Mystery Baby

Baby #3 is well on its way to joining our growing family! I'm due on March 16th and we are so excited!
The first 12-16 weeks were the usual horrible sickness weeks. Now I'm feeling pretty good, just super tired. I'm 22 weeks today and it's flying by!
We've had multiple sonograms.. The first and second appointments the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat with the doppler, so we went right over to check out the babe and everything looked great. The same thing happened with Abby's first sonogram! It's been super fun to see the changes in the baby each sonogram. Seriously, it's such a miracle! Heavenly Father knows just what he's doing.
We had a sonogram 3 weeks ago to find out if this babe is a He or a She, but IT didn't want to cooperate. Seriously it was the best sonogram ever. 30 minutes of a little personality shining though. He/she had their hand over the goods most of the time and the rest of the time it would put it's feet straight out and cross it's legs. It was so funny to see! So we go back on Thursday  (TWO DAYS) to try again and see what we find.
(Baby at 19 weeks)


Here is a fun video of when we first told the kids. Jared obviously had no idea what was going on and would much rather just play with his toes, but Abby was way excited! (She had just gotten her hair cut short, so thats why she said her last comment) Crank up the volume and enjoy a glimps into our life with our kiddos!

Our Little Monster is TWO!
























So this big guy turned two this month! Where has the time gone? We had a (not-so-small) gathering of family and those adopted into our family at the park to celebrate Jared's big day! It turned out great and it seemed like everyone had a great time, especially Jared!





Some things I love about this boy
-He is 100% on his own timing. Everything has to be done exactly when he wants to. He is now (FINALLY) talking like crazy and learning new words every day.
-Jared is the sweetest boy and the best little cuddle bug ever. He always finds time to come cuddle with me throughout the day. If I'm running around crazy, he comes and holds his hands up in front of me to make me slow down and hold him.
-Jared LOVES Abby. He is her little shadow. It drives Abby crazy sometimes, but she mostly loves him for it and is a great best friend to him.
-Jared loves Lightning McQueen, Nemo and Dory. If you ask him what movie he wants to watch (of even if you don't ask) he'll let you know he wants Cars or Finding Nemo
-Jared is strong willed. He still has a hard time going to nursery every Sunday. I'm pretty sure 1/4 of our ward is completely annoyed with us and wonders why we even try, but once he gets in there and calms down he does fantastic. (Major shout out to his amazing nursery leaders! I love them so much!)

If Jared could have spent his whole birthday blowing out candles, he totally would. He loves to do that! And now he asks all the time to blow out candles.

I love this boy so much! He makes it easy to want another boy even though I was terrified I'd only have boys since there are so many on the Johnson side. He is such a sweetie pie and makes us laugh constantly with those ridiculous dimples and hilariously infectious laugh.
He'll always be my "Baby J"! Please stop growing up so fast!
