Where do I even start?? I will start with the things that stick out in my mind that have happened...
Rhyder:
He is getting so big and is such a hand full! He talks so much and runs all over. He says things that just blow my mind. He started going potty on the toilet. Right before christmas he got hands, foot and mouth disease. It was so hard to see him go through it and be so sick, he would sleep maybe 2 hours a night which was so hard on mommy and daddy as well. He would just sit and cry for hours and hours straight and didn't want to let us go away from him. I remember just sitting holding him on the bed and him crying and then I would just cuddle him and cry while I thought why am I crying?? Then I would think oh ya because he's my little man, I'm pregnant and overly tired! I know we have seen him go through a lot but as a parent you NEVER get used to your child being sick even if it is very often. He has been such a trooper with all he has gone through. Luckily he got over that right before Christmas! We had such a fun Christmas. Going out to see what Santa brought him was so fun and seeing his face was something I will never forget. He looked at the toys and then looked at us and just said "HAPPY" :) All day that's what we heard! Right before New Years he got pink eye in both eyes which was NO fun! Then about a month later he decided to try and ride his 4wheeler down the stairs, which came with a bloody nose and a nice black shinner on his eye. A few days after that happened his ear started bleeding from inside which freaked me out. I knew his ears had been draining for a few weeks because of his tubes but not bleeding. I took him in and found out he had an ear infection :/ he got put on a study for his ears and is doing much better now! He is just like his daddy and is a rough tough boy. He is so cute and acts so much older then her really is! I must say I love getting to kiss him every morning and night and watching him grow up! He is a turd and is such a daddy's boy... It is so cute how much he idles him though I am a little jealous. He is so funny, we will be shopping and buy something for TynLeigh and he will hold it for hours and just say cute. He has to take us in to her room now and again so he can point to her crib and say baby! I honestly could go on for hours and hours about how cute and funny this little guy is!
Daddy & Mommy:
We are doing good and are super excited for our baby girl. We got a new car which I absolutely love! We have both been working extra hours and days at work which is nice but so hard. I FINALLY convinced Ben that he needs to go and have his arms looked at again since it has been putting him in so much pain along with his elbow now as well. I'm now 36 weeks & 2 days and am going to the doctor every week. It's getting so close and I am so done with this pregnancy! (Never thought I'd say that) I have been cramping so much and my back is in pain quite often! When I went to the doctor's last she said I was measuring 32 weeks which was 2 weeks behind and TynLeigh's heart beat was slower then she wanted, she was also concerned with how much amniotic fluid I was making/had. When she told me I remember just trying to stop myself from crying since when she told me that with Rhyder I got induced the next day. Although I was farther along. I called Ben just bawling when I left because I was so worried and scared. I went to Alta View for an ultrasound which turned out looking good and showed that I was farther along then we thought I was... No the due date didn't change but I have not seen my doctor since so we will see what happens on Monday. Ben is starting to talk about and showing that he is super excited for a little princess. I keep telling him that she is going to be a mommy's girl since Rhyder is a daddy's boy!
We can't wait and are so excited that we are going to be having a little girl in about a month! I can't even express how much I appreciate my friends, family and most of all Ben and Rhyder for helping me through all the things that have been going on and have the past few months and don't know what I would do without them! Ben has been so supportive and comforting.

