Boy or Girl?

We have another Doctors appointment this Monday.(I'm Super-Duper excited, as is Cameron) Hopefully if our little baby isn't shy, we will be able to find out what we are having. I think it's a girl. Cameron thinks it's a boy. Anyone want to take a guess at what we are having???

Goodbye 1st Trimester

I'm officially 14 weeks today and feeling fabulous!!! One trimester down....two to go. Pregnancy has thus far been pretty uneventful for me. I've had the occasional morning sickness but nothing terrible. I am one lucky girl. I have noticed I'm tired more espically after work. I could easily get 12 hours of sleep every night and still feel like I got 8. I've only have one "true" craving so far and that would be Lay's potato chips. YUMMY! Most days its more of a battle of hmmmm...what sounds good to me at the moment(or better yets, what doesn't sound good) but never any strong cravings until a few days ago and Lay's potato chips were the ONLY thing I could think about. I have never wanted something so bad in my life. I felt like a crazy women. Too bad I don't crave something healthy like carrots or salad. Oh well, for now I will give in to whatever this little child desires.

Exciting News!

We are expecting our first baby in MAY!!!! Yes this post is a little late since most people already know about our exciting news. Better late than never right???? I'm already 13 weeks along and almost done with my first trimester. Time has just flown by.....here is a fun timeline of our pregnancy for those interested.

August 31- Cameron and I found out we were going to be parents. :)

October 4- We told my family conference Sunday while everyone was down at my parents house. They were all so excited and surprised we kept it a secret for so long. We gave everyone a binky with this saying attached: "Dear_____(each person's name) Please save this for me until MAY, i might need it when i come visit. Love, Baby Snyder."

October 5- We had our first Doctors appointment. This was such and exciting day! We got to see our cute little Grape sized baby on the ultrasound and see its little heartbeat. It made everything SO real. Cameron kept saying after we left "We have to wait 4 more weeks to come back and see it again? That's a long time" How cute huh???
We also told Cameron's parents that evening. We took over pictures of our summer vacation to show them and snuck some ultrasound pictures in with them. They were SO surprised and happy.

November 2- We had our 2nd Doctors appointment. This one was a little less eventful but still just as exciting. I've gained 3 lbs. since my first visit. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat with the little dopler machine. The Doctor also said the baby pushed back when he put the probe on my stomach. I couldn't feel it but apparently he could. Cameron got excited and is now determined that if he pushes the baby(gently of course) he will feel it move or kick or something. Again.....how cute huh???

I've been very blessed to have had such an easy pregnancy so far. I guess I'm like my mom in that way. (Thanks mom, lets just hope I have short labor like you too) I've been able to work full-time 7 days on/7 days off at the hospital. I go back to PRN(as needed) next week because I was just covering for another Physical Therapist. Cameron has been such a great husband. He comforts me when I have my emotional breakdowns for no reason and gets me snacks and juice. He loves putting his hand on my belly and gives the baby kisses all the time. He also calls it a boy. He always refers to it as a "he" Cam wants a boy so bad but will be happy if he gets a girl too. He's been such a cute and supportive husband, I know he will make and even better dad. We are so excited(and a little nervous) to be parents. We can't wait until May. I promise to be better at updating my blog with baby news!!!
