Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 39 Weeks
Size of Baby: Over 7lbs and 19.5 inches long
Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 33lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Everything.
Gender: It's a girl!
Movement: She is still very active. I can tell that she likes to nap during the day and she is most active in the evenings, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep.
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach. I also miss being able to roll over with ease. It's very uncomfortable and sometimes I will avoid switching sides, even when I really want to, so that I don't deal with the process of rolling over.
Cravings: Nothing really. I haven't really over eaten anything or had anything that really stands out with this pregnancy.
Symptoms: My heartburn has still held off thanks to the OTC heartburn medicines. Constant bathroom breaks day and night. The pressure down there is intense and I can barely move my legs at times because it hurts to walk or get up from my seat.
Best Moment of the Week: This is my last week of pregnancy and this past weekend was a very bittersweet weekend. We tried to do as much as we could with the kids, because all too soon Peyton will be here.
I am such a mix of emotions and I'm sure it will only intensify as the week progresses. Yes, I'm extremely excited to be able to hold our little girl and to finally see what she looks like. I can't wait to see how the kids interact with her. But I'm also very emotional.
This is most likely my last pregnancy. Despite the little annoyances, I love being pregnant. The feeling of a baby fluttering around and knowing that God created something so beautiful out of the love I share with my husband is overwhelming. We are pretty certain that our family will feel complete with Peyton's arrival.
Mason & Taylor are very excited to finally meet their sister. Every morning, Mason wakes up and asks if Peyton is here yet. Mason was so young when Taylor was born, he doesn't really remember like without his little sister. So it will be a shocker for both of them when Peyton comes home. He did great and it really wasn't a bad transition, but I have a feeling Taylor will have a harder time adjusting to life with a newborn and someone else taking attention away from her.If any mom's of three have any suggestions on making the transition easier, let me know. We are going to make this a special week and I'm going to eat up every minute I have with the kids.

I am so excited for you. I keep checking to see if she is here yet. I know it seems like you have been pregnant forever but I love that you are cherishing these last couple days (hours, minutes) with her inside of you. I already miss being pregnant with Case! I don't have any real advice as far as transitioning your kids. I would say just keep things as normal as possible. We really tried to get home from the hospital right away and have all the kids with us. I know a lot of people prefer to have the older kids stay with friends or family for a couple days so you can sleep but we felt the best way to transition our kids was to have them all at home as soon as we were home from the hospital. For the most part both our boys were excited and fine with having another one around. I was really worried about Jax too because he was so close to me and always wanted to be with me but he has been great with Case. You have to do what works for you and as the mom you will know what that is:). Praying for you these next couple days, I'm praying she comes before Friday:) Take care.
