00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:03.919
Have you ever noticed how life has a way of

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.440
giving you gifts when you least expect them. One minute,

3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:12.039
you're planning a birthday celebration, thinking about candles, cake and

4
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.480
family memories. The next minute, you're sitting there trying to

5
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.000
process life changing news that makes your heart feel like

6
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.800
it might burst right out of your chest. As a

7
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.280
parent and now grandparents, we've learned that every season of

8
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:30.199
life comes with its own special kind of magic. Sometimes

9
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.399
that magic looks like a toddler taking their first steps.

10
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.320
Sometimes it looks like a teenager graduating. Sometimes it looks

11
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.320
like watching your children build lives of their own, And

12
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.880
sometimes it looks like finding out another precious baby is

13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.320
joining the family. Today we're celebrating Morgan's upcoming birthday on

14
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.960
June seventeenth. We're talking about family, We're talking about memories.

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.240
We're talking about the exciting news that Morgan and her

16
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.719
family are expecting a baby girl do October twenty second,

17
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.799
and we're talking about what it means to watch your

18
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.359
family tree continue to grow. This is a story about love,

19
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.079
family and one of the greatest blessings life can give.

20
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.439
Welcome back to we are the Hansens. I'm Maya, and

21
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.439
as always, I am so grateful you're spending part of

22
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.920
your day with us. If you're new here, we're a

23
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:25.480
family podcast where we share stories from our lives, practical tips, recipes, adventures,

24
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.239
parenting moments, grandparenting moments, and everything in between. And today

25
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.400
is one of those episodes that feels extra special because

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.439
we're celebrating someone we love dearly. Morgan's birthday is coming

27
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.719
up on June seventeenth. Birthdays have always been meaningful in

28
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.439
our family. When you have a large family like ours,

29
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.640
birthdays become more than just a date on a calendar.

30
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:54.480
There's a chance to pause, to reflect, to remember, to

31
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.040
celebrate who that person is and what they mean to

32
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.200
the people around them. Every bird they tells a story,

33
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.120
it's another chapter, another year of memories, another year of growth.

34
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.039
And when I think about Morgan, I think about all

35
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.120
the chapters that have brought us to this moment. I

36
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.159
think about the little girl she once was. I think

37
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.000
about all the milestones she's reached. I think about how

38
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.840
proud we are of the woman she has become. And

39
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.400
now we're preparing for one of the biggest chapters of

40
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.759
all motherhood. One of the strange things about being a

41
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.919
parent is that, no matter how old your child gets,

42
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.599
part of your heart always remembers them as little. You

43
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:42.000
remember the tiny hands, the bedtime stories, the scraped knees,

44
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.639
the first day of school, the laughter, the tears, the

45
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.000
moments that seemed ordinary at the time but somehow became

46
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.039
treasured memories later. You don't realize when you're living those

47
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.159
moments just how valuable they'll become. You think there will

48
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.719
always be another bedtime story, another trip to the park,

49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.719
another afternoon spent watching cartoons together. Then one day you

50
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.360
blink and years have passed. The little child who once

51
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.199
needed help tying their shoes is now building a life

52
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.000
of her own. That's one of the beautiful and bitter

53
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:18.560
sweet parts of parenting. You spend years teaching your children

54
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.759
how to grow, then one day you stand back and

55
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.759
watch them do exactly that. Morgan has reached so many

56
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:31.039
wonderful milestones, and now, as her own birthday approaches, we

57
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.120
find ourselves celebrating not only who she is today, but

58
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.800
also the incredible future that's ahead of her. Some news

59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.400
changes your day, some news changes your week, and some

60
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.840
news changes your entire perspective. Finding out that Morgan was

61
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:51.800
expecting was one of those moments. I still remember the excitement,

62
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:57.199
the smiles, the emotions, the immediate flood of thoughts. A baby,

63
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.680
a new little life, a new member of the family,

64
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.479
a new personality will get to know, a new set

65
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.400
of tiny footprints that will soon be running through family gatherings.

66
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.080
There's something incredibly special about a baby announcement. For a

67
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.399
few moments, everyone forgets about the stress of everyday life.

