I am not doing so well

Went to the hospital today because my Dr. told me to. Had strong contractions and they had a great pattern going. Cervix never changed. I am very upset and I'm sick of being in pain.

can't sleep!

It is 11:3op.m. I am having a ton of contractions but I am in denial that anything is happening. I went to the Dr. today and she "swept my membranes", by the way that was the most painful thing I have ever been through. I actually fainted in the Dr. office. Anyways, she told me I am 3cm dilated. She said things should be happening in 12-24 hours. So who knows..I am in pain now and I guess that is a good sign! Lets see if tonight will be the night!

I am not a happy camper...

I am going crazy. I am SO sick of being pregnant. I have sharp pains and I swear the baby is 11 pounds. I had Brady by this time my last pregnancy. I really need to get this baby out! Hopefully tonight something will happen! Here is a 39week belly pic..

I really miss Brady. He is with my parents and Joe's parents this weekend. Aunt Ashley is in town so she will get to play with him too. They will be here on Friday. I will take the opportunity to clean and sleep as much as I can before the baby comes!

not so fun trip to the hospital

Last night I was having contractions every 2-4 minutes for 5 hours. Joe and I decided to go to the hospital around 1:30a.m. She checked me and I was 2 cm and 60%. I walked around for an hour and I was still 2cm but I was way more effaced (she didn't tell me what I was at). I got excited that at least something was changing and I was hoping to be admitted. She told me that she can feel the amniotic sac "bulging" and that it is really close to breaking. I wad told to go home and take Tylenol (Lame..I wanted some drugs to get rid of the pain! haha). She also said "I wouldn't last through the weekend" meaning she gives me two days at the most. Who knows..I have been walking so much I am starting to give up! My mom came over for the weekend to help, thank goodness because Brady got sick and he needed a lot of attention. We really couldn't of made it with out her! They took Brady with them tonight to stay with them and Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. They will be switching him back and forth. We are so thankful for our parents!

surprise ultrasound

Today was kinda a stressful day for me. I had to wake up early and take the one hour glucose test. First of all, that drink was nasty. When I was pregnant with Brady I drank an orange drink and it wasn't so bad but this liquid was clear and I almost vomited! Anyways, So we went and did that. Brady was crazy tired and Joe wasn't happy because he had take care of him. Soon after the blood work we went to my OB Dr. appt. This is when my day got better, My Doctor told me that I don't have to get the RhoGam shot in my bum for two more weeks! (I really really hate shots) Then My Dr. asked me if I would like to hear the heartbeat or actually see the heartbeat. Joe and I of course chose to see the little guy. He is looking really good and healthy. He seems so big to me! I am thinking he might be bigger than Brady was. Most of the pictures are really blurry because it was done on one of the small office ultrasound machines. Here is his leg and foot. I thought it was cute!

Baby Johnson Leg and foot at 29 weeks

28 weeks (7 months)

So I am 28 weeks now. Time has been going by fast so that is a good thing but I really do feel like I am going to pop. My back is killing me, my legs are always cramping, and I keep having those painful braxton hicks contractions. For some reason this one is way harder on me than my first! Is that how it is for everyone? I try to walk as much as I can but my body slowly shuts down after 15 minutes of walking. I am ready for him to be out so I start working on losing weight and feeling better. I feel like I have been pregnant for two years! We are going to have a good (3-4 yr) gap between this one and our next! only 12 weeks or 84 days or 30% left!

I will call this one pregnancy brain!

Question, what is so wrong with buying a bunch clothes for Joe, Brady, Baby, and I? It's not like we even want that money or has any bills to pay! Oh wait. We do! That was dumb of me! Kohl's put a spell on me and made me buy the whole store. Joe asked me if I wanted to take back half of the stuff I bought or get these:
A bed for Brady
and a double stroller.

I guess we need these more than cute maternity clothes. Joe, I guess you win this time! :(

Lately...

All I have been doing is eating. I don't know what is wrong with me. I am surprised I haven't gained 50 pounds so far! I really can't get enough of these:

Mother's Taffy Cookies

And especially this:When I was pregnant with Brady I only gained 10-15 pounds and all I wanted was healthy fruit and vegetables. This pregnancy is the opposite. I love anything fried and melted with cheese. I have 3 weddings and a family reunion this summer, I can't be a hippo! I feel like an addict, I am in need of an intervention.

my life in numbers

I am 25 weeks pregnant
I am 62.1% through
I have 106 days or 16 weeks until my due date
My 3rd trimester starts in 15 days (March 30, 2010)
Due on June 29th, 2010
Oh and Brady boy is 15 months old today!

I am praying that time will go by fast and I (and my poor husband) will have the patients and energy to survive the next 16 weeks!

Ultrasound

Today Joe, Samantha, and I went to my 20 week ultrasound. I was in there for 3 hours! The baby was in the wrong position the whole time. He looked so cute though! He was going crazy in my tummy the whole time. At the very end she took a couple (really bad) pictures for me to take home. I hate it when they do that! This was the best pic I got. Oh well..I will get to see the little guy in 4 and a half months anyway. Joe and I need to start thinking of baby boy names now because we never can agree on one, so if you have any ideas of what to name this monkey let me know! Oh and It can't be a "cute" name because Joe will hate it...dumb I know.

