Well... we have a Mother's Day post for the Mums, but unfortunately, I don't remember to bring things with me when we leave our house. So... in the meantime... here is what we think Hank will be like from the indications she's given. We were pretty much right on with our predictions for Clark... down to his favorite color being green!!
Hanners is a spunky little thing. Fiesty and particular about posture and diet. She's a lacto-ovo-vegetarian who could really do without the ovo part. She's very health concious and doesn't want anything near her (or Mom's!) body that could be anything less than good for it. - Especially sugar or white flour! Banish the thought!
She loves browns and neutrals just like her mommy, but she loves some pinks and greens. - And she likes yellows. One can't appropriately be called Hannah-Banana without dressing in some yellow.
She is a VERY good baby! She turned and put her head and bum right where they should be well before she needed too, and she goes out of her way to make sure I know EXACTLY where she is at all times! I won't have to worry about where she's going or who she is with when she is older. I'm sure I'll be very informed. And she will never want to go anywhere I don't want her to go. She's very sweet about limiting her time on the bladder or in my ribs. She'll be the one coloring on the walls though. She is extremely artistic. You should (NOT!!) see what she's done with her womb! Daddy has told her he appreciates how beautifully she draws, but there are better places to do it than on Mommy's belly.
She wants to fit in with Nana and Ant Bee and keeps asking me to make sure she has pink chuckies as soon as she is born. She'll poke her little foot out and wait very patiently for me to size it. She's just an itty bitty little thing (about 6 lbs!) right now though, so I haven't been able to find any for her. Besides! Babies in shoes HURT! I'm thinking of putting her brother back in robeeze just to save my own little toes!
I've seen her suck her thumb on ultrasound and highly suspect she loses it and wiggles around asking "thumb... has anyone seen a thumb?" It frustrates her greatly. She wishes she could be born and nurse.
And finally, she is a Newt.
Well, that's Hank in a nutshell. I can't wait until this nutshell can give birth and see her beautiful little face!
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen. I keep losing myself just staring at her. She's perfect. A little high maintenence, but hey :) she's a girl - what do you expect?
I can't imagine how women give birth without Ian. He is a rock. Awfully nice of him not to shout "quit screaming in my ear woman!" while I was hanging on him, screaming and digging my nails into him. Lovely husband, that one! Man I wish my wedding ring would fit back on my finger!
And Clark. What a little gentleman to be so kind to this little attention hog! He loves her to death, turns her into a Newt several times a day, asks to "Hote? (hold it.)" every time she's awake. He's nice about just rolling with it when she gets over cranky and while he is very fascinated by the fact that there ARE still binkies in the house(!!), he has been very good about not having one... even though I know it's a struggle for him.
