Not anything too crazy though, thank god. Last time I posted, I was ready to start losing weight and get my life back on track. Well, it seems like I was ready. I have lost 20 pounds since then! I look and feel great. I still have a large goal, 14 pounds by November 21 and then 20 after that by January 15. It's a lot to lose, but I am ready to lose it. I just want to be "healthy" enough to have another baby. We have been talking about it and we want to start trying again when Robert turns 2. That way they will be just far enough apart that they will still be able to be friends. I have a great relationship with my brother and want that for my kids. <br />Wes is doing great. Staying really busy at work. He is doing a great job of juggling work and our family. A lot of cops have a hard time doing that. By now a lot of families start going through hardships. Ours is staying strong and only getting stronger.<br />Robert, well, he now officially a big boy. He is walking, talking, and is everywhere. He says about 10 words clearly and appropriatley. A few others that are hard to understand, but he will help you understand them by pointing at whatever he is talking about. He is so smart too. He loves to learn. He will work with something until he knows how to get it. He is very strong willed though. He loves to get his way and if he doesn't, WOW does he get a little attitude. He is my little man, and as time goes on, I still can't believe that he is mine!The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-48541421621067271382009-04-07T21:56:00.001-07:002009-04-07T22:02:52.131-07:00Hopefully this will motivate me some...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylsj3N4EbNoPC2jcZpjutXu7fsCbDd8sHY80w65VLTNsRlv6PqDszdJ1JLemiYIDtfuP05JgQm4CfrNh5K0xn5pejIr1YUhxMZi-md9HbsAhfeunjS2GIOJq792NDuYiS0LItcaHNju0/s1600-h/Cave+174.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjylsj3N4EbNoPC2jcZpjutXu7fsCbDd8sHY80w65VLTNsRlv6PqDszdJ1JLemiYIDtfuP05JgQm4CfrNh5K0xn5pejIr1YUhxMZi-md9HbsAhfeunjS2GIOJq792NDuYiS0LItcaHNju0/s320/Cave+174.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322180506667086338" border="0" /></a><br />Before Robert: I was 179, wearing a size 10-12.

Even though I have a lot on my mind, just spiritually I am happy. Robert is doing so much better than he was last week, he is so happy and playful. He loves waving and saying "buh bye." And he is always wanting his "Mama." He is so sweet too, specially when he first wakes up. He loves to just be held and lay on my shoulder. He is trying to walk too. He walks along the couch and tables. It's so cute because he still is a little wobbly. But it's so nice to see him feeling well, I haven't seen this part of him in such a long time. He has the personality of his daddy. I am debating whether or not I want to stay home with him. I would love to be a stay at home mom, but at the same time I love working. I love what I do and I love the people that I work with. I have though quit school for now. I need to be with my family and take care of things at home first. I plan on going back after August. Just with all the stuff going on with the baby, I need to be here for him. Anyways, just needed to get this out.The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-81717659397080329832009-04-03T06:08:00.000-07:002009-04-03T06:25:36.589-07:00What the HELL is going on with my child?I'm beyond stressed out these days. Between having to quit school, in fear of losing my job, and watching my little boy get sick every week, I don't know how I make it through the day. So this past week has been a HORRIBLE week. Robert has been to the doctor 2 times already and the ER once. Last Friday I picked him up from school and he was very sleepy, he had been asleep all day and when he was awake he just wanted to lay on the teachers. That is far from normal for him. I have the type of child who refuses to sleep at school. So I had noticed for a few days that he had been pulling on his ears. So I took his temp and he had a low grade fever. No need to rush to the doctor, just took him on Saturday. Well he was acting great on Saturday. He was laughing and having a good time. So the doctor took some blood tests and his white blood cell count came back high. Normal is 15,000 and his was 22,000. Now I'm freaking out. Just the week before he was put on meds for a bacterial infection. He was on meds for 10 days. So his WBC shouldn't had been high. The doctor had no idea what was going on. He gave him a shot of an antibiotic and a presciption for a new med. So, he takes the new meds on Sunday, and 4 hours later vomits EVERYWHERE. So I called the nurse and they