I am still feeling great, a bit more shortness of breath these days than before, and a little less hungry, but still gaining pretty good weight ( 32 lbs so far).
We have had such an amazing last 6 weeks, with the holidays and a new ultrasound on week 30

It was an awesome Christmas, so amazing to have the best gift of them all :) Baby Rodick got lots of gifts from grandma, auntie and so many other friends who just spoiled us.
I had to get some new maternity clothes, but they were worth it (28 weeks). Had to fit it with the season, in red :)
We also got to celebrate and host New Year's eve, because it is one of my favorite holidays, and probably the last one we will have it to be rowdy :) we stayed up until 2 am, and had great fun with family and friends.
The day before NYE, we just had an amazingly beautiful day here in Oregon, and we went to Pacific City Beach. We wanted to write our two chosen baby names on the sand, and take pictures for the nursery, and we couldn't have chosen a better more beautiful day to do it. Bryan went for a run in the beach, I took Lance out on a walk, and we had some great food at Pelican Brewery afterwards, it was just awesome.
We went for our birthing class on January 4th and 5th. It was a good experience, but very exhausting at the same time. I don't know that I would have wanted to watch all those videos, but now I know. Still working on my birth plan, trying to figure out what to do.
Baby Shower is coming, on February 9, and the invites are adorable. Wish you guys were here to make it, but we will make do with the Skype Baby Shower- Thank you Auntie Michele for thinking of it and hosting it :))
I think my nesting instincts have kicked in as well, since we have managed to sign up for one more baby registry( Babies R Us), and I managed to finish knitting the sweater I started when we hit 12 weeks.
Last night we went to our Dr. appointment, for the 32 weeks. I know go every other week, until I hit 36 weeks, and then I go see her every week. I am measuring 31 cms, from top to bottom, so, right on track. Last time we had the ultrasound, our little peanut weighted 3 1/2 lbs.
One of the things that have happened of lately is that I have started snoring a lot. I am uncomfortable sleeping at night, as I have to sleep on either side, and have been snoring up a storm. Poor Bryan has to go sleep on the other room, as he is a little sleeper and I am a heavy sleeper. I also am a bit anemic, so I am taking iron supplements.
Little peanut is already head down :) Peanut is not moving as much, but making smaller movements as it is getting crowded in there.
I am still teaching Zumba classes, and it is funny to see the reaction of the new students who have come in after the beginning of the year, when they see me up there. I will try to keep it up as much as I can, but I do need the fan blowing on me these days.
Love you all, miss you and wish you could be here with us, but I know you are in your heart. This little peanut is going to be much much loved :)
Love you guys, amo voces,
Beijos
The Rodicks
