Christmas Fun!

Here are some pictures from Christmas with the family. Baby Johnson got some very cute gifts from her grandparents, including fuzzy go-go boots and a handmade Angels poncho.

Maternity Pants!

I got my first pair of maternity work pants for Christmas--thanks Brie. Here I am sporting them today. They have a stretchy pannel that fits nicely over the belly. I will admit that I was pretty comfy all day!

27 weeks!

Another week, a little more belly to love! I bought the baby a Christmas present--new bedding for the nursery--I hope she likes it as much as I do. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Getting bigger by the day!

We're at 26 weeks now, and I seem to be getting bigger every day. It's nice to finally look pregnant! Here are some pictures from Danny and Nyssa's annual Thanksmas Dinner over the weekend, Ethan's holiday party last night, and a lovely belly pic from tonight. There's no hiding that thing now!

Countdown to Christmas!

We got our tree tonight and surprisingly it was the most painless tree experience to date. We liked the first tree we saw and when we got it home and put it in the tree stand it just went up nice and straight. The only thing that was missing was our ritual champagne toast. I was a little sad about that, and I had to settle on hot chocolate instead.

Ethan and I both agree that the belly has come out in full force this week! So it is true what they say about the belly just popping out one day, and it looks like my day has come!

24 Weeks!

I can't believe I'm 6 months now! Just a few more months until we get to meet our little girl! Just came from the doctor and he says everything is looking good. I just about had a heart attack when I stepped on the scale today and I'm blaming it on someone who left tons of chocolate and cheese at my house (you know who you are)! Oh well, I will admit I have been enjoying myself immensely.
PS. Brie, thanks for the black pants! They have become my work wardrobe staple.

Turkey Time!

We went to my parents' house this year for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time and ate way too much! Everything was great--thanks mom and dad!

A New Stroller for...Koa?

Once Koa got over his initial fear of the stroller (I wish I would have gotten that on video--there was barking and everything), he seemed to be very interested in our new purchase. He just about crawled into the car seat! Ethan seems to think that the cupholders are for beer. I have my work cut out for me!

Weekend Fun!

We had friends up for the weekend and we went wine tasting (I was obviously the DD). Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun. This picture is in front of Melville, where Ethan works.

Previous Weeks Recap

Since I just started this blog halfway through my pregnancy, I thought I'd go back in time a little bit with a few earlier photos. We have me at 16 and 19 weeks, and the baby at 20 weeks.

This is not my bellybutton!

We're at week 22 and up until just recently I've sailed through this pregnancy looking pretty much like my old self... but now the belly is officially showing and man does my bellybutton look different! Not in a bad way, it didn't go from an innie to an outie or anything, it just looks different. I've had new moms warn me about all sorts of things, but no one told me about this.

Our little girl is now the size of a small grapefruit and she weighs almost a pound! She moves all the time, especially in the morning before I get out of bed. I'm still on my chocolate pudding kick, and pretty much anything chocolate I can get my hands on makes me very happy these days. I really want to make brownies tonight, but I'm afraid I might eat them all if I do...so I'm writing on this thing instead.