Long past due update :)
So... in August I started my new job, which can I say I love! I love the patients and the people I work with are SO fun! When were not working were having fun ;)
Now I am going to just going to type what comes to my mind first so as you read remember it may not be in order! (Im having a case of pregnancy brain) hehe
Speaking of pregnancy I have had a few appointments that I have not blogged about. First off, its a GIRL!!! Yes the Cameron family is going to have a girl in the family! I am about 21 weeks and have a little itty bitty belly. I have been feeling her kick lots and have gained 5 lbs so far. Can I just say Rhyder is going to be such a great big brother! He kisses my belly and says baby. Haha its adorable! She is growing and sounds healthy. We will have an ultrasound the begining of November.
Rhyder is getting so big! At the begining of October we had to take him to the cardiologist for his heart murmur. He had an eco cardiogram done and something else that I can't remember! He was so good and such a bigger boy. They said that it sounds pretty loud but they are thinking that it is loud beacuse it's closing on it's own! Crossing our fingers!!! They are going to have us go back when he is about 3. He is saying so many things that blow me away like, "where are you?" I was looking for his binki the other night and I kept saying "binki where are you?" and all of a sudden he said it. We take him in for his 15 month check up at the end of this month.
A few weeks ago Ben went elk hunting and shot us an elk! That means we have meat for a year until next elk hunting season. This past weekend we went on my rifle deer hunt and I shot a 2 by 3. We were pretty excited for mt first deer!
Ben turned 24 on the 21st which was fun, we went deer hunting for his birthday! Good thing we gor ome! Okay, I know it's more entertaining to read something with pictures but there are a few reasons why I dont do pictures often on my blog. 1: I usually take pictures with my phone and I don't know how to post them on my blog from my phone. 2: There are very little pictures on my laptop (since my old one crashed) 3: There all on facebook and I highly doubt people really follow my blog :D haha
I hope you have enjoyed this update and I will try to get better at updating about our life!

Stress :/
Alright... I am giong to have a venting session... :)
Ben has been working nights for quite awhile now and can I just say I absolutely HATE it! I hate being home alone at night and feel like I don't ever get to see him. This is how it goes. Wednesday Ben goes in at midnight so I come home from work at about 6pm and see him until I go to bed (he lays in bed until I fall asleep) then Thursday he sleeps until about 4:30 then he goes to work at 5:15, by the time I get off and get Rhyder Ben is already one to work. Same thing happens on Fridays, Saturdays Rhyder and I wake him up about 3 and we hangout with him until about 5:15 and he is off to work. Sundays he sleeps until about noon and then he hangs out with Rhyder and I. Ben has Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights off!!! Monday's and Tuesday's I work until about 6 then come home and do dinner then most the time lay down since I have not been feeling good. Same thing again on Wednesday! I can't wait until he is done working nights! Hopefully he will be done in a few weeks.

1st Dr's Visit
On Tuesday I had a doctor's apptointment. Usually Ben would have been at work but since he has been working another shift he was able to go! Rhyder also tagged along with us to hear the baby's heart beat. When we got there they were so excited I was back and brought the family :D They could not get over how big Rhyder has gotten! Crazy enough I weigh the same as when I went in for my first appt with Rhyder. (LESS on my scale) We got to hear the heart beat which was in the 170's healthy and strong. My doctor also said that my uterus was the size of a 14 week baby, if you go by the original (mensteral cycle) I would be 10 weeks 3 days. She said she didnt know if it just didn't go all the way done from Rhyder since he was so big. Unless I go get an ultrasound we are just going with 10 weeks 3 days until I do get an ultrasound! It was a good appt and I can't wait until the next time we get to go in :D

