    Name: Rachel
    Husband: Keith
    How many kids do you have: two, Bill (6) and Lucy (4)
    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!)

    Due Date: 11/29/12
    Do you know the gender: Boy

    Where do you live: Alexandria, VA
    Workouts you are doing while pregnant: The doctor asked that I do not do any activity during the first trimester so I lost alot of my fitness those months. But now am back at the gym mostly doing a combination of the Elliptical and doing hill intervals on the treadmill. Doing some sporadic strength training so I need to get that more into my rotation. I have the FIRM and some Jillian workouts that I like to do but modified.
    Anything else you'd like to share: I lost about 70 lbs with weight watchers 8 years ago and am scared to gain weight. I've already gained about 10 lbs so am now counting calories with MFP trying to be healthy but really not "eat for two"

    How many kids do you have: girl (12), boy (10)
    Due Date: March 17th 2013
    Do you know the gender: Not yet
    Have you picked out the baby's name? No
    Where do you live: New Hampshire
    Workouts: Just found out about the pregnancy, and have thus far continued my regular routine. Strength training (with a trainer) 3x/week, running 3x/week, occasional biking and hiking, kayaking. Plan to keep at it until told otherwise. First appt 8/6 (8 weeks)
    Anything else you'd like to share: I will be 44 when this one's born. I definitely qualify as being of "advanced maternal age". I am healthier than I was with both previous pregnancies (having lost 65 lbs in the past year with MFP and starting the pregnancy at 55 lbs lighter than I started the last two!) This was truly unexpected and I am still not sure it's real.