told me to try again the next morning. Well I do, and again he vomits. So we stayed home Monday and stayed on the phone with the doctor to try and figure things out. And he was taken off the meds and I was told to watch him. Well he does GREAT on Tuesday. Back to his old self. Now Wednesday rolls around. I woke him up and took his temp. He had a low grade fever. No biggie, just gave him Mortin and kept him home for a few hours to make sure that it stays down. So at 11 I sent him to school. He had no fever and was wonderful. I went on to work and when I picked him up at 5:00 he had a 104.2 temp. We took him straight to the ER. They run every test possible and we are there for 6 hours. Well, everything came back clean. They said it's viral and to do a Motrin/Tylenol cocktail every three hours. And they gave him a supository to help break the fever. It seems to work. YEAH! I start to get a glimmer of hope. Well, he was asleep all day and I figured that just came from the night before. So at 9:00pm I wake him up and give him a bath and I noticed that he was burning up. So I took his temp. 103.2!!!! What the hell??? I refused to go back to the ER. So I just the Tylenol/ Motrin thing through the night and I took his temp at 8:30 this morning. It was 101.3. So it went down, but it wasnt gone. Now I am freaking out. I don't want to take him back to the doctor because I dont want to overreact. But at the same time I want to know what is going on. I need answers. I havent gotten a firm answer and this kind of stuff has been going on since October.

I was confident enough to go to a baseball game in shorts and a tight shirt. I was very happy and my self-esteem was high. I felt like I looked "normal."<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">OK</span>, so I have been working out pretty well (except for this week because I had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">tonsillitis</span>). Anyways, I was able to make it back to the gym tonight and for once I tried running a whole mile without stopping. And much to my surprise it would have been a good 12 minute mile, which for me is good considering I am more of a "fast" walker than a runner. Anyways, about half way through the last 1/4 mile, I got into a horrible coughing spell. I ended up having to quit and go back home because I was coughing so hard I ended up peeing on myself. It was horrible. Having had a baby really messed up my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">peeing muscles</span>. But I was really upset. I have goals set for myself. I was hopping that wouldn't happen tonight. I could feel it coming on and I thought that the water would ease it. But it just got worse. OMG, I hope that I get over this crap soon. I am ready to get back on track. But I have been doing really well with one thing. My diet, I have done so well sticking to it and staying away from sweets. I have shrank my stomach so much that I can only eat a few bites of my meals before I get full. Wes is enjoying it though, he gets all my left overs. He is my human garbage disposal. But he is wanting to gain weight, where as I want to lose it. So it works out. I just eat smaller portions, and he gets double the portions. But he enjoys grilled foods and isn't huge about fried foods. So that helps me too. Now our biggest thing is to stop eating out every night. I am going grocery shopping tomorrow and getting everything we need for the next week. And what is even better is that Wes wont be home Monday and Tuesday night, so I can tuna fish and salad. He hates tuna fish. And then I can make a home made grilled chicken salad the next night. I don't want to lose a certain number of "pounds," but rather I want to just look healthy again. Before I had Robert I weighed 179, but I was a size 10. I was that size through out high school. So if I could just get back there, that would be great. I have always been considered big when it came to pounds, but when it came to the way that I looked, I have been considered to look healthy. And I know that I will never be "tiny." But I just want to look good and look attractive.The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-21097914230681285412009-03-07T07:45:00.000-08:002009-03-07T12:41:22.868-08:00YEAH it's already March, and it's great! Life is great! I do have some downs, but I am trying to look on the positive of it all. Robbie is doing great great great! He is 8 months old now and is becoming such a big boy.Although he has been sick the past week with RSV you can't hardley tell unless you hear him breathing. Poor bug sounds horrible. But he is CRAWLING FORWARD finally. He started about a month ago. And I will tell you this, he is on the move now. We had to put baby gates up and next weekend I have to baby proof the house. 