29 Weeks!

How far along? 29 weeks! Baby Rivera is now roughly 17 inches from head to toe, and nearly 3 pounds in weight.

Total weight gain/loss? Somewhere between 16-17 pounds depending on the day.

Feeling Sick/Signs of Labor? Feeling more contractions than usual over the past few days. I have had to take it easy because of that. The discomfort is getting worse, especially after I have a meal, and the continued heartburn makes me nauseous all the time. Now I am done complaining.

Clothing? I am still wearing elastic waist items under my belly and a lot of camisoles with sweaters. I am really into layering right now.

Stretch Marks? Nope.

Sleep? I am still not sleeping well. I am used to it now. I feel like I am learning to sleep like my baby might sleep, in 2-4 hour intervals.

Movement? Oh she is a moving, sometimes non-stop for several hours. I love feeling her movements. They are not painful and this point, yet.

Cravings? Nothing new. I can barely eat a big meal anymore due to the lack of space in my stomach. I snack more than anything now.

Gender? I am getting more and more anxious to meet this little girl.

What I miss? Now I really miss being comfortable. It sucks having to take it easy and having to be so cautious of what I am doing in fear that I will induce even more contractions. Being a couch potato is my new hobby. Good thing it is Christmas time and I can watch Christmas movies all day long.

Upcoming Events? Another OB appt. this week followed by their Christmas party which is always fun. John and I are hoping to get some maternity photos done this weekend as well.

Best moment of the week? We had an awesome week filled with Holiday festivities, including a gingerbread house building party and a stroll through Balboa Park for December nights. I just love this time of year!
