27 Weeks!

How far along? 27 weeks! Baby Rivera is now roughly 15 inches from head to toe, and over 2 pounds in weight.

Total weight gain/loss? I have gained 14 pounds roughly.

Feeling Sick/Signs of Labor? Same complaints, different day. The heartburn is still annoying and nothing seems to help. I still have contractions everyday, some are feeling more intense now to the point where I have to stop and sit down. Apparently this is all very normal and part of my body preparing for the real thing in a few more months.

Clothing? Well unfortunately now my scrubs are even getting a little snug. Bummer. I am finally accepting the fact that my clothes just don’t fit the same way anymore and I have to just deal with the fact that I am limited on what I can wear. I did buy a nice dress for the holidays that may be recycled at multiple holiday parties. I still love elastic waist items and still have no desire to wear the pants with the full panel that go over my entire belly.

Stretch Marks? Nope.

Sleep? It sucks. I don’t think I will ever be comfortable again.

Movement? Still tons of movement. Some days I feel her constantly moving, and other days she is a little bit more chill and just performs subtle movements.

Cravings? I still can’t get enough sweets. Unfortunately with my growing belly comes limited space in my stomach to hold yummy desserts.

Gender? All princess! I can’t wait to see what she looks like.

What I miss? Being comfortable. That is all.

Upcoming Events? Turkey day! John and I are hosting Thanksgiving again at our home this year, and baby daddy is tackling 2 turkeys this year. It will be nice to spend some time with family and friends.

Best moment of the week? Finally purchasing all of the items for the baby’s room. I also splurged on a ton of Christmas decorations for the house. This is by far my favorite time of year. I can’t wait to get my Christmas tree next week.
