36 Weeks with RJ!

How far along? 36 weeks

Baby's size? Large Cantaloupe (20 inches, 6 pounds) At my appointment yesterday, sweet baby was weighing in at 6 lbs, 6 oz!

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

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

Weight Gain? I'm hovering between 20-22 lbs. Which means I hopefully won't gain more than 25 pounds. 

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!

Sleeping? Some nights are good and some are not... And our sweet David has been waking up super early, which this non-morning person is not a fan of. Haha

Foods I'm loving? Just about anything, especially hamburgers and Mexican food!!

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? Alan finished another flowerbed this weekend! It looks great! Two more to go... but those are going to wait until spring. I also finally got the nursery cleaned and organized!

Movement? Most definitely! 

What I'm looking forward to? Meeting our sweet girl and making the unknown known (more on that later...)! Her letters arrived yesterday, so hopefully sometime this week Alan can get them up on the wall!!

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? 3 weeks to go... We are delivering in Houston due to some unplanned events, so I will be induced at 39 weeks. Pray that I make it to my induction date (I don't want to drive to Houston in labor...) and for peace and answers once sweet Rebekah is here!

Emotions? Ok... I've had a couple rough weeks, but my spirits have been pretty high for the last week. Praying for answers and peace for the remainder of the time I'm carrying our sweet girl!
