    Hi! I just found this group, and I would love to meet like-minded Moms-to-be with similar goals!
    Just call me Panda :)
    I have two living children, and I have had two miscarriages. This pregnancy will be baby #5.
    I am 10 weeks, due date is May 7th, 2013... which also happens to me my daughter's birthday!
    I don't know the gender yet, but we will definitely be finding out!
    Workouts- Before getting pregnant I was extremely active. I ran, lifted weights, and did lots of high impact aerobics. I have been diagnosed with a vaginal prolapse, so I have not been cleared to do most of those exercises. I am allowed to walk, bike, swim, and run on the elliptical. I can't do any crunches, sit-ups, leg lifts, or heavy lifting. This has been a HUGE change for me, and its been really hard. I kind of feel old because I can't be as active as I would like.
    I gained too much with my daughter and son, and I had no idea how to take off the weight until I found MFP after my son was nearly 2. I lost nearly 40 lbs, got down to my recommended weight, and now I would love to continue my healthy lifestyle. It has been very difficult because of morning sickness, certain foods do not sit well with me... and my husband has terrible eating habits. So I am hoping that joining this group will give me the encouragement I need.
    Praying that each and every one of you has a beautiful, healthy, wonderful pregnancy!!

    (I love meeting new friends, but I do have some stipulations: please be encouraging to everyone, don't belittle, and I don't tolerate foul language, drama, gossip, or anything like that. Thanks!!!)
