Baby Johnson!

Hello All!

So as you all may know(since you've been directed to this site) Chris and I are expecting a child! We figured a website would be the most efficient way to keep everyone updated during the next seven months.

We had our first visit AND ultrasound on the 16th, which was so exciting and absolutely amazing! I don't think either one of us totally knew what what would be able to see considering it was so early in the pregnancy (9 weeks). We were overcome with joy and awe when we say a flurry activity coming from an inch-long baby! Baby Johnson cooperated and gave us yet another surprise when we heard a strong heartbeat of 164 beats per minute. Quite active! I was bummed to find out the next ultrasound wouldn't be until June 21 (18 weeks) weeks...although that does mean that everyone is healthy!

We've attached an ultrasound picture although it does no justice to seeing the real thing on a big-screen monitor!

For the most part I have been feeling quite good. No morning/night sickness and only a period of nausea that lasted off and on for about two weeks. Other than that, I just have a day here and there where i am just more tired than usual.

We told Chloe on Sunday and she was overjoyed to find out that she was going to be a big sister. Of course she wants a girl! At first she was afraid to put any pressure whatsoever on my stomach or for me to pick her up because she thought she would "hurt the tiny baby". I told her all was fine. She's psyched to know that she'll be able to help with the baby.

Be sure to check back soon!