68
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.920
Bills don't matter, laundry doesn't matter, work doesn't matter. The

69
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.399
only thing that matters is the miracle that's growing. And

70
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.879
then came another exciting piece of news. It's a girl,

71
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:34.480
a precious baby girl. Suddenly we weren't just imagining a baby,

72
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.439
we were imagining her. We started picturing little dresses, tiny bows,

73
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:45.600
sweet giggles, birthday parties, Christmas mornings, family traditions, and all

74
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.319
the moments still waiting to be written. October twenty second,

75
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.759
that's the date we're all looking forward to. Of course,

76
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.319
babies have their own schedule. Every parent knows that babies

77
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.199
rarely arrive exactly when they're expecting. They show up when

78
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.120
they're ready. But October twenty second has become a special

79
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.519
date in our minds. It's the day circled on the calendar,

80
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.519
the day everyone keeps mentioning, the day that feels close

81
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.399
enough to get excited about and far enough away to

82
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.519
build anticipation. It's amazing how one date can suddenly carry

83
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.439
so much meaning. Every month brings us closer, Every week

84
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.079
feels important, every update feels exciting, and before we know it,

85
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.839
October will be here. One of life's greatest blessings is

86
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.920
becoming a grandparent. There's really nothing quite like it. People

87
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.079
try to explain it. They tell you how wonderful it is,

88
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.079
They tell you how much you'll love your grandchildren, But

89
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.199
until you experience it yourself, it's hard to fully understand.

90
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.000
Grandchildren have a way of capturing your heart instantly. They

91
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.680
bring joy, laughter, energy, wonder They remind you to slow

92
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:02.720
down and appreciate life, life's simple moments. They remind you

93
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:06.680
how precious family truly is. And now we're preparing to

94
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.199
welcome another little granddaughter into our family, another precious little

95
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.759
girl who will have her own personality, her own dreams,

96
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.000
her own laugh, her own story, and the thought of

97
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.519
that fills our hearts with gratitude. One thing we've always

98
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.319
loved about having a big family is watching it grow.

99
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:34.839
Families are living things. They're always changing, always evolving, always expanding.

100
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:41.519
New relationships begin, babies arrive, new traditions are created, and

101
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.480
before you know it, family gatherings look different than they

102
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.959
just did a few years earlier. More chairs around the table,

103
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.319
more voices in the living room, more hugs, more laughter,

104
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.480
more love. That's one of the most beautiful things about family.

105
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.600
Love doesn't divide, it multiplies. Every new family member adds

106
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.199
something special. And this little girl already has a peace

107
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.160
in our hearts even before she's born, even before we've

108
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.319
seen her face, even before we've held her in our arms.

109
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:22.839
She's already loved, she's already celebrated, and she's already part

110
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:27.120
of the family story. As Morgan's birthday approaches, we're filled

111
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:31.920
with excitement. Excitement for her, excitement for the baby, excitement

112
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.480
for the future. There are so many memories waiting to

113
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.920
be made. First smiles, first words, first steps, birthday parties,

114
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:48.759
family vacations, holiday traditions, moments we can't even imagine yet.

115
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.000
And that's the beauty of life. No matter how much

116
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.720
we've experienced, there are always new adventures waiting around the corner.

117
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.839
There are always new reasons to celebrate, There are always

118
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.240
new blessings arriving when we least expect them. And right

119
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.360
now we're celebrating one of the biggest blessings of all.

120
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.199
A growing family, a baby girl on the way, a

121
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:17.040
birthday that reminds us just how precious every year truly is.

122
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.040
Let me take you back for a moment. Morgan was

123
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.680
the kind of child who lit up every room she

124
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.319
walked into. She had this infectious giggle that could turn

125
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.120
a bad day around in seconds. I remember one particular

126
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.799
summer afternoon when she must have been about four years old.

127
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.159
We were at the park and she decided she was

128
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.759
going to catch butterflies for the whole family. She ran

129
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.080
around with her little jar, talking to each butterfly like

130
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.399
they were old friends. Come home with us, miss butterfly,

131
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.080
she'd say so sweetly. Of course, none of them stayed

132
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.120
in the jar, but the joy on her face was everything.

133
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.720
Those early years were filled with dancing, twirling around in

134
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:02.320
the living room, singing, being in school plays she sold

135
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:05.879
the show as whatever she was in a play, and

136
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.240
endless bedtime stories about princesses who grew up to be strong,

137
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.360
kind women. She was always the one organizing tea parties

138
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.039
for her siblings and cousins and dad, making sure everyone

139
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.679
had a napkin and a pretend cookie. Even then, she

140
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.320
had this natural nourishing spirit. As she moved into her

141
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.399
teenage years, Morgan showed us her resilience. High school brought challenges,

142
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.320
friend drama, tough classes figuring out who she wanted to be,

143
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.440
but she faced them with grace. She was involved in

144
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:42.799
community service, helping at the local food drives and mentoring

145
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:47.000
younger kids. Watching her step into leadership roles made us

146
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.279
so proud. She wasn't just growing up, she was becoming

147
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.879
someone who cared deeply about others. That same heart is

148
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.159
now preparing to welcome her own daughter. I often tell

149
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.679
her that that little girl who chased butterflies still there,

150
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.080
and now she's going to pass that wonder onto her

151
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.519
baby girl. It's a full circle moment that brings tears

152
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.039
to my eyes every time I think about it. Fast

153
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.559
forward to today, Morgan has built a beautiful life. She's

154
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:19.759
balanced work, school, relationships, and personal growth in ways that

155
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:25.039
impressed me daily. She's thoughtful, organized, and has this calm

156
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.519
strength that I know will never serve her so well

157
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.320
as a mom. She's already reading parenting books, setting up

158
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:36.039
a nursery with soft colors and gentle patterns, and talking

159
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.399
about the kind of mother she wants to be, one

160
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:43.360
who listens, who plays, who teaches kindness. Birthdays in our

161
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:47.960
family have always included writing letters. Every year on June seventeenth,

162
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.159
we reflect on the past year and dream about the next.

