Week 30

"This week we went to San Antonio again for the weekend. It was our annual spring party with Nana, PawPaw, Uncle Jason, Aunt Candice and your cousins. We had so much fun playing on the tire swing, eating yummy food and ice cream and watching the basketball playoffs. This was definitely your favorite kind of day. Sunday was Mother’s Day. Even though you are not out in the world, I am still a mother to you so this day was really special for me. You are a prayer answered and a dream come true and I am counting the days until our eyes meet for the first time. I’m starting to feel very tired. You are a busy bee inside of me and I am finding it more and more difficult to put one foot in front of the other. It’s kind of frustrating because your mommy likes to be very active but it will all be worth it in the end. Only 10 more weeks!"

Week 29

"We were blessed with several wonderful showers for you this week. The first shower was a garden party at Nana’s house. It was just girls except for you and your cousins Wyatt & Hudson. We had a great time eating lots of yummy breakfast food, visiting and opening presents for you. Aunt Candice and Nana made it really special for us with the Goodnight Moon theme. Daddy’s cousins Chrissy and Andrea and his aunt, Lynda, hosted the second shower, which was held at Grandma’s house. It was an evening shower and all the family and cousins were there. Your cousin Cat wanted to know what your name is. I told her it was a secret. She thought about it for a little while, came back and asked me how to spell your name. She is very smart and eager to know your name but we are still keeping it a surprise. For now, everyone is still calling you “Randall” or “L-Rod”, short for Little Rodriguez. While Mommy was in San Antonio this week, I was able to meet Miss Stephanie and Miss Michelle for dinner. We always have such a fun time together; Mommy got a good ab workout that night from laughing so much. The staff at Mommy’s work also had a shower for us with yummy cake and a gift card to buy fun stuff for you at Target. I hope you were able to feel all the love that surrounded you this week. We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends."

Week 28

"We are so busy preparing for your arrival, only 12 weeks to go! We bought your nursery furniture and your bedding came this week. Your closet now has a light and your room has a fresh coat of paint. Our house is a disaster right now but soon we will be putting together furniture and making your room beautiful. We are visiting Dr. E every two weeks now and at our next appointment, we are going to the new hospital. You are growing by leaps and bounds. Just when I think I can’t get any bigger…I get bigger. I can feel you moving so much now. You don’t really kick me, you seem to just nudge and stretch a lot. Daddy says you must take after him because even when you are sleeping, you are moving. I am still craving lemonade all the time and have had a pretty sweet tooth lately but I am attending weekly boot camp and walking on the treadmill and around the neighborhood as much as possible to maintain a healthy weight gain. Mommy is also working in San Antonio two days a week now so we spend the night with Nana & PawPaw once a week and they love watching you (and me) grow."
