Dash-a-million

Long time I know. It's not like I sit at home all day and take care of Dash! He is not 9 weeks 3 days old. Oh how I love him. Everyday he turns into this little person and has such a funny personality. One minute he is the happiest baby, next he is so EMO! I love him too much. He weighs 13 lbs, and is 24 inches long. My oh my is he getting so big. Before I know it he'll be a year. Life is good at the Johnstons we are finishing up all the planning of our wedding on August 28 and we are so excited! I am preparing to go back to work in September and bring this little guy with me and it will be so much fun having him there! I just hope it all works out.

So far we have been blessed with Lyla Marie, Layla Marie, and Boston Graham. My sister Emily has Lyla that is four months old, Cam's sister in law has Layla that is two weeks old, and my brother Alex has Boston that is one week old. Dash has lots of cousins to play with! My mom moved to draper last weekend and I am pretty sad about it. She is my best friend and she lived on the same street as us basically. It is hard going from five minutes away to an hour away. We still talk everyday but it isn't the same by any means. Well I am off to do dishes, keep the housewife alive!!! God is good and thank him for everything.

Please welcome Dash Camron Johnston!!

Here is my son, Dash Camron Johnston. It was the best 16 hours of labor! We went in friday night about 7:30 and I had him Saturday at 10:09. He was 8lbs 1oz and 21in long! AND he was three weeks early. I know how to grow em :) we've been home for 4 days now and he has jaundice and has to stay under the billi lights. It is so hard for me because I can only take him out to feed and change him. I miss him all the time. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout this amazing time. We are truely blessed with a perfect baby. A baby proves that God lives and he is around us all the time. I am thankfull for my family and my husband. We are just so happy! God bless!

Any day now...

I am now 36 weeks pregnant. How fast did that time fly? I can't believe it is almost the 6th month of the year. Honestly I thought time was supposed to creep by as a youngin' but it just seems to change before my eyes. I am soooo very uncomfortable, moody, and hormonal. I feel bad for Cam but most days I believe he brought the wrath upon himself. We were married a week ago! We became husband and wife on May 14, 2009. In a quiet ceremony only attended by close family. We decided to do so before the baby to make life a bit easier. Less headache and questions asked once we have little.... DASH. There I said it. His weird little action verb for a name. I've tried calling him other names like Trapper or Tripp. But Dash seems to just fit. I hope his name will fit him. And I hope he doesn't curse us one day for naming him that. If so he can get a name change. Little fact... my parents changed my name when I was still a babe. They named me Eli. Instead of Ellie. So my birth certificate has 2 pages to it. Thanks parents! Anyways I'm honestly thinking one more week until his arrival. I constantly contract and I know its just my body getting ready for this. So I am superwoman this whole week. I clean and organize the hell out of my house. I just don't know what to do with my doggies. Eh I'll worry about that some other time. I don't have anything really to talk about. Its just nice to... speak.

A good song to listen to is by JJ Grey and Mofo called I believe. Its a good one. It helps me with my daily struggles. For instance when a resident compliments on how "huge" I am ... I rip his head off. He didn't mean any harm but just because I am pregnant doesn't mean people can have diarrhea of the mouth and say whatever they want. Well I am going to snuggle with ChaCha and we're going to watch a movie. Hopefully the next time I blog it will be about my beautiful son.

God blessed me with this day to live. I am therefore thankful for all eternity.

It's getting better all the time!

Alot of you don't get to see me on a day to day basis so this is for you! In there is a really cool little boy with a cool name I have yet to decide on!

Life is so good!

The sun is shining and I am still here to enjoy it. I am 7 months along now and getting ever so big! This little boy in my belly is quite the little ninja. But I love him and the heartburn. Today I had an epiphony. I am going to be a grown up. With kids, a job, and a husband. The only thing missing is that white picket fence. Oh well my car/truck infested house is still awesome! I love Camron more than anything and I am so happy we found eachother and god is letting us show our love by having a beautiful little boy named Baby. I am still unsure about Dash. I really like the name Smith or Gray. Smith Camron Johnston. Gray Sevy Johnston. Let me know what you guys think! Life is good and I am blessed. Today is a gift from God so make sure to thank him for it! I love yall!

And we shall call him DASH!

I forgot I even had a blog. I forgot to forget. Pregnancy Brain is thee worst! We went to the Dr. and sure enough it was a boy. Our little Dash Camron. I knew it was a boy before we even went in. I did have my heart set on having a girl. But there isn't much I can do about it now except for cry. Which I do randomly at baby clothing stores when I see little girl clothes. I am happy and coming to terms. I do love him so much and can feel him doing his water aerobics inside my belly. It is the most amazing feeling in the world! I will be sitting and relaxing and all of a sudden I feel this little "pop, pop" its just my little boy letting me know he is just being a ninja.

I am not as nauseous as I used to be, but I do throw up still. Now its only once or twice a week. Which is such a load of crap! Everyone says it goes away, well ahem let me tell you it SO does not! I also need to get on the maternity clothes bandwagon, so far I have refused and been somewhat able to get away with it. PSSHT not lately! I am so happy and forgetful now a days but life is good! God bless you all, most importantly do not forget your family.

Ellie and Dash

He finally asked the question!

It was the big one. The one I've been waiting for! No it wasn't, "what color of manolo blahniks would you like?" Camron James Johnston asked me to marry him last night. He is amazing!! Everyday we eat our Christmas calendar chocolate countdown. So last night he was like oh here babe don't forget todays date, I opened the square and there was my ring! He asked me and immediately I said yes. We are so happy. I have a great man in my life, a baby on the way, and I am in good health. How could I be so lucky? I look at how my life has changed in just one short year. I went from being devastated and alone to being filled with love in my life. Our families are thrilled that it is finally going to happen! Anyways next week on the 23rd I go to the doctor and we might be able to tell what the sex of the baby is. HOPEFULLY AHHHHHH! I am pretty sure it will be a stinky boy. No matter what I will love you little butterbean! Ok bye!