163
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.519
This year, that letter will be extra meaningful. We'll celebrate

164
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.799
the woman she is and the mother she's about to become.

165
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.320
We'll talk about how her life is expanding in the

166
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.799
most miraculous way. One thing we've learned over the years

167
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.519
is that family isn't perfect, but it's ours. We've had

168
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.639
chaotic holidays with too many people and not enough chairs.

169
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.720
We've had arguments that taught us better communication. We've had

170
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.679
quiet moments where someone just needed a hug. Through it all,

171
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.600
we've chosen to show up for each other. For Morgan,

172
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:29.080
that foundation is what she'll lean on when sleepless nights come,

173
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.360
when the baby has colic, when she questions if she's

174
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.320
doing it right, We'll be there, just like our parents

175
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:40.200
were for us. Grandparenting means offering wisdom without overstepping, help

176
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.120
without taking over, and endless love no matter what. I've

177
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.679
been thinking a lot about what advice i'd give her

178
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:51.559
right now. First, trust your instincts. Second, ask for help

179
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.080
when you need it. It's not weakness, it's wisdom. There

180
00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:01.120
document everything, the tiny moments become the biggest treasures. Remember

181
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.320
to breathe and enjoy it. Time flies faster than you

182
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.039
can imagine. The pregnancy has been such a joyful ride already.

183
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.960
Morgan has shared little updates that make us smile, how

184
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.559
the baby is kicking more, how certain foods suddenly taste

185
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.399
amazing or terrible. We've had video calls where she's showing

186
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.960
off that growing bump and the whole family cheers like

187
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.440
it's the best show on Earth. Finding out it was

188
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.759
a girl was pure magic. We immediately started brainstorming names, sweet,

189
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.879
timeless ones that honor family heritage but also feel fresh.

190
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.759
There have been shopping trips for tiny socks and blankets.

191
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.600
We've pulled out old family hairlooms, the same crib blanket

192
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.799
I used for my babies, now waiting for a new generation.

193
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.759
As grandparents, we're preparing to We've been babyproofing parts of

194
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.600
the house again, pulling out old toys that still work perfectly,

195
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.039
and stocking up on books we'd love to read aloud.

196
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.360
There's some healing about revisiting those early parenting days with

197
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.039
fresh eyes and more patience. If you're a grandparent listening

198
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.879
or hoping to be one soon, here are some thoughts

199
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.639
from our hearts. Be present, put the phone down and

200
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:19.600
really watch them discover the world. Offer practical help, meals, laundry,

201
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.000
a night of babysitting so parents can rest share stories

202
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.440
of their parents when they were little. It builds connection

203
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:33.279
and most importantly, love them unconditionally. Grandchildren don't need perfection.

204
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.759
They need your time and your joy. We're already planning

205
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.519
on how to spoil this little one just enough extra cuddles,

206
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.559
special songs, and yes, probably a few extra treats when

207
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.240
mom and dad aren't looking. This season stirs so many emotions,

208
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.000
Gratitude for the health of Morgan and the baby, excitement

209
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.759
for all the first will witness again, and a deep

210
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.480
sense of peace knowing our family story continues. Life has

211
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.279
taught us that new beginnings often come wrapped in ordinary days.

212
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:08.960
A text message with a sonogram photo, a birthday dinner

213
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.039
where we toast to the future. These are the moments

214
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.519
that stitch our hearts together. We have so many traditions

215
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.759
will carry forward. Birthday mornings always start with pancakes shaped

216
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.639
like the person's age or initial. We sing loudly, off

217
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.720
key and with so much love. Holiday mornings involve reading

218
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.720
the same special books. Summer means backyard campouts with s'mores

219
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.759
and ghost stories, the mild ones for the little ears.

220
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.039
This baby girl will grow up knowing she's part of

221
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.440
something bigger. She'll hear stories about her mama chasing butterflies.

222
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.519
She'll learn family recipes. She'll feel the love that wraps

223
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.840
around her like a warm blanket. To make this episode

224
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:54.759
extra special, I want to share one of our favorite

225
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.919

hearts connected to yours. We're sending so much love to Morgan,

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.400
