McKayla's 1st week

McKayla has had a great 1st week! She even slept for us last night which Mom and Dad very much appreciated!! She is a great eater and is up to 5 lbs. 8 oz. Still a tiny babe, but growing every day :-). We can't believe our little girl is already 1 week old...time is already going by so fast! We love her tiny hiccups and noises that we call mouse squeaks and she makes the cutest and funniest faces.

McKayla Sha Johnson

Our precious little girl came on September 2, 2008 at 10:11pm. She was 5lbs. 7 oz. and 17 1/2 inches long. She has a good amount of dark hair and blue eyes. She is absolutely wonderful and has already brought so much joy and light into our lives. Mom and baby are doing great!!

Baby Room

The room is done! Here are some pics...the blank wall is where we are going to put her name with wood letters...we just have to figure out what her name is ;-).

Update on the Little One

Well everything is going along well. The little babe's stress tests have come back great and she had gained a pound as of her last ultrasound (I was so proud of her!). We have another ultrasound next week and if she's still growing well then they'll let her stay in. As of right now the doctor is saying she's going to induce at 39 weeks...that means only 3 more weeks!!! We almost have the room done so I think we're about ready...it really has gone by fast though!
Love to all and we'll keep the updates coming :-)

Baby Showers!

We had our last baby shower this past weekend! They all have been so much fun and everyone was so incredibly generous. We can't express in words how grateful we are to have such love and support surrounding us and our little girl!!! I want to give a special shout out to those that planned the showers as well...my mom, Jacquelyn, Krissy, Jess, Kim, Ashley, Ruth, Kim, Julie, Michelle...they were all so much fun and so creative ;-).

The Nesting has Begun!

Sunday went like this...Todd goes to work and the baby room has carpet. Todd comes home and the baby room has nothing. Yes, I decided to rip up all the carpet in the baby's room (and yes, I did all of it myself...carpet,pad,tackstrip). For some reason I got it in my head that the baby needed everything fresh and new...I mean, really that new paint would look so good with some hardwood flooring! Todd was a great sport about it and told me he would get the new floor put in on Thursday...I really couldn't ask for a better hubby! I'll get pictures up next week...we should have the flooring, furniture and everything in there by then.

4th of July

I must say the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays...it just screams summer and I love summer! Todd got the day off this year which was sooo nice. We took Sadie for a hike with her friends Harry & Charlie, went to Todd's boss' house for a crawfish BBQ (no I did not partake in the crawfish) which consisted of 150 lbs. of crawfish, and went to the Simpson's for fireworks. It was a great day and we really enjoyed spending time together and w/ friends. As I watched the little kids running around all day I couldn't help but start thinking about how cute I'm going to dress our little girl next year...red,white,blue outfit and cute bows in her hair...oooo, I can't wait!
