32 Weeks with RJ!



How far along? 32 weeks

Baby's size? Head of Lettuce (19 inches, 3.9 pounds) 

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? Yes, minus a few t-shirts and dresses

Weight Gain? Not Sure...

Stretch marks? Yup, but they're all below my belly button, which I guess is the best place to be...

Belly button in or out? In, but the very top is slightly sticking out. It looks extremely weird! At least you can't tell when I'm wearing clothes.

Sleeping? Some nights are good and some are not...

Foods I'm loving? Just about anything! 

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Having the nursery completely set up, minus the letters that Alan surprised me with - they won't be in for a couple more weeks, though!

Movement? Most definitely! 

What I'm looking forward to? Meeting our sweet girl!

What I'm missing? Sleep! Haha. And being able to get up/turn over with ease. Putting kiddos down for bedtime and naptime has started to become a bit rough...

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions, and my fingers have started to swell. I bet a lot of it is due to the heat, but it's still no fun... 

Milestones? Not too much longer!

Emotions? Ok... I've had a couple rough weeks, hence no weekly updates, but we're all good.

First Day of Dance!

Elizabeth started dance yesterday! And I think I was just as excited about it as she was! From the outfit, to the shoes, to just watching her dance, it was a great experience. Elizabeth absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back! She'll do tap and ballet - I can't wait to see the recital. I know it'll be precious!

How far along? 29 weeks

Baby's size? Small cabbage (17 inches, 2.9 pounds) 

Gender? It's a baby girl! Rebekah Jo!

Maternity clothes? Yes, but the past few weeks I've been wearing tank tops and regular athletic shorts as the pool is sooo hot and humid...

Weight Gain? 19 lbs!

Stretch marks? Not quite sure if I have new ones or not...

Belly button in or out? In, but getting flatter and flatter

Sleeping? Some nights are good and some are not...

Foods I'm loving? Just about anything! 

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Watching Alan work on the backyard and complete even more!

What I'm missing? Sleep! Haha

Symptoms? Frequent potty breaks, exhaustion, food cravings/aversions, and my fingers have started to swell. I bet a lot of it is due to the heat, but it's still no fun... And I might be looking at investing in a fake ring for the next 12 weeks

Milestones? I'm finally in the third trimester! 2/3 of the way done. ;)

Emotions? Pretty good this week!
