35 weeks....

I am finally 35 weeks.
Ive been so anxious and ready for this baby. And have wanted nothing more than to meet him soon. But now i really really just want him to stay put as long as he can. I need time. For me and the people directly around me. I want my world to be strong and ready when he comes.

Its been a really rough week.
And its starting to take a real toll on my physce.
Some things have happened that im not really ready to 'blog' about.
Its killing me because i really feel i should be talking about how i feel more.
But really I cant publically go on and on about it yet. For privacy sake.

Things are going to be okay. They have to be. I am soooo thankful for the people in my life, my wonderful husband and Awesome family. I love them more than the world. Im learning that no matter what life is constantly changing.

Hug your loved ones tight. There are NO PROMISES for tomorrow and what it may bring. We can only have hope and fill ourselves with Optimism that things will, can, and DO get better. With time.

I hope everyone is safe this New Years. Please dont be reckless, if you are gonna drink DONT drive. BE super safe. WE love ya.

34 weeks down 6ish to go!

Sooooo it's the day after Christmas technically. It wasnt tooo bad this year. It was definetly an awkward feeling christmas though. Next year will be alot better. A kiddo thats like family to us was admitted to the hospital x-mas eve. That put a real damper on things, and also with the passing of Codys Grandmother it made it a definetly more humble Christmas. I dont mind that at all. Im so thankful for my family and our friends, and could only wish the best for everyone. Its almost the new year, so time for a new start. And hopefully not too long after we'll be welcoming our little fella into our world. You better bet im ready for him.

Heres just 7 things I can wait to be rid of!!

• The never leaving HEARTBURN
• Peeing 1,000 times a night, and day.
• Feeling like my pelvis was hit by a bus.
• not being able to eat anything without feeling bloated beyond belief.
• not Fitting into normal clothes.
• Uncomfortable "intimate" time with hubby . Bless his heart.
• Not being able to sleep.

I know very well im gonna miss feeling little dex wiggling away inside me, being with me everywhere I go. But Im also very aware that pregnancy is a Journey. And the best part of it will be having him here with me and his dad soon. Im just really ready now for that part. I want him to get big and strong, and then maybe see us near the end of January!!

Greetings from East Texas

Sooooo...Me and my hubby are in San Marcos until tomorrow. Hopefully we will be home by early afternoon. I am sooo spent. Today Codys brother Graduated with his BBA. Yay for him...hes so smart. But man am I pooped. He lives on the 3rd floor and the stairs alone have licked me these past couple of days. Then today we had to walk like a mile. By the time we got back my feet were more swollen than I ever want to see them EVER again. With every step I took I felt like dexter was just gonna fall out. To put it short and sweetly I simply found out my limit today. Im paying for it now.

I just realized that im almost 34 weeks preggo!!!! omg Where is time going. Before i know it all have a sweet lil squishhy baby on my hands. And WTH christmas is on wednesday...or technically Thursday but we celebrate on X-mas eve. The holidays breeezed by for me this time around.




Also cody lost his Grandmother on friday night. Im very saddened about it as is his family. I didnt personally know her well. But could only imagine my loss if it was my mother/Grandmother. I send all my love and prayers to his family. Sorry baby.

A week til X-mas...49 days til Dexter!

Hello everyone...time for a dexter Update!!

I had my 33 week appointment today. Everything is going really good. I have only gained 19lbs this pregnancy WOO...im sure there will be a few more pounds added to that by the end of this. I also started off at a high poundage so i didnt need to gain much.

My NP said she thinks hes about 3.5lbs maybe 4 right now...and that shes guessing 7.5 or 8 lbs at delivery and the lil guy is definetly head first! So it was a fun appointment. I go back on new years eve for my 35 week appt and blood tests and stuff. Yay...we are so close to seeing our boy. Its exciting.

Oh yeah can you believe Christmas is right around the corner. OMG. like 7 days...Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

32 weeks WOOO!

Hello 32 weeks....thats only 8 weeks to go.

I looove being preggo, and feeling my lil boy move. But im dying to meet him. 8 weeks seems sooo short, but not really! Yet its a very neccasary 8 weeks. We need a happy healthy fella at the end of this.