5f ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mhjnmkhhjyjtxcryfvu (Robbie says "Hi!") Anyways, I'm doing well. Now that it's warm again I have started doing 5Ks again. Yesterday I did the March of Dimes Shamrock fitness walk. And in April I am doing the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure in support of my mom who is a Breast Cancer Survivor. And in October I am doing the Three day walk which is 60 miles (I have a lot of prepping to do for that one). Again that is in support of my mom. It's in Tampa, so itll be a small vacation. Anyways, school is going really well. I am doing good considering how hectic life can get. Work, well other than the flu going around (Thank God I havent gotten it) not too bad. Just busy. Wesley is doing really great. He has been sick, but other than that, great. He is staying really busy at work and he is really enjoying his job. And he did get cut loose back in January. So he driving on his own without someone there to tell him what to do. Well, that is it for now. SEE YA!The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-67301800608351318522009-01-19T08:13:00.000-08:002009-01-19T08:33:43.227-08:00The New YearWell, here it is 2009, and I dont have a whole lot of plans just yet. I do plan on however losing 30 pounds. I just want to look like I did before I had the baby. Nothing major, just a better self esteem. I have started by making one big change, I no longer drink sodas although I could use some serious caffine right about now. <br />Family life is going great. I am back in school, Robert has two teeth, and Wes couldn't be happier. <br />Robert is getting so big, every day seems to bring new changes. I can't believe that in about 4 months I will be planning his first birthday. He has already said his first word, and believe it or not, I won, he says "momma". And its "momma" all day long. Oh my gosh is he busy too. Constantly on the move. If he is on the floor he is into everything. He crawls, backwards... he hasnt quite learned how to push himself forward yet. But he is getting there. If he gets stuck against something, he pushes off of it and turns himself so that he can move again. I have to keep a major eye on him now. If not everything will end up in his mouth. Having a baby is a busy job, but I wouldn't change it for the world. <br />Im doing well, like I said Im back in school. I am about to transfer from a tech college to a university. Im nervous about it, its going to be a lot more work. But in the end its going to be well worth it. I am however changing my major. I want to be a regular ed teacher. I am burnt out on special ed. Even though my job is rewarding, after doing it for so long, my nerves just can't take it anymore. Plus the politics of it and even more stressful. Work is going really well though. I have a differnt state of mind when Im there. Im there for the kids and nothing else. I put my other feeling aside and do my job. Speically since it's so hard to find another one. I know Im safe there and I dont want to jeopardize that. <br />Wes is doing GREAT! He is in his last week of training and he is so excited. Starting next week he will be on his own doing his own thing. I see such a spark in his with the job. He doesn't get up dreading his day anymore like he did with his old job. He comes home with a million and one stories and even though some days are not a busy as the others, he is still loving it. Im so proud of him too. He has pursued his dreams and everyday they are coming true.The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-63189417177027154992008-12-10T09:12:00.000-08:002009-01-19T08:49:08.846-08:00I am going to miss her.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4c2cJJ3ffOahcRwHF9DB3lja7e4yE7ODSbnCh6EnmHIndWJcb65b7jBZpt1vC3aP8K9G7EiHSYT1urViixGXIGMoHxo-pJrhM2QiBYRxt4td3VmHo0k7Uoh2eBpQHgI3yXc9KjmDZn74/s1600-h/April+106.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293044111545804898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4c2cJJ3ffOahcRwHF9DB3lja7e4yE7ODSbnCh6EnmHIndWJcb65b7jBZpt1vC3aP8K9G7EiHSYT1urViixGXIGMoHxo-pJrhM2QiBYRxt4td3VmHo0k7Uoh2eBpQHgI3yXc9KjmDZn74/s320/April+106.