    Name: Misti
    Hubby: Zack
    How many kiddos: This is # 2, my son Isaac is 7.
    Due Date: 2/12/2012
    How far along are you: 29W4D gained a total of 16lb so far
    Gender: Girl :heart:
    Baby name: ?? Can't decide or agree on anything
    Where do you live: Idaho
    Workouts while pregnant: Walking, Yoga and light hand weights
    Fun fact about yourself: I have been with my husband for 12 years, we recently got married in August. Kind of a spur of the moment thing, but we are happier now than I think we ever have been. Our first child is 7 years old, I was pretty set on just having one, and Zack always wanted at least two, so after a few medical issues and not being able to take birth control, well 3 weeks later......pregnant. All I can say is it must be meant to be and I am so happy that it all happened the way it has. I always did say, I already have everything I want in a boy, so if I knew for sure I could have a girl, I would consider getting pregnant....LOL Well, it's a girl, so my wish came true!!:love: Can't wait to complete my lil' family in Feb. :heart:

We were meant to be together. :heart: My older sister is prego with her second and 10 weeks behind me so the cousins will be very close in age.

    Hi Everyone!

    I've been missing from this thread since early first trimester. Some of you may remember me. I'm the one who had a mass/cyst growing in sac with my baby. Well the mass resolved itself by 8 weeks and my baby is healthy thank God. We are so excited about having a girl after 2 boys. I'm a little disappointed with my weight gain. I started at 115lbs and am up to 132 already at 20 weeks :( I gained 50lbs with my other 2 pregnancies and lost it all in about 6mos so I know I can lose it again but I just want to keep my weight gain at 35lbs max. We shall see. For now I'm just trying to eat healthy and workout 30 min/day. Thanksgiving was when I gained more than I should've so I'm trying to get back on track this week. Hope you're all doing well and I look forward to getting to know you all.

    I know this question has been posed before - but what are your favorite pregnancy fitness DVDs - so far I just have the Elements Pre & Post natal yoga (which I love) but I'd like to get one for pilates or cardio - any suggestions?

    I was looking at Summer Sander's Prenatal workout DVD by Gaiam - has anyone tried that one?

    As winter moves forward and Christmas gets closer I'm finding I have less time and am less likely to go out to find a workout at a gym or whatever, so it looks like home DVDs are the best way for me to get my workout in.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I have the Summer Sanders workout DVD and really like it!!! It has all 3 trimesters...but she is actually 7 months during all of them...so I just skip around and do the workouts randomly! I would totally recommend it!

    Hi ladies! I would LOVE to join this group. I just found out Tuesday that I am pregnant with my second, so I am not very far along, but I am hoping to keep my weight gain under control as much as from the beginning. I put on 40 lbs with my first! Yikes! Fortunately, a lot of it come off with breastfeeding and exercise after I had my daughter, but I still had some weight hanging around. I joined MFP about a month ago, and lost eight more lbs., and now, here I am! :) Anyways, here's my info!: Name: Kristin
    Hubby/Partner: Allan
    How many kids do you have: This is #2, my daughter, Kaitlyn, was born in January of 2010.
    Due Date: August 4, 2012
    How far along are you: 4 weeks 5 days
    Do you know the gender: nope
    Babies Name: haven't thought about it yet :)
    Where do you live (if you want to share): Ohio
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Zumba, walking, strength training, yoga
    Fun Fact about yourself: We had been trying for awhile to get pregnant this second time, and last month we were referred to a specialist, who gave us a workup and a plan for my next cycle. I was heartbroken when we realized that the "plan" was going to be well out of our financial ability. So this past month, thinking that it probably just wouldn't happen for us, I relaxed, lost some weight, and VOILA!

    I am glad to meet you all and wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy and childbirth! :happy:

    Hubby/Partner: kory
    How many kids do you have: this will be our first!
    Due Date: february 22nd!!
    How far along are you: 28 weeks 1 day
    Do you know the gender: boy
    Babies Name: parker alexander
    Where do you live (if you want to share): CT
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: prenatal yoga, walking, minor strength
    Fun Fact about yourself: we are the ones who will be carrying on my husbands last name!!! so it was my husbands father and his sister...my father in law had two boys and korys brother had two girls...so we're the ones to carry on the name which i love!!





    happy december all!!!! today has been a good day (it was pasta bar at work!!! yiiikes...usually my weakness but i restricted myself to a decent size portion). i think the hubby and i are going to look at a new car (well new to me!) tonight...we're looking to downsize from the jeep grand cherokee i have to a sedan because the other car we have is our massive gas hog family vehicle! so we found one online and hopefully it will work out!!! but other than that...planning to go for a walk after work with kory and the puppies and have buffalo chicken pizza on the menu for tonight (going to try to lighten this up as much as i can and do a good salad on the side!)

    rayna - you will like it. i think she has a great personality and keeps the workout fun! the only things you 'need' are a band and pillows (to prop yourself up for the floor exercises)...but i dont have a band...so i just use hand weights and it works perfectly.

    brenda - golf equipment is always a great gift!!! i was thinking of doing the lessons for his 'daddy present' and then some golf things for his birthday (its januray 31st and our due date is feb 22!)

    kristin - congrats on number two!!!

    Babies Name: Matisse (most probably)
    Where do you live (if you want to share): Montreal
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: light cardio, strength training & hoping to get back into yoga
    Fun Fact about yourself: I’ve known my husband for 15 years, dated for 6, and married for 2. This will be the first grandchild on both sides of the family and so everyone is anxiously waiting his arrival. Also because of where I live, we have to make sure our child is as fluent as possible in French if we want him to have a future here, so teaching our child a language that isn’t our mother tongue is going to be quite the task.

I started knitting for the little one and having lots of fun.

    That was me yesterday!! Damn Hormones! I'm usually pretty easy-going and not very emotional, so these pregnancy hormones are testing my sanity!
