Almost week 11!

So I am coming up on Week 11 of my pregnancy and the sickness is getting worse. I thought towards the end of the first trimester it would get better but that is not the case for me. About a week ago I started getting sick more regularly in the mornings, the queasy feeling stays until about 10:00am, and then I am usually fine the rest of the day. I still think I have had it pretty good so far according to stories I have heard from other mothers! I thank God that I am healthy enough to carry this baby and I pray that it takes whatever it needs from me. I can handle the occasional sickness.

So I have been cramping the past couple of days so I called the doctor on Monday. They fit me in yesterday to check everything out. After a few tests and samples they found out that it is just an infection that is very common with pregnancy. The best part was since I was already in the office my doctor went ahead and did an ultrasound to check on the baby. I got to see the little peanut! He was all curled up and she was poking at him and I guess it woke him up. I have an ultrasound picture of him all curled up and then I have one where his legs and arms are all stretched out. He stuck his legs straight up in the air but he was waving his little arms around. It was so wonderful to see God's little creation in there just as content as ever!

I know I keep referring to the baby as a "he" but I think I do that out of habit since we have had so many boys born lately. Plus I just can't bear to call our baby "it."

Baby Johnson

So- I am sure all the bloggers out there don't like me because I am now officially the world's worst blogger. It has been over 2 months since my last post.

In case you don't know- Derrick and I are expecting our first baby. Little Baby Johnson is expected to be here on February 11, 2010. We went for our first ultrasound last Wednesday and the doctor said everything looked great and the heart beat was strong and healthy. We are very excited about this next journey in our lives. God has given us 4 wonderful years of marriage and time with each other and now he is adding a child to our family. We already couldn't love this baby any more.

Now that I am pregnant and have something exciting to blog about maybe I will be better at this. I will keep everyone updated with the progress and status of the baby and how fast he or she is growing!

Busy life!

Ok- I am not so good at posting anymore. It seems as though I have been so busy that I tend to forget to get on here and post any updates. Here are a few pictures on what has been going on!

Last weekend we went back to TN for Chariti Law's wedding. We were also able to catch one of Allison's soccer games.
