Hello family! My name is Jayce Brian Johnson. I'm two days old already! This new world is a little different, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. My Dad says I am a fast learner just like him...He also tells me it took Mom 23 hours to get me out. Believe me, I was tryin' my best. Mom was so brave, she was so patient and calm. When I came out, Daddy did something I wasn't too happy with...he cut our embilical cord. When the doctor tried pulling me away I had no choice but to grab back onto the cord and hang on! I didnt feel quite ready to leave Mom's tummy...Mommy and Daddy sure love me though. They wrap me up tight...kiss me all the time...Mom even feeds me. She is so patient...its so hard to learn all these new things. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to eat. I'm slowly catching on to this sucking thing...
We got to come home today. Dad was a bit nervous to drive with me in the car...but we made it safe and sound. Home...a little different than my last home. Still, its warm, cozy, and I can still feel the peaceful feelings the Spirit brings. Sometimes I miss my real home...so many friends and family there. Sometimes I dream about Heavenly Father and Mother...I remember them assuring me my daddy and mommy here on earth would take very good care of me. They said I was coming into a marvelous family...lots of different grandmas and grandpas...lots of cousins...aunts and uncles...even puppies! Its so comforting to know they all love me. I am so grateful for their love. Last night I even got to sleep in Great Grandma Joy's arms...
I am real excited to meet everyone. I hope I can learn from everyone's great examples...I hope I can grow up real strong and serve a mission one day. Dad keeps telling me I have to learn chinese...he even gave me a chinese name! Sounds a bit weird, but he says the translation means little flying dragon. He says maybe one day I can serve a mission in China...
Mom thinks I got her hair...lots of dark hair...she also hopes I keep my blue eyes like Daddy...Dad doesnt share the same optimism. Dad gave me small lips and big hands...it looks like I got mommy's nose. I feel great all over...I feel so blessed that nothing went wrong. Heavenly Father is kind...
Hope everyone can come and see me. Mom gets tired...she likes to take naps with me...Dad's got big circles under his eyes...
Love you all!
