  Started Fall semester, wondering if we would both survive with a newborn, kept running along, cut my hair..couldn't decide if I liked it, belly grew even bigger!
October
   Due date comes and goes, spent hours bouncing on stability ball, got induced, had a baby, welcomed Hazel Rae Johnson into the world and into our family. The best day ever!