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Well, here it is December and Christmas is right around the corner. I am really looking forward to it this year. Except for one thing, I dont know if everyone knows, but my Grandmother passed away on Friday. I was really close to her and I am going to miss her a lot. She was a wonderful person. She was very strong and was not afraid to tell you how it is. She was born and raised in Holland, and moved to the states when she was a young lady. She was so in love with my Grandpa. Everyone has always said that they acted like newlyweds. I never saw them mad at each other one time. She did everything for him, and he kissed the ground that she walked on. To see them together was like watching a fairytale, with a lot of comedy in it. They had 3 boys, 3 grandsons, 1 grand-daughter, and one great grandson. My grandmother loved animals, she was on the Board of Directors for the Angel Dog Rescue in Eufaula, AL. She would do anything for a animal in need. She was a wonderful woman, and I am going to miss our hour long talks every few weeks. I love you Grandma, I miss you.</div>The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-63076468544794706162008-11-24T09:23:00.000-08:002008-11-24T09:26:05.408-08:00Happy Thanksgiving to EveryoneI know it's a few days early, but I won't have time to tell everyone on Thanksgiving. I will be in Alabama with my family. I hope that everyone enjoys all the fixings and whom ever you are spending it with. What are you thankful for? I am thankful for my life. I have learned to live each day to the fullest and remember what matters the most. To me that is my family. If it weren't for them I dont know who I would be. I love being a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, etc.The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-6940874001232984082008-11-11T16:16:00.000-08:002008-11-11T16:50:17.327-08:00November and ALOT going onHere it is November. Life is going okay, but I wish that somethings could be different. I am realizing my faith in the lord and how strong I need him. After somethings have happened I know that he is really the only one that I can talk to. I am not going to church, but I hope to soon. I am a very shy person and hate meeting new people by myself. But I am realizing that is just what is going to happen. I really want Robert in church, and even though he is too young to even know what is going on I think that it will be a good place for us. And hopefully that once I start going I can show Wes that as a family, it's where we need to be.<br />I am starting to doubt myself. Wes is living this high life that is fast paced and a dream come true for him. Don't get me wrong I am very proud of him and support him to the fullest. But I feel like I just can't keep up. He is always at the gym, and I can't seem to find the time to go myself. I can go, but I don't trust the daycare that they have there. There are big kids running and jumping all over the place and it's just not baby friendly. And specially after Robert spent 3 days in the hospital because of something that he got from another child, I just don't want to go through that again. But I feel like my dreams are now on the back burner. I work all day and then have to come home and take care of the baby all by myself. I do plan on going back to school in January and my neighbor (God Bless Her!!!) is going to keep him for 4 hours twice a week so I can go back. I am totally excited about it. But will it be too much for Robert? I know that it was my choice to be a mom, and I love it completely, but sometimes I think I asked for it too soon. OH WELL!!! It was my choice and I have to figure it out.<br />Robert is doing awsome. He is so grown up at only 4 months old. I can't believe how time flies. He is such a happy little boy. He is teething, no teeth yet, but I see them is our near future. He is rolling over, sitting up, and best of all he can hold his own bottle (when he is not being lazy). He is sleeping in his own bed finally too. Even though its so far away from me (just one room over... I know so far, but when they have been in the bed with you since day one, that is a long ways away.) He loves peek a boo, and loves tickles. He is eating baby food, bananas are his favorite. We are hoping to invest in a walker soon. He definatley a mover. He loves to sit with you and just chat. Especially with his MiMi. <br />Wesley is doing great. As I mentioned, he is living his dream. He comes home every night so excited about everything that he has done. And yeah he has his bad nights that he is just bored out of his mind, but the next night always seems to make up for it. He loves being a dad. Every time he has Robert I just see this sparkle in him. Specially when Robert laughs, Wes always wants him to do it more. They make it all worth while.