    Name: Stacy

    How many kids do you have: This will be my 3rd (I have a 13 yo & 21 yo)
    Due Date: Jan 24 2012??
    Do you know the gender: not yet
    Have you picked out the baby's name: still building a list
    Where do you live: Southern CA
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: walking is about all I can muster because I'm soooo tired after work. Hopefully 2nd trimester will be better.
    Anything else you'd like to share: This definitely wasn't a planned pregnancy. My son is 21yo, my daughter is 13yo and I'm a single mom. I was on BC but it obviously failed. Had mixed emotions at first because daddy didn't want anything to do with it at first and now sounds like he wants to fight about it after baby is born but all in all a baby is ALWAYS a blessing!! It's going to be a tough road, but luckily my family and friends are completely supportive. I'm happy to have an outlet here on MFP as well :)

    Anything else you'd like to share: I haven’t not gained an absurd amount of weight (yet) but the thought of having to lose it all afterward is seriously depressing me.

    Due Date: March 7th 2013
    DO you know the gender: Not yet
    Have you picked out the baby's name? No
    Where do you live: Auckland, New Zealand
    Workouts: Well I've only known I'm pregnant for a week ... so before I knew that I was running, biking, doing bootcamp (3x per week) and hot yoga ... I went for a run on Monday and started spotting, so midwife has said no running, I can't go to bootcamp and not run, so I'm guessing no bootcamp either :-( Also told hot yoga isn't good, too hot for first trimester. So I guess I'll be walking and biking ... might have to start swimming again!
    Anything else you'd like to share: This is a bit of a surprise addition to our family, in a moment of madness a few weeks ago we did decide to have another ... and voila ... we're slowly adjusting to the idea, all my fears are about not having enough money/ time, but today I've been feeling really chipper about having a new addition. I think my kids would adore a little bro or sis! I know they'll both want the opposite (my sone will want a brother, as he already has a sister!)