My job at target ended a little earlier than i though. I just couldnt do it anymore. My feet were swelling horribly by the end of the day. I feel so much better and can get around when im able to of sat down for most of the day. Call me lazy , i dont care. Making a baby is tough. Plus Im just now starting to get over this horrible cold...it was like 2 weeks of complete misery. Im never sick. Colds dont last but a couple days. So im blaming my lowered immune system.
I succesfully gave it to all of my family and husband. However i do believe it was my little niece that gave it to me to start with. Today my throat only hurts a little, and I can SoRTA breathe through my nose!!

Dexter is just a kicking and a punching at me....I feel like hes head down based on where his kicks are now. Im sure hes getting ready to be able to stretch those legs of his. Codys mom Kim told me he was 22inches when he was born....long and skinny.<3 Im dying to meet my little spider monkey! And i wouldnt mind one bit if he looked juuust like his handsome daddy.

Ohhh yeah Christmas is like 16 days away!!! Oh goodness. The weekend right before we are traveling to San Marcos for Shays college Graduation. Ill be almost 34 weeks preggo. Hopefully dexter doesnt try any funny stuff on the trip. I must must finish my X-mas shopping my then. I think theres just a couple of people we have left to buy for. Sooo very exciting. After Christmas its just a month or sooo til this sweet child weve been baking is ready to meet his momma and daddy...and everyone else!

I better goo....the plumber is here to fix the furnace...YAY!!!

IN just a few short weeks.....

So im about to be 31 weeks. And Im sooooo elated. My belly gets bigger a lil bit every day. And i know it cant all be chubzz:) because im not gaining very much. Which is a great thing. But i still have a few more weeks to pack it on.

I cannot believe Im gonna be a mommy sooooo soon.
by my birthday ill have a baby boy in my arms, snuggling away. And im gonna treasure every
moment.

I also really cannot believe Christmas is allllmost here. Geeez. Ive been working at target for some holiday moneys and its been going okay. But its making the month drag by. The hour are a lil long, but the money is gonna be nice. I was just cashiering which was an okay job, but by the 4th hour my feet were DYING. SO now they have me training to also do Fitting room operator. Where ill answer the phones and stuff. So thatll give my achy feet a break some days. Then hopefully itll be january before ya know it. And i can stay assleep on my couch for those last few weeks.

I hope everyone also had a GREAT Thanksgiving. Me and Cody went to my families house for some yummmy ham<3 it was a great day. And GREAT food:)

32 days til Christmas!! EEK

I do believe the holidays snuck up on me this season. Shoot THanksgiving is just a couple of days away. No idea yet what our plans are family wise. Pretty sure we'll be going by both houses though. And seeing my family and the in-laws.

Wednesday marks 30 weeks of baby making for us!! Its becoming soooo real that in a couple short months we'll have a baby. Hopefully by my 24th birthday! Which is February 6th<3 Hes been the most active little baby lately, jost a wiggling and punching and kicking, feels like a swallowed a baby. My whole belly just moves and shakes from his little actions. Im really gonna miss those when hes out here with us. But at least we'll have a squirming baby in our arms to cuddle<3 Im Soooo nervous about Labor, and then breastfeeding, and then keeping it all together. I know im a woman and this is natural. We've been doing it forever but still. IM sooooo nervous that everything happens safely and soundly.

In other News I started a job at Target! I really like it. And it pays okay<3 The only part i Dislike is the standing on my feet for long hours part. By the 4th hour Im ready to just quit and lay down. Haha...but most of my shifts are 6-8hrs so im just having to deal. Itll be worth the extra x-mas money. I really want to have as good of a x-mas as possible. And get lil charlotte some good 1st gifts. We also need just a couple more things for Dexter<3

Im looking forward to the holidays....yet dreading them. Im more exxcited for January and the arrival of my lil snuggly winter baby<3

Thanks for listening to me ramble.....

Baby shower and 29 weeks!

So this past weekend was my babyshower.
Yay is all i can say really!

A big BIG BIG Thank you to a dear Family friend LAURIE who put it all together for me<3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi7To3duV6cRddUkdwnCmJkcOE7DIW0uEzy6USavNyMytMOR7e3QEd5tqvaKuuBvNVSiFYZWALrpv8tzCt3mmSD0TPNkL3q6BwF0Ktg0NRg9VfQszFkSvODJ7oKW-g8L4kHj5-6JyDy9s/s1600-h/babyshowerpreggo+153.JPG">cute to see him mushy about all the Tiny things. Geesh theres just not words enough to describe how thankful I am.

Today im just a day away from being 29 weeks! wow, its so hard to imagine really. In as little as 10 weeks we'll be meeting our son. Even though Im starting to feel miserable and tired all the time im staying focused. And trying to get mentally prepared for life to change in a couple short months. Im so excited to meet him, yet sooo anxious and nervous as to how I will be as a momma. I think hes starting to get nice and strong for us based on the strength hes gaining in his lil kicks and jabs.
Cody was Finally able to feel them. Usually the lil bugger stops right about the time I get codys attention to feel. So he gave daddy some swift punches and let him know he exists:)
Ive been feeling movement for a month or two. But now its just so much more often and stronger. I love it. And im getting so used to it that its gonna be strange yet soooo great to have him hear to punch and kick in real life<3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYaveiGWfQ-18ZmRTsWYb4GQ5DCWr-L1sftHhqgzq-F8n8__33PkTtwbiEIKO8E_YAM4GKwSW5ChhBTX40QgKIZNbb-AcE77aU172UPS_1ci_tFBdDSCP3gqJDumHET5iGrShdLd5Gyi8/s1600-h/babyshowerpreggo+169.JPG">

Wow we are almost 28 weeks into making our baby!

So time is flying for me...but almost not fast enough.
We had our follow up appointment at the doctors office this past friday.
Everything checked out just perfect. Dexters little heartbeat was normal!!! yay..for the biggest sigh of relief. I had a mere 1 lb gain. YAY again. And my tricky blood pressure was perfect. I couldnt of asked for a better appointment. Or a better Doctor. Well shes actually the Nurse practioner at my doctors office. I totally prefer seeing her though. I feel sooo comfortable asking her things, and shes always feeding me neat facts about the baby's development.

My baby shower is the next highlight of our month. I cant wait to have a reason to
see all our friends and family. And to celebrate this lil boy growing in me.
Then Thanksgiving will be here a week or two later, another checkpoint to his arrival.
Then Christmas in a mere few weeks. And then itll be a short countdown til im
loving and snuggling my lil Mini-cody.

The nursery is all painted and pretty ready to go. Thanks soooooo much to my awesome mother in law Kim. We love ya<3 and I totally couldnt of painted it by myself.
NOw Ive just been constantly daydreaming about having him here. Wondering what my days will be like. I cant wait to have purpose for everyday. And maybe an end to this horrible boredom that staying at home as brought on so far.
Ive gotten a holiday job and Bath & Body Works. So lets hope that will work out. As long as i can get scheduled and get some hours. Otherwise Im going to look for soemthing else. To help fund Christmas. And get some last minute things done around the ol Casa'.

I think Ill take some photos of me at 28 weeks soon. Im horrible about procrastinating.
I promise they are coming!

Sooo our weekend has been pretty nice and lazy<3 Yesterday we went to the arts and craft show at the coliseum, and we came away with a good smelling candle. I do believe the only thing they think of selling at those things are candles, jewelry, and and bags. And one random teeth whitening station. It was a kinda lame craft show in my eyes. Today we've just been cleaning house a little and watching football. Little Dexter is Karate chopping today so its giving me alot of tummy rubbing time. Im totally dying with no sugar, the no caffeine part I can deal with. The no sugar part is totally hard. EEk. Thank goodness its just til friday. Its not like im scarfing down a gigantic bowl of chocolate or anything but a random bit of sweetness is just wonderful.

New to us<3

I totally want to Credit my our friend Erica for the idea of a family blog. Codys family is mainly here in West Texas, however I have family In Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida! so..since we are expecting our lil boy this will be a way to keep in touch in a way. Basically also just letting everyone know whats goin on with us.
For those who dont know or know little about it, we are almost 27 weeks pregnant with our first child. We are sooooo excited to be welcoming a little boy in the first months of the new year !! His name will be Dexter Ray Johnson.

Our halloween was pretty great. We went to a friends house for some food and some good conversation. Me and cody both got to ooogle at lil babies since soo many of our friends have had kiddos in 07'-08-. Afterwards we stopped by briefly to another friends house where they have an awesome party every year. That was fun too. But I was pooped. Cody went as the joker and I went as an egyptian mummy. Everyone dressed up that we know so it was really fun! I think every grown up should dress up on halloween.

Well thats all for now, I know ill be posting more later!!
