Snells... Doing what we do best

Caleb has a theory that in the Snell genes there is a specific mutation which kills off anything with XY chromosomes, therefore disallowing any possibility of producing a male heir.

He may be right.

It's a GIRL!!! Hey, I guess we Snells will just stick to what we're good at. :)

Thoughts on Pregnancy, take two

So I just hit 20 weeks pregnant. Half way there! My big appointment is tomorrow, where we will make sure baby has developed properly, and also find out if we are having a boy or girl. I am really excited to start calling my baby something other than "it."
I am feeling much better than I was during the first trimester. No more nausea or vomiting, but I have graduated to other gestational "milestones." Exibit one: heartburn. I have downed nearly an entire bottle of tums in the last month. Exibit two: getting fat. I was so proud of myself for only gaining two pounds in the first fifteen weeks. Well, I returned to the scale on friday to find that I had gained ten pounds--not unexpected for pregnancy, but not ideal for fitting into your pants either. It's time for maternity shopping. Exhibit three (which has been more enjoyable than the previous two): feeling my baby move. This occurs especially after a big meal, or when I wear tighter pants. I can tell my baby likes "its" space.
