You Know You're Pregnant When....

This post came up on one of my baby forums and wanted to share a couple of posts.  It kind of brightened my night.


You know you're pregnant when you are super excited about opening your new breastpump and trying it out.
You know you are pregnant when you feel gassy constantly
You know you're pregnant when the grocery store is as exciting to you as a candy store is to a kid
You know you're pregnant when you recheck the fridge every 5 mins to see if your craving has appeared
You know you're pregnant when can't go up a flight of stairs without sounding like you just ran miles
You know you're pregnant when you rather walk about in your underwear because nothing is comfortable to you anymore

No Pacifiers ... PLEASE!

Starting from birth...I will not be using any pacifiers. I don't see the point in them and too many parents rely on them as a way to unhandedly comfort their child. What's the joy in having your child suck on a piece of plastic for hours on end just because you don't want to hear your child cry or you're too "busy" to comfort him on your own? There are parents around that have 2 year olds and still haven't "weened" their child away from the pacifier. Why?

I don't want my child to have to rely on materialistic things and lead him to believe that these things are what he "needs". They're just temporary fixes and that's why I will not be giving my child a pacifier.

This is sad..but still wanted to share.

It's Going To Be Hard...But I'm Ready (+Photos)

So during the past couple of weeks I've been catching up on episodes of 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. I would like to say that having my first child at 24, I'm at the age where I could care less if I go out every night or if I see my "friends every day. I'm looking forward to mommy hood and the stress it brings and I'll be very upset if I missed a milestone in my child's life because I was out partying and not out taking care of business.

So I realize that I never posted a blog after my ultrasound I had at 20 weeks. So here are a few pics :

 

IT'S A BOY!!

I am so excited. I kind of already knew I was having a boy and it's what I wanted my first child to be but after having so many people tell me it was a girl, I was starting to think otherwise. My son's name will be Bryce Addai Johnson.

This is me now. At 24 weeks....

   

20 Weeks

Belly Pic - 18weeks

So I took these pics a week ago (I'm 19 weeks today) and I didn't know if I should post them. Didn't want people to think I was obsessed with my belly.....but in the end, who cares? This is my first child and I'm excited.

So take a look-see.

Up late...relaxing feeling the little one squirm around. I've noticed that it's more active during late nights during the day. My little night owl baby ♥.
8 days until I find out the gender. Can't wait.
