Second Trimester Here We Go!

We are in our Second Trimester now. We're are about four weeks away from when we find out the gender of our baby. We are beyond excited and can't wait to find out what the baby is.

About four weeks ago I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have been in a nutrition program to help me with GDM. At first it was mentally daunting on me because I felt bad that my body and placenta were not cooperating together. It was really hard on me because I felt like I did something wrong. My nutritionist explained that women in all shapes and sizes can get this and we did nothing wrong. That was when I changed my mindset from being depressed about it to let's change my lifestyle so this can be an easier pregnancy. With the support of my family, doctor's and friends I've been striving in my program. I've lost around 12 pounds and I feel so much healthier. I'm on a nice healthy meal plan and exercise regimen that is both great for myself and for my little one.

I don't quite have a bump that's visible yet but it is growing and I feel the changes happening in my body. My cats are very needy and want to be near my bump area all the time. It's actually really cute. I need naps every now and then and try to take advantage of them while I can pre-baby.

The doctors are very happy with how Baby SGW is growing. We love ultrasounds and OB GYN visits because we get to hear the heartbeat and see our baby. Stephen and I are just overjoyed with happiness. We're just counting down the days till July 18th and we find out the gender. We will let everyone know on July 21st what the gender is.

Thank you all for following our Pregnancy Journey.

Love, Sarah and Stephen.
