38 Weeks with RJ!

I've successfully surpassed my pregancy length with RJ in relation to David (but I know I won't surpass Elizabeth's... She didn't come until after 41 weeks.). And, surprisingly, this is the ONLY pregnancy I've had without any blood pressure issues and the pregnancy I've gained the least amount with! My blood pressure has been phenomenal, and I just am so excited that at least that one thing is normal. :) 

How far along? 38 weeks

Baby's size? Swiss Chard (19-22 inches, 6.8 pounds) At my appointment Friday, sweet baby was weighing in between        7 - 7 1/2 lbs!!

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? Flat, 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? I am officially done with prenatal appointments!!

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 in no more than a week! She can come anytime after Friday!

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. 

Milestones? 1 week 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). Plus I'm about halfway done packing the kids bags!

Emotions? They've been pretty good! I love knowing there is an end in sight and that hopefully around this time next week we'll know more about what is going on!