<br />I know that I might complain about things in my life, but in the end when my day is all done, all I have to do is look at my son, and look at my husband, and then take a look up at God, and I know my life is what it is supposed to be right now. And trust me I know it could be A LOT worse.The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-91434013766278044892008-10-21T19:00:00.000-07:002008-10-21T19:10:00.727-07:007 Random ThingsOk Leza this is for you!<br /><br /><a href="http://thestrayerohana.blogspot.com/2008/10/7-random-things.html">7 random things....</a><br />1. I am a total Country music buff. Growing up, its all I was pretty much able to listen to.<br /><br />2. I love Army Wives. Even though Im not one, I know many of them. But I think that a cop's wife comes in a close second with an Army wife.<br /><br />3. I dont like wine. The only thing that I will drink is Bud Light and Miller Chill. So if I show up, have your fridge packed for me!<br /><br />4. I want to own a farm! I know I know, what a dream. But I have always dreamt of having a few acers of land with a couple of horses and a cute little country cottage in the middle of no where.<br /><br />5. I would love to be in the military again. Everyday I think about why I got out, and I totally regret it. But the past is the past and God had other plans for me.<br /><br />6. I love being a mom. After 2 years of wanting a baby and thinking that I couldnt have one, God blessed me with a wonderful baby boy who looks and acts just like his daddy (OH NO!!!).<br /><br />7. I love my friends. And the two closest to me and the farthest away from me. They changed my life in so many ways. And I consider them more of my family than my friends. I love you Leza and Christa. I cant wait to see yall again some day!The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-46530060629635137392008-10-21T18:49:00.000-07:002008-10-21T18:58:00.222-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpTtTFij3lJZxGyekF0QR1PI6Vm_eLOYP-c_6GXrkYqgUwT3oMjLvewYV7gQ973EXbxOn5547wpP9uOjq1HtALFGsccwBv5gET0GBXemJeeg76xuZj9xS1FBWONr_RoyhYOk_7Vu7m_08/s1600-h/Wes'sBadge+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259791424571384226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpTtTFij3lJZxGyekF0QR1PI6Vm_eLOYP-c_6GXrkYqgUwT3oMjLvewYV7gQ973EXbxOn5547wpP9uOjq1HtALFGsccwBv5gET0GBXemJeeg76xuZj9xS1FBWONr_RoyhYOk_7Vu7m_08/s320/Wes'sBadge+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Here it is October already. Robert is almost 4 months old. My how time flies. He is such a wonderful little boy. Definatley a handful, but still a wonderful blessing to my life. He is so big. He now weighs almost 14 pounds. And his personality is definatley blooming. He is a very talkative baby. Specially with his daddy. When he hears Wes talking he just goes nuts and starts babbling like crazy. He is loving daycare. He really developed once he got used to it. He loves to stand still and play in his excersaucer. Our biggest issue is sleeping. He thinks he belongs in the bed with mommy. But that is starting to change. We are working on getting him in his crib. </div><br /><div>I am doing well. I am looking for a new job to make more money. Dont get me wrong, I love my job, but the pay sucks. I am loving being a mom. There definatley is no greater gift.</div><br /><div>Wes is now an official Savannah Metro Police officer. So watch out if you are in town!!! He loves it too. He is working an odd shift right now, and its something that I have to get used to. Its the one that I really wont get to see too much of him. But that is ok, it will get better. Life is great and I couldnt ask for it to be better!</div>The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-47810701009645421752008-08-21T21:43:00.000-07:002008-08-21T21:50:59.182-07:00A Few Changes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOieFCFDoJVlHiloqqIRJ9TRWzpOpHWVM7ua7fZ9PGmTMB11MHJhZ26dXcq7FXOwQvUnPTtey4AI_9MsVeZQzdiCxmoILk5dSwoF7JApBUOmDzoi0wDi72MwMLrY8QDQgm1-_3tkIkk7I/s1600-h/gunshow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237199997257855570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOieFCFDoJVlHiloqqIRJ9TRWzpOpHWVM7ua7fZ9PGmTMB11MHJhZ26dXcq7FXOwQvUnPTtey4AI_9MsVeZQzdiCxmoILk5dSwoF7JApBUOmDzoi0wDi72MwMLrY8QDQgm1-_3tkIkk7I/s320/gunshow.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well, we are about to make a few changes, and I am super nervous about them. Robbie starts school on Monday the 25th. I know it will be good for him, and me. But after having him every day for the past 8 weeks, it will still be hard. I go back to work on the 28th. I am really looking forward to it. We get a whole new set of kids with a whole new set of challenges. It will keep me busy. Wesley is graduating in the 12th of Sept. He is really looking forward to that. His dream will finally come true. