Here I am at 35 weeks rip roaring and ready to be done!! Not that I am normally a complainer but I am the biggest I have ever been with any of my pregnancies, it would be nice to stop being kicked in the ribs and everywhere else, to be able to have a little bit more energy, and to be able to move without having it be a huge thing and to think so hard about it. Also the emotions that seem to flow even when my mind is thinking, "why are you crying, you don't need to cry about this" would be an added benefit. You would think that with this being the last one that I would be taking it all in and be happy with every little kick and movement, and that I would be treasuring this experience one last time....not me, I am counting down the moments until I am done!
Bed rest wasn't in the cards this time, which I couldn't be happier about. I have to start going to the doctor weekly, because I am now dilated to a 2 and 30% effaced, but I would prefer that to having to lay in bed all day everyday. My team of doctors just want me to go until 36 weeks and then it can come whenever it so desires, of course they would prefer later. We are hoping for sometime the week of the 15th of March (Alan's spring break).
A little history of birth times:
Hannah - 36 weeks
Peter - 35 weeks
Joseph - 38 weeks
Eden - 37 weeks
Hannah - 36 weeks
Peter - 35 weeks
Joseph - 38 weeks
Eden - 37 weeks
I can't say that I am happy that I have waited to not find out. I will have to let you know if it really is as exciting as some say it is. Alan is thinking that he choose the more expensive route because I have to have boy and girl things for the new little one. Why I couldn't go neutral...I don't know but I didn't. But we are no closer to a girls name (the deal was if we didn't find out what gender our baby was Alan would agree on both a girls name and boys name before the baby is born) We already had the boys name picked out, but we are really struggling to find a girls name that we can both agree on. Any ideas will be welcomed, time is ticking....

Rebecca I think you look great and not one bit miserable...basically you make pregnancy look so beautiful. You can make it til the 15th I just know it! By the way thanks for the change up....I love it! Miss you and good luck if you go into labor soon.
Love,
jamie
Rebecca, you look great!!! I love the belly pictures! You are an amazing mom. As for baby names, I think it is hard to decide! I liked the name Lila (if we hadn't decided on Lily instead). I also liked Sophia, but it appears to be the top girl name in 2008. Good luck with all that!
Well, if there weren't already too many Elizabeths/Elisabeths in this family...!
Seriously, how can you top "Edy"? Baby had better be a boy.
You look great! I think you should name HER Amelia, after me. Wouldn't that be great??
YOu are one cute prego lady! I can't wait to find out what you're having..."it's a....baby!"
I haven't seen you in so long! You look so cute! Good luck with your new angel!
I would LOVE to look like you when I am preggo!!! You look amazingly good!!! We wish you the best of luck and can't wait to find out if you are having a boy or girl..... :)
Rebecca you look great! I as well wish I looked that good pregnant. I though look the same and nobody even knows I'm pregnant just looking fatter than before.
I'm now at 17 weeks and will soon be finding out what we are having. I cannot wait to find out, that is amazing that you were able to wait.
As far as girls names we have both sets picked out. But I think Lily is a cute name for a girl.
I think something is wrong with my blog. I have missed so many of your posts because it doesn't update that you have updated. i can't believe you are about ready to pop. you look great and of course your kids are adorable. looks like you are loving life.
So exciting! I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. We can't wait to hear if it's a boy or girl!

You look great and I'm so excited to hear what it is! Good luck on agreeing on a name - me and my hubby had a hard time with that too! And best wishes for a safe delivery!
You look great! Hope everything goes well with labor and delivery. I remember you went really fast with Hannah, hopefully you are ready to leave at any moment. ;)
Oh, man, I hear ya! And I'm only 28 weeks! And I have two early, one late, and one right on time, so I am REALLY screwed! I think you look good -- especially if you might have this kid next week. Also, I think you are having a boy, so forget about the girls' name. I don't know why . . . it's not like I really ever guess and am right, or anything.
You are adorable as always. I know you can make it. I was the same way with my last. You know it is the last, however that doesn't lessen the pain and discomfort. I am voting for a boy, because you can't think of any girl names. That happened to us a few times. We could only come up with a name for one gender or the other, and every time the name we picked fit the baby. Good luck! You will be in my thoughts.
What a happy time! Wish I had another litle monkey on the way... LUCKY Family! Good Luck.. I will be thinking of you often. You are in our prayers! Can't wait to see what you are having.. post of photos quick so we can all enjoy!
Love you all!
Alan, What have you heard about the Florida job?...
Rebecca, you look radiant! Pregnancy becomes you. :) I'll be thinking happy baby thoughts for you on the 17th so you can get your St. Patty's baby. Can't wait to see that darling new little one...
Do I look big from the side?
You are darling in every way Rebecca. So thrilled for this new little one to come. Are you SURE this is your caboose? You're so good at this!!!
Loves.
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY GIRL! I am soooo... happy for you all! Post pictures and details soon!
Love you!
