Logan Gray (12)
Tyler Austin (11)
Kaitlyn Elisabeth (8)
Cameron James (4)
Cara Grace (3)
Ava Rose (9 weeks)

2) We think two chidren are plenty

3) The pregnancies were pregnancies. All full term, felt great until the end and then I couldn't wait for it to be over with. All vaginal deliveries with the first being 8 hours and the last two being 3 and 2 hours respectively. All edpidurals except the last (decided after the 3 hr labor with Cara, I wanted to try it at least once with out it with Ava)

4) After the oldest 3 go to school and I get the baby fed I put Cara and Cameron on the couch to "watch" and do a kettlebell workout. In the evenings, my hubby and I walk together after we get the youngest ones in bed. Logan is a great helper.

5) I want to do what I can now to prevent health problems in the future. I have too many people depending on me.

All of my preg were good, I on the other hand was very uncomfotable through all of them.....I would normally go to the gym with my hubby but after the last child I invested in beachbody workout programs and relized that me , my self got a better work out at home including weights...then going to the gym and putting the kids in the play room ect. I workout for my energy for the kids and mostly I alswas want my husband look at me the way he did before kids wink wink .....

Hello!

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? (share names if you wish) I have a 3.5 y/o old daughter and a son who just turned 2 last week

2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future? - NO!!!!! 2 is more than enough for me to handle (plus, I'm 41)

3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery? Both my kids were conceived via IVF - My pregnancy with my DD was stressful, I had Gestational Diabities, we had a scare where all screenings came back showing signs for a Downs baby, I had several episodes throughout my pregnancy of heavy bleeding. My deliver was amazing.... I was induced due to the GD and from start to finish my whole labor was 5 hours. I only gained 13lbs being on a strict GD diet. (I was 190 when I got pregnant with her)

My son - I gained 35lbs (also around 190 when I got pregnant). Uneventful pregnancy with him, although I had bad morning sickness for the first 5 months... not very good when you have an under 1 y/o kid to keep up with! I had slight placenta previa with him therefore had to have a c-section. No GD that time around and he was 2lbs bigger than my daughter!


4.) When do you fit in time to exercise? - I have a pretty good schedule going, and a very supportive husband. I work out early mornings 2 days a week, with a trainer 2 afternoons a week and usually try to hit the gym one night a week after my husband comes home from work.

5.) What is your main motivation to be fit? - at 5'1 I was at the heaviest I had ever been (205lbs) at the end of 2011. I was finally disgusted enough with myself to do something about it. I want to be healthy and be a good role model for my little ones. I also need ALL the energy I can get to keep up with them. It's also something to finally do for just myself.

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? (share names if you wish)
I have one stepson, 23 & six with my husband ages 19, 18, 12, 9, 7 & 3

2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future?
Noooooooooooooooooooo lol

3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery?
All were induced. My 4th was really rough. He was breech until 3 days before I delivered & my gallbladder decided to croak on me, which wasn't his fault but still sucked

4.) When do you fit in time to exercise?
Anytime I have time alone. If I can't get alone time, it's walks, playing frisbee or whatever with them

5.) What is your main motivation to be fit?
My oldest is finishing up BCT in the Army. He wants us all to get fit. I want it too but had been making excuses for myself. I'm done with the stink'n think'n

Any Moms wanted to add me as a friend, please do!!!

1) I have 3 children. Emily 21, Michael 20 and Jared 13.
2) Three is the magic number for me!
3) All three were great pregnancies. No complications and I had them all naturally.
4) I like to go for walks in the morning while its nice and cool out. I like to my other exercise in the morning after Jared goes to school.
5) My main motivation is my children. I want to be around for them for as long as I can. I do not want to die young like my Mom did.

I have 4 kids, Veronica 10, Isaiah 6, Aaliyah 5, Djavan 2. My husband is "fixed" so def no more. I find time to exercise whenever. Sometimes I just take them with me, I live in front of a big school. I can take them there and make laps around the parking lot while they play in grass. They r good kids. I do other workouts when they go to sleep. I make myself. I used to even take them to gym with me when i had a membership. There are ways you can do it! My motivation comes from wanting to look good and be healthy, even if that sounds shallow! I am still so young. I don't wana look so Yuck. :-)
