23 weeks!!!

Today marks 23 weeks!!! My life has already changed (for the better) and I just KNOW it's going to get better!!! Have I ever mentioned I LOVE being pregnant??? Yes, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I enjoy waking up everyday to see how big my belly is! HEHE! Anyhow, this past week has been a busy one for sure! We bought all of the supplies (paint, paintbrushes, crown molding, bead board, etc.) for baby "J"s nursery! Chris started painting the room and is actually working on it right now. He's such a good daddy already! We also went to the Pompano Yule Tide Christmas parade with my brother Chris and his girlfriend Mariah! We ordered a pizza, propped up our lawn chairs and watched the parade in the cold! MY FAV!!! Friday night was quite an adventure as well. I had my annual Christmas party from work and it was at the Hardrock!!! At 23 weeks pregnant, the Hardrock takes on a whole new meaning! LOL!!! It was great being able to dance and to watch all of my other friends dance from a barstool. :-) We had plans to go to the Ft. Lauderdale boat parade on a yacht, but after Thursday and Friday, I was T-I-R-E-D, so Chris ended up running the boat instead of being a guest on the boat for extra cash.

PS. We're down to two names....FINALLY:

Luke Robert Johnson

Cole Robert Johnson

Anyhow, here's what's going on with "Nemo" this week!!!

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With his sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that he's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see him squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing his for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't phase him when he hears them outside the womb.