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard to get to this point. Well that is it. Wish us luck!!!</div>The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-14308752200268449072008-08-11T09:45:00.000-07:002008-08-11T10:38:40.678-07:00Trying Something New<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOR8ZO33jCxf2XPhzZAiLST370Pr-mnkL7TYGwhGr6sZHzmqmuDpoIhyphenhyphenjbz4GrLaWfsl640BAtoGEk_t6uMlpF1-dfoNq47QOkmbr1r4S_exC025xp3cFUXfpAZnKD5CsdeBbzSradnIg/s1600-h/Robert+021.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233315909568129634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOR8ZO33jCxf2XPhzZAiLST370Pr-mnkL7TYGwhGr6sZHzmqmuDpoIhyphenhyphenjbz4GrLaWfsl640BAtoGEk_t6uMlpF1-dfoNq47QOkmbr1r4S_exC025xp3cFUXfpAZnKD5CsdeBbzSradnIg/s320/Robert+021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I started this blog a long time ago, but never really kept up with it. But now with a new baby, it might be a good idea. Anyways, we have extended our family and welcomed a new baby boy on June 29, 2008. His name is Robert Michael. He is definatley a gift from God. After being told that we wouldn't be able to conceive a child naturally without any fertility treatments, we proved the doctors wrong.<br />Robert is wonderful. He is a good mix of both me and Wesley, although he does favor his daddy more. He weighed 8lbs. 10oz. and was 21 in. Unfortunatley though we had some feeding problems and he lost almost a whole pound after birth. So I ended up having to breast feed and formula feed, which we ended up just formula feeding. He is now a whooping 10lbs+ at a month and a half old. He is so strong too. From the moment he was born, he was holding his head up and checking out the world. And now, he loves to stand and kick. And watch out when he gets mad, you might get a black eye.<br />Unfortunatley I am not going to be a stay-at-home mom. I have to go back to work. Robert will be starting daycare at a wonderful little place about a block from my house. I got a chance to visit it, and everyone seems real nice. I am going to have a hard time leaving him at first, but I will adjust.<br />Well me and Wes are doing great. Wes is in the middle of the police academy and is loving every minute of it. He is graduating in September. For him this is definatley a dream come true. I am still working at the school as a paraprofessional. I am excited about this school year because I get a whole new set of kids and a whole new set of challenges.</div>The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267201965960514621.post-61432514587239090142007-02-25T08:25:00.000-08:002007-02-25T08:26:25.427-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqe0nn1b_ki-QPcYmpWGHFR2D1_HK6ersxXB2LOIjOSdq-N03hEBrM-zcPx7MnecsolKamEc5JV6WqXpWoAls2WAYe2Hhnw8J5fr0Ga-OWjee-QlACZAtHy8wkXE_5dA8fk8T5iPY1tYA/s1600-h/christmas.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5035508904189466306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqe0nn1b_ki-QPcYmpWGHFR2D1_HK6ersxXB2LOIjOSdq-N03hEBrM-zcPx7MnecsolKamEc5JV6WqXpWoAls2WAYe2Hhnw8J5fr0Ga-OWjee-QlACZAtHy8wkXE_5dA8fk8T5iPY1tYA/s320/christmas.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br />2-25-2007Well after 6 Years and a few months together I feel like we are starting to feel some tension building up and we are starting to get too comfortable with one another. We bicker a lot more. But we still don't get into major argurments. Don't get me wrong I know that we love each other and that we will never split up. But I just want those butterflies back. Anyways, we have 3 gorgeous animals that we treat as if they were our real children. And we love everyone of them and could never replace them. One is Toby. Well Tobias. He is the king of the roost. He makes sure that everyone is in line. We have put our heart and souls into him. And I have cried many tears over him. Then there is Maggie. The goofy little Boston Terrier. She is a total momma's girl and we wouldnt have it anyother way. She is spoiled and gets whatever she wants. Then there is Miss Kitty. The true queen of the roost. We have had her for 4 years now and hope to have her for many many more. She is our #1 girl. We just recently got our first house. We have done so much work to it and made it our home. Its a 3BR 2Bath house wiith a nice size living room and kitchen with an attached dinning area. We still have to finish the cabinets. We have no cabinet doors or drawers. Well that is it for now.<br /></div>The Johnson Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03316736272603315819noreply@blogger.com0
