Due Date: Feb. 23, 2012

Have you picked out the baby's name: William Friedrich - I love traditional names to begin with. William is my father's middle name, and Friedrich is my FIL's (RIP) first name.
Where do you live: Meissen, Germany (Though I am from Red Bluff, California!)
Workouts you are doing while pregnant: Daily dog walks & gym workouts 3-5 times per week up until the end of October 2011, when I was about 25 weeks pregnant. I still do the daily dog walks which are about 30 minutes each time.
Anything else you'd like to share:
Hello ladies! I am brand new to the website, though not to fitness. I have been active with sports my entire life. It was after I turned 21 that I began drinking and started to slowly gain weight. It was also when I dated a very boring guy that I gained a LOT more weight. I did, however, managed to LOSE that weight all on my own in 2007 after I left that boring guy.
In July 2008 I followed my heart to Germany and was married in October 2008. I slowly started gaining weight back due to not speaking German, not knowing anybody, and simply adjusting to my new lifestyle. (My husband is German, and I am not affiliated with the US Military.) I started to lose weight last year (Spring 2011), again all on my own, with some help from my local gym. I'm sure it helped a little bit that my husband was (and still is) a member of that gym.
We found out we were expecting our first child together in June 2011, with a Feb 29, 2012 due date (later changed to Feb 23). I am currently in my 34th week. I don't exercise anymore, other than my daily dog walks. After the baby arrives, I plan on getting back into LONGER dog walks WITH baby in tow, and going to the gym 3-5 times per week again.
My goal is to get back down to the size I was when I first moved to Germany.

Anything else you'd like to share: I am absolutely terrified that this pregnancy will be as hard as last time. I was sick with morning sickness until 18 weeks and lost 25lbs. Other than that, happy as can be, stressing about the normal things, parents aren't so excited because they will be so close in age, but in-laws are thrilled since this will be there second grand child. i'm happy because I wanted to have my babies before I got too old to keep up with them
but i'm hoping for a boy incase this pregnancy is as bad as last time, then I won't be pressured to do it again to try and have a boy. 0 -

Anything else you'd like to share: I'm just really glad I found this thread even though I only have 6 weeks left. I've had the worst time trying to figure out how many extra calories I should be eating to gain a healthy weight. Right now I'm 18.5 lbs gained at 33 weeks. My Dr. said 25-30 lbs, which I think, I'll probably make 25. But I notice that I keep coming in under my calorie count from before I was pregnant. I've been eating super healthy and maintaining my exercise routine. Anyone else notice that?0 -
