Baby #2 Third Trimester

This trimester is the hardest trimester. (not the worst, the worst is the first!)
I just felt so heavy. So off balance. 
I couldn't sleep, and this baby girl would surprise ninja kick me and I would literally yell. 

This trimester was also marred with the lovely news that I had gestational diabetes, followed by a speech from my doctor basically saying that if I didn't do EXACTLY what our plan laid out then my baby would die.



Honestly though, it was the kick in the pants that I needed. I started eating better and testing all the time. The best was when we were on family vacation. There were always people around me, so I was always being held accountable. I ended up losing pounds, which were there to lose believe me. 

I also have to go in like three times a week to do these super time consuming Non-stress tests where they strap me to a fetal monitor. But I get to hear Rachel's heart beach, so thats wonderful.


Other than that pain and worry, Its was so hot and so hard to fall asleep.
I was just ready for baby Rachel to come.
