faster than it did with Livvy.  I wanted to make sure I took some newborn pictures of him before any more time went by.

Wyatt Race Hansen is here!

Our little Wyatt is finally here!

I could not have asked for a better delivery.  We went in Sunday morning at 9am.  They started me on the pitocin around 11am.  It was slow goin' at first, taking me about 8 hours to dilate to just a 5.  Around 8:30pm I felt my epidural start to wear off, but the nurses were quick to get the anesthesiologist to hit me up with another dose.  It kicked in just in time.  I pushed for about 5 minutes, through 3 contractions, and our little Wyatt was here!

Livvy was excited to meet him and very gentle with him.  While she was holding him she kept saying, "Aww look at his tiny little nose and his tiny little hands".  Pretty cute.

My mom was a life saver during this transition!  She came to help out while we were in the hospital and the first few days we were home.  On the second day we were home Matt and I were talking about how having 2 kids wasn't as hard as we thought it was going to be...until we realized my mom was the one cooking, cleaning, getting up with Livvy in the morning, going grocery shopping, etc.  Haha!  Yeah it was a huge reality check when my mom left a few days later.  I can't thank my mom enough for helping us out so much.

We are so happy to have him here!  He is a great baby.  Eats well, sleeps well...for a 1 week old.  Livvy loves having him around.  I'm hoping this will all last...
