    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!!!)

    Yay, someone else who doesn't find out the sex! We didn't with our first and don't plan to this time, either. Last time, no one believed that we didn't know. My mom grilled me about it every time we spoke on the phone. Why is that so hard to believe?

    Anyway, congratulations, and yay for surprises :happy: Be sure to visit our May 2013 Due Dates thread!

    Hubby: Morgan
    How many kids do you have: This will be our first!
    Due Date: July 4th, 2013
    Do you know the gender: Only 5 weeks, can't know yet.
    Have you picked out the baby's name: Nope.
    Where do you live: Minneapolis, MN
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: still doing my 18 mile round trip commute via bike most days (I think I'll have to forego the usual winter riding this year for safety), still planning on hitting that 1/2 marathon milestone by the end of the year (beat 10 miles this past weekend!), taking our 3 dogs for romps at the park a few times a week and thinking of signing up at the Y to swim this winter.
    Anything else you'd like to share: I feel very naughty for not telling my husband yet, but I just found out at the Dr's office today that we are pregnant for sure. His birthday is on Sunday and I was planning on wrapping up the PT stick as a gift. (He hates is birthday usually, but I have a feeling he will like this one) We have been married about a year and a half and decided since we just finally took our honeymoon in September, we could start trying to conceive right after. Nailed it!
    Concerns: I guess this isn't really a concern, but I'm bummed that I will more than likely be gaining back the 29 lbs I've lost since I joined MFP. I have a feeling it will be totally worth it : )
    Also, since this is my first, if anyone would like to add me as a friend to share sage advice, or have a first time mom/dad as a support person, I'd love it. Cheers all!
