    How many kids do you have: 3 furkids, this is our first pregnancy
    Due Date: unknown
    Do you know the gender: unknown
    Have you picked out the baby's name: Still talking about it.
    Where do you live: Currently Alabama, but we will be moving in August to where ever the military sends us.
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: I was doing weights and Turbo Fire, but an inability to eat much and nausea has limited that. So mostly walking for now.
    This is our first pregnancy, I stopped my BCP in mid January and never had a cycle. So we have no idea how far along we are. I had a positive test the day after hubby's birthday. My first appointment is April 9 and I'll have an ultrasound to hopefully found out how far along we are and an estimated due date.

    Anything else you'd like to share: I've lost 100 pounds to have this baby, after having a plus-size pregnancy with all the wildly annoying eagle-eye monitoring that comes with it.

    I stopped in December and had one cycle. My doctor had told me that it would take 6 months to a year to get pregnant because of the length of time I'd been on birth control...I sure showed her :blushing:
