And finally Thanksgiving!

I have definitely been a slacker on updating my blog. I am just now posting pictures from Thanksgiving. We had a great time in Provo and Brigham City this Thanksgiving. Here are a few pictures from our holiday trip.

This is not Raspberry Lemonade - this is Grandma's famous punch. Ashley and I can't have a Thanksgiving without Grandma's famous punch!




Annual story time at the Johnson Thanksgiving sleepover. Grandpa Chad always reads to the kids before they go to sleep. Then the adults get to party! :)

Baby update. . .

This is just a quick update on how the baby is doing. I am a little behind on this, but I thought I would share the information anyway. I had my first ultrasound about 4 weeks ago (see I am way behind!) It was so cool! The baby had a good heartbeat and was squirming and kicking like crazy. The baby didn’t stop moving and flipping around – I definitely have a James Johnson in my belly. We then had another doctor’s appointment on Monday for the 15 week check up. We got to hear the heartbeat and once again the nurse said the baby was actively moving! These doctor’s appointments start to make things seem a little more real. Also the fact that my clothes are getting a little tight, but I won’t go into that! The doctor told me in the next couple of weeks my belly should start to show and then I won’t be able to hide it anymore. That is exciting, but it also is still the stage where people are not going to know for sure if I am pregnant or not. That is always awkward. We will be finding out what we are having January 21st and I am so excited! I am kind of hoping for a girl, but for some reason I feel like I am having a boy. Maybe that is because there are so many boys in the Johnson family, I feel like I am sure to add to the bunch! I will keep everyone posted on my next ultrasound and I promise I won’t wait this long next time.
