30 Weeks
30 weeks has arrived, only 10 weeks left until due date! Definitely starting to feel bigger. 30 week doctor appt was on Friday and everything looks normal and Baby Johnson is measuring right on track. Baby Johnson weight about 3-3.5 pounds right now which will likely double by my due date.

29 Weeks
Time is starting to fly by a little too fast now! Already 29 weeks which is a week or two into the 3rd (and final) trimester!
I started work on March 18th at SK Food Group, where Byron works, as a HR Specialist. Feels good to be back at work. I'll be there through June and then hopefully go back a few months after baby should they need me.
Tyler & Trinity are here for Spring Break this week. We played some games at Circus Circus and hit up the arcade at the Peppermill last weekend. Today we had some family photos taken in the wind near the Washoe Valley State Park.
As far as the pregnancy goes, I'm turning into a bit of a waddler. I'm carrying the baby low and already getting the pressure and sciatic nerve pain that makes me walk slower. Other than that things are pretty good, I'm just happy to have a healthy pregnancy thus far. My "cute bump" is starting to grow a lot faster into a full grown belly.
Tater can't get enough of snuggling nowadays. He either loves his little brother already or I'm just a lot warmer than I used to be so he is taking advantage of that. Either way its pretty darn cute.
Will update soon with pics of our little nursery area. We painted Trinity's room and Baby Johnson will be sharing the closet corner. We put together the crib and are hanging some pictures soon.

25 Weeks
Tomorrow marks 25 weeks, so I'm partly through the sixth month. As you see below, I have officially lost my feet to my little bump. Other than the normal little aches and pains, second trimester has been comfortable. (All I can say is, thank God for yoga pants.)
Last week I received and framed the prints that will be the inspiration for the nursery area and will go behind his crib. Love Etsy. :) We will start painting the bedrooms soon. Since we have a three bedroom house, Baby Johnson will be sharing a corner of Trinity's room.

February 2013 Update
As of today, Baby Johnson is 23 weeks, 2 days along - almost six months. He is estimated to be the size of an ear of corn (8.5 inches) and about 1.5 pounds. At this point most of his internal organs have formed and are functioning and he closely resembles a little human. He also can hear sound and has developed taste buds.
16 weeks, 5 days to go until my due date!
Lots of happenings to report in the last few weeks!
1. I was laid off from my job at HR Coordinator with CEVA Logistics (I really liked it - boo) but we are being positive about the change. I have had a few promising interviews so far. =)
Plus....When I'm not job searching this leaves more time to prepare for baby's arrival in June.
2. Byron and I started a registry at Babies R Us. That was quite overwhelming...but fun! Quite a few people have asked about this, here is the info:
3. I had my monthly doctor's appointment on Feb 20th. Baby is measuring right on track, 22 and a half weeks. Strong heartbeat. :)
4. We bought our first baby item last weekend, a Graco jogger travel system (basically a stroller and infant car seat combo). Even Byron thinks it is pretty cool.
Due to popular demand, here is my latest bump photo, at 23 weeks. I will try to include my face sometime in the future. ;)
Here is me at 18 weeks so you can compare, I have been a slacker about posting these.

Grandma's Gender Reveal
On our trip home to visit in January we revealed the gender to the grandmas with a present in a gender neutral gift bag. We gave them "Grandma Brag Books" which contained a few ultrasound photos. Basically these are little 4x6 photo albums that were blue to show the gender.
Since this is my mom's first time being a grandma, I wanted to capture her reaction. The photos are below. She got distracted by the cute book and photos and I had to say "Mom....what color is the book?" The second photo is her reaction when the color blue clicked in her head. ;) For the record, I think we would have had the same reaction if it was a girl. She's very excited to be a grandma.

02.03.2013 - Halfway
20 weeks today which means halfway to the 40 week due date.
Baby must be celebrating because I woke up this morning feeling him move for the first time. It feels like little muscle twitches inside that get stronger and stronger.
It is undescribable how amazing it is to feel a little person moving inside you.
Can't wait until they are real kicks!

01.23.2013 - 2nd Trimester Anatomy Scan
We had our second trimester anatomy scan at 18.5 weeks on January 23rd.
The anatomy scan measures baby and looks at the essential organs to ensure they are all there and functional (brain, heart, kidneys, and liver). Also if baby is not being shy you can usually find out the gender at this appointment. And...its a boy!!
Everything looked great! We are so excited that he is healthy. During the scan he kept putting his hands to his mouth, it looked like he was trying to play a trumpet. The doctor said he is learning how to suck his thumb but hadn't figured it out yet.
We would have been equally happy with a boy or girl but personally I'm super excited that a little Byron will be on the way. I happen to think he is pretty great. =)