20 weeks

Here is my 20 week belly. It is getting bigger and bigger by the second it feels like. Today I was having some problems (problems you all probably don't want to hear about) and I went to my OB to see if the baby was ok. He gave me an ultrasound and he said that I need to stay in bed this weekend until I see him on Tuesday again and I will be getting a better ultrasound at the lab. Anyways, when when the Dr. was checking the baby out he said that we are in fact having a boy! I knew it all along! Looks like I will be taking all of my pink clothes back and buying some blue stuff. Joe and I are happy to have two boys in a row. Brady will have a little buddy to play with. I just hope our next one is a girl. I need a girl someday :)

16 weeks 2 days belly

Well here is my HUGE belly. I know I look like I'm 8 months pregnant already but I blame that on my cravings for french fries. I have only gained 3 pounds so far so that's good. As my Dr. would say " Your uterus is just stretched out! That's what you get when you get pregnant 10 months after having a baby!" It's always fun hearing that you're stretched out!

update

Lots has happened in the last couple weeks. We went home for thanksgiving at my parents house, We moved into a bigger place down the street, And I have been on the couch sick most days. This pregnancy hit me hard! I am already showing, which is not a good thing! I just feel fat!I am going home today because I need to get out and shop. Oak Harbor has nothing to do. My dad is on his way right now to pick me up. Samantha and her puppy Poco are coming also! I am excited to stop in Seattle for Santa Lane! My dad's company builds it every year at the downtown Nordstrom. I will get cute pictures of Brady with Santa. My computer won't let me upload pictures right now so I will post some soon hopefully!

PILLS

folic acid



ondansetron (for sickness)



unisome




Vit B12


Prenatal

I have to take all of these pills! I feel like a pill popper! I will be a happy girl the day I don't have to take all of these nasty pills!

First Dr. Appt.

Joe, Brady, and I made a trip to the OB to get a ultrasound of the baby. It really hit me hard when I saw the little heart beating. It was so tiny! They changed my due date to July 6th. I have a feeling it will change a lot. So anyways, the baby looks good so far! I was glad to only see one baby in there! I get to find out if the baby is a boy or girl on Feb. 8th. I am really excited to find out the sex! I am wanting a girl and of course Joe wants a boy. We will be happy with anything that is healthy!

June 29th 2010

This was my Halloween costume. I made it! isn't it cute? Joe and I found out a couple weeks ago that we do in fact have a baby brewing! This baby has been a big shock to us! I really don't know how I am going to handle a newborn and a 18 month old. Joe will probably be on a ship so I will have to birth another baby with out him, but we wont think about that right now! Morning sickness struck hard on my birthday ( it's not fair!). I will be getting my first ultrasound next week sometime. My due date is June 29, 2010!

Elephant feet

Well I have been walking my bum off lately! I can honestly say I never thought my feet would ever be this swollen! I will be one happy girl when this pregnancy is over! I am hoping soon! Baby only has a week til his dad gets home! yay! My swollen feet

will also be happy for his arrival!

My lovely trip to the hospital

The last couple days have been kinda crazy for me. Last night I started having these killer contractions around 8 and they were around 2-4 min apart. I just stayed at home as long as I could and at 1:00AM I told my sister that I need to go to the hospital. We got there and my contractions were around 2-3 min apart and very very painful! They told me to walk around for an hour and if anything has changed they would keep me. Well I walked around the hospital until 3:00 AM and then nothing had changed. I was SO upset! I thought for sure that this little guy was coming! She then gave me a shot of morphine for the pain and sent me home. I woke up this morning feeling great! So who knows when he is going to come! Hopefully soon! I am getting really sick of trying to put my socks on and falling over! I don't even remember what it feels like not to be pregnant!

I think I am going crazy...

I went to my OB appt. today and she told me that nothing has changed...She kinda gave me false hope last time she checked me! She made it seem like I was going to have a baby in a couple weeks. Well it's been a couple weeks and nothing. So I will let you know what happens at next weeks appt! I just hope I have this baby in time for Joe to see him. I just wish my Dr. would agree to induce me when the baby is 40 weeks. I guess the only thing I can do is pray that the little guy comes a little early for Christmas!

What I have been up to this November

This is what I have been up to this November:


November 6th Was my birthday and that was a blast!

I have been taking the dogs on walks everyday...

I Watched everyone cook the Thanksgiving meal :)

My mom is a little Martha Stewart! She really made Thanksgiving special this year even though it was just the four of us. She still make a weeks worth of food! Very yummy!

My dad carved the turkey..the dogs are hoping some fall to the ground.

Last night we put up the tree! I spent 3 hours yesterday wrapping presents so I am glad to be done with that. I decided to buy all of the x-mas gifts early because I don't know how much longer I will have until my little boy decides to come. Black friday was NOT fun for me! but at least I can relax til Christmas!
