Hanchett baby on the way!

We can't wait to welcome our little girl, Audrey Elise! She was NOT shy in the ultrasound and there is no doubt that she is a girl! Lyle and I are SO thrilled to start our family with a girl and can't wait for May to be here.

We are starting to take guesses on when she will be here...
Her due "period" (they wouldn't give us a date) is May 8th-May 13th. Lyle was early and all of my mom's kids were late.

We couldn't wait to tell all when we found out and then got caught up in the Christmas family time so I apologize to all those that I drove crazy making them wait.

Now the fun comes! I get to start shopping for a little girl and decorating the nursery!

I'm getting bigger everyday it feels! I still can't believe that I have a sweet baby in me but my expanding waist tells me differently. I love how Lyle tells everyone proudly that he is going to be a daddy and then pats my stomach lovingly. He just can't wait and she will have him wrapped around her finger in no time!

So far, she has been stubborn...she loves her space and has no problem pinching my nerves and kicking out ribs. I guess she is just getting us ready for her when she's here and up in the middle of the night because she always manages to do all this in the middle of the night. So Lyle typically gets up to get me tylenol or rub my back or even help me out of bed (since a pinched nerve in the hip does not allow too much easy movement). He really has been so sweet (He's even been experiencing sympathy pains)! She's even been more active since the ultrasound and had no problem doing flips during Sunday School. She really takes after her father already! :)

We can't wait to meet her!
