This coming Sunday marks a full 20 weeks pregnant! Whoo hoo! I can't believe how the time has flown!
The past two weeks or so I've felt an ever so slight feeling like maybe movement but it was so faint it could have past for anything! Well, Monday night he/she was DEFINITELY doing tumbles and long enough so that even Chris could feel and not think I was going insane! It was utterly amazing! They were so strong and carried on for about 10 minutes. I was in shock. I think it really hit me. Although I don't really look like it, I have a 10 inch long, month old baby growing inside me! With kicks strong enough that Chris can feel them already! It seems as though now the baby just wants to keep up the gymnast routines! I usually feel the movement just before bedtime around 11 or so...right after ice cream! Today has been QUITE different...I caught a 600AM flight this morning for work and the baby was moving up a storm when the plane took off! Just before lunch as welll...probably letting me know to eat! :)

Checkup
So today was another checkup. I never thought I would say this but I want a belly! I've gained 15 pounds over the past 17 1/2 weeks and to anyone that doesn't know me, I don't look pregnant. I guess that means I need to take it easy on the ice-cream! In other words, the 15 pounds has gone everywhere I DON'T want it to go (then again, one area's gain may be seen as a plus :)!. It's funny, the most irritating this about where the weight has been distributed is that I still can't fit into maternity clothes so that means that the $150 I just spent in new clothes probably won't fit in amonth. At least maternity clothes stretch! Could be worse. At least I'm right where I should be with weight gain according to the nurse, as long as I stay to 1 pound a week going forward.
The good news of course was that Baby Johnson's heart rate came in at 160. So far it's stayed pretty consistant all three times at 164, 156 and 160.
The bummer of the day was finding out the our U/S was moved from next week to an additional three weeks...July 11th. I guess there is a HUGE difference between 18 weeks and 21 weeks and the doctor wants to be able to see more.
As far as the calendar goes, Baby Johnson is now over 4 months old in utero. Almost half way there! Just two weeks to go until 20 weeks!

Checkup
So I sometimes forget that I am pregnant and have been forbidden by Chris to continue doing stupid things that involve falling from high places, considering yard work unsupervised when it's 95 degrees, and not drinking enough water. I feel handicapped! For good reason of course :)
I had my second appointment the 16th and all was well again. I've gained a total of 10 pounds but still no tummy really. Kind of a bummer...it's going everywhere I don't want it to go! Blood pressure was excellent and I got to hear the heartbeat again! This time was bit slower at 156 but I guess flucuation is normal. I've only have two emotional breaksdowns that I know of although Chris may disagree! Ha!
Our next appointment is a checkup on on June 13th followed by a full ultrasound and complete exam on June 21st. We've specified that we would like a three-dimensional US so we are definitely psyched! Of course we've been torn with the infamous question, "to find out or not find out" the sex. We were tossing it back and forth for a while but we've decided to let it be a surprise. I think it's a boy, he thinks it's a girl. We shall see!

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!
