A family fun outing

Today we packed the boys up and headed to Little Rock to start our Babies R Us Registry and boys was it fun :o) We stopped along the way and had some Chinese Buffet :o) :o) But before we left the house we had ourselves a little photo shoot....hope you enjoy!

Nursery

I have spent hours and hours and hours on my computer looking at girl nurseries. And I am getting a little bit overwhelmed :o( We are going to use all of the furniture in Aidan's room (since we will be switching him to a big boy bed before the baby comes) so that is where I am running into my problems. All his furniture is the "Natural" wood color....and I don't think it will go well with any of the color schemes I like :o( But I am not going to let that hold me back, I am going to do some more searching and window shopping and I will soon have a pattern and theme pick out.....I HOPE!

Really LOVE this one

This is my 2nd fav

 

It is a GIRL

This morning we went in for our big ULTRASOUND :o) And were surprised to find out that we are expecting a baby girl :o) Now, she didn't really want to cooperate with us, so the Ultrasound Technician spent a lot of time trying to get her to uncross her legs. We didn't see any definite girl "parts" but we also didn't see ANY boys parts....so we are gonna take the Techs. word and say this one is a GIRL....but you NEVER know ;o) This will be the first Granddaughter on both sides of the family and will be the first Great Granddaughter from Phil's mother's side. So we are very excited about this great news. Philip and I are both a little lost when it comes to girls, and we are sorta nervous, but I think we will do just fine! I am having a field day planning the nursery....so many options to choose from! The baby is looking VERY healthy on the ultrasound she is measuring almost 2 lbs now and I am measuring a week ahead. But the doc still wants to stick with the May 5, 2010 due date. I will keep everyone updated on the pregnancy and our nursery transformation.

 

 

Looks like a girl to me :o)

Grandma's In Town

This past weekend, Phil's mother flew in to celebrate Phil's birthday with us and to see the family. We had a very good visit with her. Friday night we just relaxed at home visiting with one another. On Saturday morning we woke up and piled everyone into the car to go and eat some good old home cooked breakfast. I was in heaven with my cheese and tomato omelet and greasy hash browns :o) After breakfast, we dropped Paula and the boys off at the house and Philip and I went to get some Christmas shopping done. It was so nice to have a day with no kids. We were able to shop in peace and we even stopped and ate some lunch at McAlister's. Saturday evening we drove to Iron Mtn to see the light display....it was a fun experience for Ace. Sunday was another lazy day at home watching FOOTBALL and celebrating Phil's birthday :o) And Sunday we had to say goodbye to Grandma. I know the kids had a great time!

Thanksgiving

The Johnson family had a very "blessed" Thanksgiving. It was a very quiet day spent at home with the family. I woke up early and make the boys some Cinnamon Rolls, but when it was time to wake them up....we soon realized that they were both sick and running fevers :o( So we all just laid on the couch watching the Macy's Day Parade. The boys were rather good for feeling so miserable, they laid around watching tv, slept, or played with their Daddy. I of course spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking. This was my first year making a REAL Thanksgiving Dinner. I made a homemade Pumpkin Pie, homemade Mashed Potatoes, homemade Crockpot Dressing, Roasted Turkey, homemade Green Bean Casserole, Cranberries, and Dinner Rolls......it was AMAZING! My plan was to have dinner on the table by 3pm, but it was more like 6pm, and by that time both boys were EXHAUSTED and ready for bed. But we ate our dinner, spent some more quality time as a family, and then we put the boys to bed. We had a very good Thanksgiving in our new house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aidan: 15 months old

It is hard to believe that my little baby is getting so big. I took him in today for his 15th month doctor's appointment and he is looking great. Asthma doesn't seem to be an issue this winter (Praise the Lord). He is doing good when it comes to weight :o) but a little on the short side! We tend to make chunky short babies :o) He did receive his Flu shot and all his other vaccinations (no H1N1 for us).

15 Weeks

Today I went to the doctor for my 15 week appointment. The baby's heartbeat sounds great....which is funny....because with both of the boys, my doctor could never hear the heartbeat....he always had to order an ultrasound for me. But not with this baby....we can hear the heartbeat strong and loud. Everything is going good with the baby, but as for me that is another topic. I have been having some really severe leg itchiness. Nothing seems to help, and I have tried everything. So our next step is go and see a dermatologist. Hopefully we will get to the bottom of this!
