Disclaimer - I currently hate all pictures of myself. I look swollen! Like I got stung by a bee! But I am going to press on with documenting this journey, hoping one day I will look back on these pictures and laugh about how fat I look instead of wishing I were this size...
How far along: 28 weeks
Size of baby: According to The Bump, baby Riley is the size of an eggplant, weighing 1.5 to 2.5 pounds and measuring 13.6 to 14.8 inches long.
Maternity clothes: Clearly. I need more tops. I'm starting to bare belly under my normal ones.
Gender: A precious little girl named Riley Rachelle.
Movement: Regularly. I feel her in my ribs, I feel her flip and roll around. The kicks are getting really strong - sometimes they even hurt!!
Sleep: Sleep lately has been pretty great. I don't know if daylight savings time helped or if I'm just finding ways to get more comfy, but I haven't had too much of a problem, which is a blessing.
Symptoms: Fatness! Heartburn hasn't been as bad as it was because I am learning what triggers it and can avoid it. I get a lot of pain in my shoulders right now, I think from sitting up at work all day.
What I miss: Still wine & coffee. Red sauce. Not looking like a pot-bellied pig!
Cravings: Not too much lately. I still drink more sweet tea than I should.
Food aversions: Nada.
Best moment this week: I'll go back to last week when we saw her precious precious precious face on our 3D ultrasound. It was an AMAZING experience. I cannot wait to meet this little lady! Also passing my glucose test. I was nervous about that for some reason.
What I am looking forward to: My baby shower next weekend! Getting her crib and chair in around the end of April.
