Surprise!

Remember I mentioned some exciting things have been happening in our lives recently??

Topping that list is little Baby Johnson expected May 2016! We are over the moon to be growing our family. The more the merrier!!

6:00 AM September 23, my 29th birthday, I just had a feeling that I should take a pregnancy test. I’m not really sure why I felt this way as I wasn’t really “late” and had no indications that I might be pregnant. I was under some stress waiting to hear back about a job opportunity in another state and perhaps the anxiety about the job and even the remote possibility that I could be pregnant is what drove me to take the test. I needed answers! So I peed on the stick and was fully prepared for a negative result, but much to my surprise it turned positive almost immediately. Because it was early in the morning I had to think about this for a minute and consulted the pregnancy test box several times to make sure that I was comprehending the result correctly.

I went to the bedroom, called my sleeping husband’s name and said “I think I’m pregnant!” A big smile spread across my face as I spoke this news out loud. Justin responded by asking me if I was serious before giving me the biggest hug. Mush.

Two more at home pregnancy tests, one in-lab pregnancy test, and a dating ultrasound at 6 weeks confirmed our happy news! All this helped blunt the news (also received on my birthday) that I didn’t get the job. But I would say all is working out as it should. 🙂

Here’s Baby J at 12 weeks.
