Two More MONTHS until Baby Rodriguez is here!!!

Week 30, Here we COME!!!

Baby boy OR Baby girl is going to be here long before we know it.  Our Gender Reveal party is coming in a couple of weeks and I honestly can NOT fathom if I'm having a boy or a girl.  So many people keep telling me that I am having a boy.  I just say that it's a boy just to go along with everyone else.  The day that the gender is revealed, I know I will be truly surprised.

This pregnancy has been awesome in that it was pretty speedy.   these months went by like weeks.  However, I have had much more nausea than I have had when I was pregnant with Zoë.  I have also been to the hospital a couple of times because of intense pain.  I didn't know know that having gas and being dehydrated can cause so much pain. I have had nights where I could not sleep because the pain was practically paralyzing.  Well, I have been recuperating well after my major water intake.  Half a gallon of water a day has been doing the trick.

Last week was the first week I would say I actually looked pregnant! How many weeks do you usually start seeing the basketball belly? I can say mine was officially at 29 weeks!  I am excited because my baby bump is really a bump and now it's dawning on me that I am going to soon be holding my baby in my hands!

I have been taking care of my belly on the outside with Burt's Bees Mama Bee creme.  Moisturizing with that is what I think has helped me not to see stretch marks yet.  The physical changes haven't been extreme except the 30 lb weight gain.  I have 10 more weeks to go and I really don't want to gain anymore than I already have!!! :(

It has definitely been a journey so far.  I am glad that pregnancy hasn't been to mean to me.  I know have ten to twelve weeks left and so many changes can happen any time, however, I made it through most of the pregnancy surviving and I haven't tortured my husband with moodswings as much as I expected.  (I have given him a hard time here and there, though.)

Stay tuned for more updates about preparing for the GENDER REVEAL!!! I cannot wait.  What are your guesses?
