Changing faces and Hotter N' Hell



So we got to see the little guy today and I am just in awe at how good the pictures have been turning out. So I made a collage of all the ultrasounds we have had thus far to compare the growth. I have one more scheduled before I deliver and I am worried his face isn't even going to fit in the frame. I really wish I had these 4D ultrasounds with Sofie because she came out looking a lot like me and I don't know if you agree but so far this little guy looks just like his dad. I think we are going to have another baby with lots of black hair (that's what Sofie had) because they saw hair on the ultrasound today. I am just getting so antsy to see him. Oh and if you have any great names you don't mind sharing we are still having a hard time in that department.




So I guess you can't keep a good man down. Spencer raced in Texas's biggest bike race of the year (TX is where Lance Armstrong is from FYI :)) and took 6th place in his bracket. I don't know if you would call me a good wife for supporting him in this after getting in 2 scary wrecks or if I am stupid but if there's one thing I've learned in 7 years of marriage it's that Spencer LOVES biking- so how can I take that away- (Plus I don't think he would listen anyways :)) So I just grin and bear it. But am I wrong to say that I really do like seeing him in spandex :)


It was a pretty cool race. Well you could actually do the race (100 K) or the ride (100 miles). Over 10,000 people signed up and I am sure more people rode that didn't sign up but I just thought after hearing the name of the race it wasn't going to be me- I don't know maybe I will change my mind when I am not 8 mo. prego. Anyways there were all sorts of people and bikes I had to take a pictures of some of them because they were just crazy. There was a 3 person tandem bike. A crazy tandem recumbent bike where one person was facing forward (luckily it was the person in the front) and one person was facing backwards (yea, she wasn't even pedaling she was just snapping photos- now that is the kind of ride I need).



I saw this little guy with training wheels and a whole bike get up and my Son's life flashed before my eye's- I am sure this is what Spencer is picturing our little man doing in like 4 years.- Aghh


At least let's hope that if this happens in the family it's me pulling the kids or else they are in it for the ride of their life (Spencer's Grandpa used to tell him all the time there is more than one speed- He has this crazy need for speed)




I just had to insert this Sunday activity Spencer does. He gets so stir crazy on Sunday- hey I say whatever works- I guess Sofie is getting into it too.

Why don't I get 4D ultrasounds every time I go to the doctor. That is awesome! He looks so cute! I can't wait to see him! Good job Spencer on the bike race, your the man! So, Zach has a little bike with training wheels and he can't get enough of it. If he falls off and crashes he just brushes it off and keeps riding. Too bad Dave's dream is for them all to have dirt bikes and motorcycles. I don't know if I could handle that.

That ultrasound is pretty crazy! How fun and you are getting so much closer:). Our bishop just did that same race--Spencer is a little nuts and it is so hot here in Texas!!

You're so lucky to be able to have so many ultra sounds and what a cute idea to do a collage. I can't wait to see this little guy. Congrats on the race Spencer!

ok....Spencer you are my hero, move over Lance Armstrong....Congratulations! Maybe some day you can put me on your team for the LOTJA!!! I will have to do some serious training, do you think I could do it with the bike trailer??? J/K Awsome pics of the little guy... Boston is so excited for a little ball player, he has shown signs of loving to ride his sisters tricycle, so perhaps they will like to bike together!

Love the 4D pics. He looks super cute already! I am super excited for your shower!! It should be fun. I think my Spencer would really like to get into biking but no money for a bike :( Someday!! I think it is good you support him.

Lacey said...

Love the ultrasound pictures- it's so fun to see his progression!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! I vowed that after Elodie I would never endure another pregnancy during the summer again! Addysen was a March baby and it was heaven!

Your baby boy does look a lot like Spencer. Congrats on having baby #2. Also, congrats to Spencer on the race. That is very cool. Dave wants to get into biking, but hasn't actually purchased a bike yet. He'll have to get some pointers from Spencer.

Dave is really enjoying ortho, but I am not enjoying his busy schedule. Luckily it will slow down soon. We like Iowa and are happy to be here for two years.

How much longer do you have? Are you starting to look for practice opportunities yet?

How fun to get such cool pictures before you get to meet the little guy. I wish you luck. Glad that Spencer's race turned out safe and well.

I am getting so excited for you to have your little guy. He looks so cute in the pictures. Congrats to Spencer. I love his passion for bikng. The need to race must be in our Johnson blood.

Thanks for calling the other day. I want to call you and get caught up, but things just haven't slowed down since I had Kali. My in laws are here now and Brett brother and familiy come tomorrow, but hopefully next week I'll call. I hope you survive your last few week of pregnancy. Love Ya

ok, those pictures freak me out. sorry, they do! I hope he looks a lot cuter when he comes out! I'm sure he will, but don't be hanging that collage up in the nursery if you want me to come visit you! I prefer post natal picts please!
