27 weeks

This past weekend I went with my sister and niece to the beach for a cheerleading competition my sister's niece was in. It was only for a few days but I had fun; anytime with my niece is entertaining. Tori, my niece is so excited for Baby Snider. She loves giving my stomach a hug and telling me how big I am getting. When she gives me a goodbye kiss, Baby gets one too :) This past weekend it was nice weather and the squad we went to support won. It made starting this week at work not seem so bad. This coming weekend Matt & I are meeting our friends Kristen & Troy for another weekend at the beach. I only hope it is the same great weather but either way it will be fun and relaxing - just what we need!

Mommy & Baby are still doing good. Baby moves around a whole lot more now. I guess this will continue with each week/month but it is so neat.. I can feel him roll completely around, lay on one side and my books said that he would start having hiccups this week and you could feel them.. and I do! They are constant for a few minutes and in rhythmic order. I think that is so amazing! Matt has even noticed that the kicks are getting bigger and harder; which of course means Baby is getting bigger. My weight is gaining gradually; 20lbs total now. My sweet cravings at night time I know need to slow down a little but I truly can't help it. Matt continues to tell me "If I am hungry then he is hungry" so needless to say Mommy & Baby get what they want! :) It is a completely new feeling being hungry ALL the time, BUT I will enjoy it for now and worry about it later.

No new updates on the nursery. We are still waiting for the furniture to get here. Crib has been shipped so hopefully in the next week it will get here and we can start putting that together.
