Mouse Pad

Matthew and I bought a computer desk so we could have a more comfortable place to work and we love it! Our computer is finally out of our bedroom! However, we realized we didn't have a mouse pad, and since we bought a wireless mouse it does not work without one. So we ordered a personalized one online and in the meantime we used the next best thing.
                               A cereal box!
Today we got our mouse pad in the mail. Look how great it turned out!

Sippy Cup

Matthew and I went to Toysrus and when I saw this cup I just had to get it so she can have it when she starts to drink anything other than her formula. :)

2 Months Old April 13th!

I'm a little late but Alexa is already 2 months old! Unfortunately, Alexa had to get her immunization shots so she was a little sore on the 13th. She cried while she was getting her 3 shots but as soon as the nurse was done Alexa was fine. She really was a good girl. On the upside Alexa can almost crawl already! Her legs move a lot, but her neck is still not strong enough to lift her head completely so when she crawls her head slides against the blanket haha. I know once her neck is strong enough to lift her head she will be scooting around the carpet in no time! That means daddy gets to vacuum more often yay! :) She can already sleep through the night! Her bedtime is at about 9:45 every night and she wakes up between 5 and 7 in the morning. I love this stage! We are so lucky to have such a great beautiful baby! She is so much fun!
I can't wait for summer time so she can go in the pool! :) Fun! Fun! Fun!

Alexa's First Easter

Alexa's first Easter was very fun! I got her ready in the morning and because it was cold we put on a long sleeve shirt and pants under her pretty dress.

After I got her ready and fed and in the car, Alexa and I drove to my Aunt's house to spend Easter with my family. Matthew had to work so it wasn't the same without him, but we still enjoyed the day.
It was fun day! Alexa got Easter presents and she went on an Easter egg hunt. She found 2 dollars! Later on she got hungry so Papa Jeff fed her some boo boo. While eating her dinner she experienced her first earthquake! She did very well considering it was a rolling one and not a shaking one. It kinda got me a little dizzy because it felt like I was on a ship.

After she was fed we came home so we could spend the rest of Easter with her daddy. :) We ate dinner and watched Sweet Home Alabama. After that movie we started to watch one of the Jurassic Park movies. I'm not sure which one it was, but I know it wasn't the first one. We watched it until the baby went down for the night because when you have a baby you need every little second of sleep you can possibly get. Especially when she hates her crib and usually only sleeps in mommy's and daddy's bed. :)

1 Month Old Today

Alexa is 1 month old today! I can't believe it has already been 4 weeks since I had her. She is growing up so fast! She can already sleep through the whole night without waking up mommy and daddy. :)

She can hold her own bottle.
















And she loves taking baths!

Alexa Makenzie Johnson was born! 2/13/10

Saturday, February 13th at 2:00 am I woke up to what I though was peeing haha. I hate to say that but that's what I though it was so I got up and went to the bathroom. While I was in there I noticed that it wasn't pee that I did because it had a red tinge to it. I thought that it could be that my water just broke but I was only 36 weeks and 5 days along so I wasn't positive. I had the doctor paged and when she called me back I told her what had happened and she said that I should go to the Emergency to make sure everything is ok. So I woke Matthew up and he was really surprised. We got our things together and arrived at the hospital at around 3:00 am. They checked me in and said that my water broke and that I was going to have the baby that day! Matthew and I were shocked! I wasn't even 37 weeks yet and I was about to have my daughter! I was supposed to go to work that day and the crib and dresser were suppose to arrive at my house that day as well. We didn't have anything ready for her to come home to because her baby shower was going to be the next Saturday. It was crazy! My baby was about to be born before her shower! Apparently I had contractions but couldn't feel them. The Nurse was very surprised how high my pain tolerance was. It wasn't until after I got the IV that I felt my contractions and even then I got the epidural right after so I still didn't feel them to the point that I was in huge amounts of pain. The epidural wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It felt like a pinch and before I knew it, it was done. I felt great after that! My legs were super numb. I was dilated 1 centimeter for a really long time. It wasn't until it was 1 or 2 in the afternoon that I was 2-3 dilated. Then and hour and a half later I jumped to 7 centimeters! At 5:30 I was the full 10 centimeters! Time to push! I wasn't scared or nervous but I was excited to finally see my baby! I pushed for an hour and she was born at 7:04 pm. She weighed 7 lbs and 12 oz and was 19 1/2 in. long. She was beautiful! She cried as soon as she came out and I cried too because I was so happy to have her here! Matthew got watery eyes he said and he saw the whole show and cut the umbilical cord and he did not even get grossed out by anything! I was proud of him. :) It was a day to remember! Holding her in my arms that day was the best reward and moment that I will always cherish!