March 2012 Baby!!
Yes, that's right... We are EXPECTING again!!!
It all started when we went to the country fest in South Jordan the end of June. We met some friends at the country fest and were havin such a great time until the girls decided to go on roller coaster which I absolutely LOVE!!!! I could go on them ALL day... well, not this time. I felt so sick afterwards. When we left Ben stopped at Wendys to get some dinner. I was so sick I couldn't even smell food. The second we walked in our front door me and all the things I was carrying went straight to the bathroom and puked.
At that moment I knew something was not right! I had never in my life got sick from a rollercoaster! Over July 4th we went to a friends cabin for a nice little vacation with friends and family. Ususally the smell of liquor doesnt make me sick but this weekend was totally different! I could smell it from so far away and would get SO nauseated! I kept telling my mom I must be pregnant or something cuz this is not like me. When we came home I still was not feeling right, I kept telling my mom that I didnt feel good or like myself! Her response was always "why don't you go take a test?"
Let me give you a little insight of how I feel about pregenancy tests! HA HA When I thought I was pregnant with Rhyder I took 4 take home test and they ALL came back - NEGATIVE! But, sure enough I was pregnant, with that being said I don't trust these things!
Me being me I just kept telling my mom that there was NO point in taking one since it would just say negative anyways! I never really did tell Ben how I felt cuz his response is ususally you have stomach problems and don't feel good so what is new... lol I finally broke down and decided that since I was going to the store anyways I would just buy one and take it, then I could also tell my mom I did and nothing! So I bought a box of 3 incase I needed them all. :)
Rhyder and I left the store and went home. I sat there and just starred at the tests to get up the courage. I finally went in and took the test, I immediatley walked out of the bathroom and picked Rhyder up. He was my finding out buddy! We went back in and looked at what I saw as 2 pink lines. I was in such shock that I couldn't smile, couldn't cry and couldn't talk! I had stuck in my head that even if I was it was not going to come back positive and there I was flabber gasted by the 2 pink lines.
I have always wanted to tell Ben in a cute way so I tried my hardest to not call or text him until he got home which was an hour later. I grabbed a white onsie out of Rhyder's drawer and wrote "I am going to be a BIG brother" on it so when Ben got home he would read it. I was still in shock and excited at this point so when he got home I picked Rhyder up and went to the front door. When Ben looked at him and read the shirt he looked at me with a serious face and said "how do you know?" (Ben had NO idea I thought I was or was taking a test)I started laughing and said I took a test. It's in the bathroom. His response was I need to go for a run haha Rhyder and I of course went with him but just walked. It took us both a few days to get over the shock (I even took another test the next morning). We did get over the shock and we are very excited. I can't wait to find out what we are having and tell everyone! I hope for a girl but Ben thinks it's a boy! We will see and keep you posted! My 1st appt is August 16th!

Rhyder's 1st year!!!
OMG... I can't believe that Rhyder is 1, this year has gone by SO fast and he has grown a lot! I was talking to my mom today about what he has done and how advanced he is for his age and thought it would be fun to share with you! Here are a few things that he has done along the way!
3 weeks he started holding his own head up
3 months he was eating baby food
4 months he started sitting up on his own
6 months he started pulling himself up to things and eating regular food
7 months he was crawling ALL over
8 months he decided to start walking EVERYWHERE, he got RSV and had to get tubes.
9 months is when he thought it would be a good time to pop out 2 teeth while mom and dad were on vacation. He also decided it was time to start crawling UP the stairs.
10 months he discovered how to run and then began going DOWN the stairs (yes there is still a gate up)
He has a HUGE vocabulary... Some of his favorite words to say are: deer, hat, dog, elk, up, down, hi, bye, bite, that, more, mama, dada, baba, ball, and nana (banana)
He LOVES to be outside, waving, dogs, riding on the 4 wheeler, and hats. He will take the phone and hold it up to his ear and says hi then looks at us and laughs. It has been a fun and exhausting year in our house hold. There was a point where he had an ear infection for about 3 months straight and got RSV. He is now sleeping pretty much through the night and is usually SO happy! He is starting to understand what we tell him to do, for example he will take the remote or our phones and walk away with them and then come back, we will tell him to go get the remote (or whatever he took) and he will go get it and then bring it back to us. He is noticing things more, we will ask where the trees are and he will point to them. He will point at a deer and say deer. Rhyder has somewhere learned how to smack his lips together and that means he wants food hahahaha! He has started to get shy/stranger danger and cry when one of us leaves which breaks my heart!
I will say when I was pregnant I would always say I hope he is smart and is a happy baby and I will say we are extremely blessed that he is just that. With him being our first baby we didn't really know how advanced he was. People would tell us but we didn't think anything of it until we were at the hospital for him to get his tubes there was another little boy that was 14 months and his mom was shocked Rhyder could walk (8 months) and was telling us how her little boy couldn't crawl and hadn't even started trying to and that is when I realized that No I didn't want my little baby to grow up but that I was PROUD at how smart and good he is!
