37 Weeks with Rebekah Jo!

I actually took a picture, but can't find the cord to connect my camera to the computer... Stay tuned for that...

How far along? 37 weeks

Baby's size? Winter Melon (19-22 inches, 6.5 pounds) At my appointment last Tuesday, 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... 

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

Foods I'm hating? Nothing really!

Best moment this week? We finally completed RJ's nursery this weekend! I'll have to do a tour of her room soon. 

Movement? Yes, but not as strong as before. She must be running out of room because I feel more stretching and rolling now as opposed to kicks and jabs.

What I'm looking forward to? Meeting our sweet girl and making the unknown known (more on that later...)! 

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 and feet have started to swell a bit. I made the mistake of wearing too tight of shoes to church on Sunday and paid for that the rest of the day.

Milestones? 2 weeks to go! And I've gotten all of the bags back that I need to (from my hospital bag, to my after the hospital bag, to all the essentials you'll need when away from home for an unknown period of time).

Emotions? Ok... My spirits have been pretty good the last week. Still ready for Rebekah to get here and find out what all is happening. Praying for answers and peace for the remainder of the time I'm carrying our sweet girl!
