Where do you live: Louisville KY
Workouts you are doing while pregnant: I ran up until about 32-33 weeks. In the begining I was running outside and doing longer intervals and once I swtiched to the treadmill and I was bigger, it got tougher so I quit running a couple weeks ago. I continued walking, some light strength training, ashtanga slow flow yoga and prenatal yoga. At my appointment yesterday I was told to rest the duration of my pregnancy, so it looks like my workouts are done for now. I hope I don't go nuts and am trying to see it is a positive and just really take it easy these last 3-4 weeks.
Anything else you'd like to share: I'm not sure I am really fathoming that I will be responsible for a baby in a few weeks. But we're both really excited. We've been together for almost 11 years minus about 18 months where we separated and ultimately divorced and were remarried 10/16/10.

We moved to Southern Maryland due to military orders October 2010 and will be here for another 1-2 years before we move again. I love being a military wife, but it is very hard at times when he deploys. Luckily, he's on shore duty right now and shouldn't have to deploy while stationed here. We have two dogs, a Yorkie named Spike and a Chihuhua named Pia, who are very spoiled and will have some adjusting to do when little Miss Abbie debuts.
