39 weeks {Baby #2}

How far along? 39 weeks 1 day

Size of the baby: Our baby is the size of a watermelon! She is about 18.9-20.9 in long and weighs about 6.9-9.2 lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Yes...limited since most of my shirts are getting too short!

Stretch marks? None

Sleep: It pretty much is the hardest thing these days to get comfortable enough to fall asleep and just when I think I am then I have to roll myself out of bed to go pee for the millionth time! Started using an extra pillow just for my big belly. 

Best moment this week: Getting to hear her heartbeat at my last apt and setting up last minute things for Rayna with the help of Big Sis (love that she is so involved and wanting to help do things for her sister).

Worst moment this week: Lots of discomfort (Rayna likes to kick me ALL the time), pretty much no energy left, and too many bathroom breaks to count! Also, Rylee has been giving me a run for my money with terrible two tantrums and refusing to nap or goto sleep without a fight. Hoping she shapes up real quick before sister arrives in a week!

Miss Anything? Just being comfortable and having energy. Sleep is definitely still a challenge these days and lately it is getting harder to chase Rylee around, pick her up, bend down to tie my shoes, etc. (Basically the simple things!)

Movement: Still lots of movement that mostly consist of body parts pushing against my belly and hiccups!

Food cravings: Mexican food, sweets, and Dr. Pepper 

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Have you started to show yet: Yes!

Gender: GIRL!! Rayna Elyse Sosbe <3

Labor Signs: No

Pregnancy Symptoms: Swollen feet/hands, lots of restroom breaks, and having more discomfort!!

Belly Button in or out? Still in but I feel like it will pop out any day now!! 

How are you feeling? Good but feeling very uncomfortable lately

Looking forward to: My in-laws coming in next week for the arrival of Rayna and meeting our newest baby girl VERY soon...like in a WEEK!!! If she doesn't decide to come on her own then we already scheduled her induction date for May 3rd at 8:30pm so most likely her birthday will be May 4th!! :)

38 weeks {Baby #2}

How far along? 38 weeks

Size of the baby: Our baby is the size of a pumpkin! She is about 18.9-20.9 in long and weighs about 6.9-9.2 lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Yes

Stretch marks? None

Sleep: It pretty much is the hardest thing these days to get comfortable enough to fall asleep and just when I think I am then I have to roll myself out of bed to go pee for the millionth time! Started using an extra pillow just for my big belly. I have been having very vivid dreams lately which for some reason makes me wake up in the middle of the night hot and sweating to death. Lets just say I miss sleeping through the night comfortably. 

Best moment this week: Much needed pedicure, getting a sneak peek at Baby Rayna in an ultrasound that my doctor requested (see below), having one day/night kid free thanks to Tamera who took Rylee on a road trip to see my parents (eventhugh I missed her like crazy the whole 24 hours she was gone), and taking Rylee to Frozen on Ice (soooo much fun), and the fact that Rylee is learning/saying sister's name (says Rayon instead of Rayna lol) all the time now....melts my heart!!

Worst moment this week: Monday, at my 37 week apt Rayna was measuring 33 weeks instead of 37 weeks (last week she measured 34 weeks at my 36 week apt). My doctor requested an ultrasound to check on her to make sure everything was fine. She said it could be the fact that she has dropped and is just in the wrong position to get measured correctly or something else...I of course was a nervous wreck hoping that she was perfectly fine. Come to find out my ultrasound was perfect and Rayna looked perfect (thank goodness)! The doctor said my belly is deceiving because she is actually measuring exactly on track! She is a little chunk like her sister was....her weight as of now is 7.2 lbs already and her little (not so little) belly is in the 89%. My doctor estimated that she will weigh between 8-9 lbs when she is born (can induce at 39 weeks or wait till due date). Honestly, I am a little nervous about how big she will be but just happy she is growing healthy & on track. So thankful there was nothing wrong and that we do not have to induce early.

Looking forward to: My 38 week apt next week! <Apt update: I haven't made much change in the last week (just the fact that my cervix is about 70% thinned out). The doctor told me that she does not see any need to induce next week (39 weeks) and they do not induce on the weekends (my due date) so unless Rayna decided to come on her own we will schedule an induction date the beginning of the following week after my due date. Looks like she will be a May baby!! :)

Here's a sneak peek at Rayna's cute little face! She has the same big cheeks and lips like her sister when she was born that I cannot wait to kiss all over! :)

37 weeks {Baby #2}

Best moment this week: Took Rylee to go bowling for the first time and she LOVED it! Trying to squeeze in lots of fun things to do with her before little sister arrives.

Looking forward to: A night out to celebrate my sister's birthday while Rylee has a sleepover with her cousins and the start of my weekly visits to see the doctor. I might get a ultrasound next week if baby girl is measuring small again which I hope she is not too small but would LOVE to get a sneak peek at her again! I haven't seen her in an ultrasound since 20 weeks so I'm sure she has changed quite a bit!!

Big sis had to get a picture too...such a ham!! :)

Cousin sleepover!!

Fun night out with the family...belly & all! ;)
