HI Everyone! Last week it was a slow week for posters! If you are pregnant, we'd love to hear from you (the more the merrier). My workouts have basically been walking...
Monday: one hour walk
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: KPC (cardio conditioning)-with modifications
Thursday: Gym (20 minutes recumbant bike-that position felt weird), 20 minutes lower body
Friday: 20 minute walk
Saturday: walked around NYC all day-man were my feet hurting by the night;(
Imani, I read your post about being frustrated about weight gain. You are right, we are told day in and day out to lose weight, exercise, etc. And, sometimes it is hard to see us lose what we have worked hard for, but just think about what your body is doing right now. It is so amazing! You are supporting a life inside your body. You'll lose the weight after the baby-we'll be there to support each other then too. But, right now, just listen to your body and don't worry what anybody tells you. I have to listen to big boob comments on a daily basis (my reaction is that "at least the baby won't starve"). I know I'll get back into the shape I was before. And, we should be very proud of the exercise we do squeeze in weekly. If it wasn't for posting weekly, I wouldn't do the exercise that I do manage to do.
On Wed, the "big" ultrasound happens, so I will post back then and let you all know what we will be having!
Have a great week!

p.s. Jen V: I told my kids I am pregnant today. I wanted to read Our Teacher's Having a Baby by: Eve Bunting, but I would have to order it. I read Chrysanthemum instead, and we talked about the music teacher who had a baby.
They are so excited! We made a prediction graph for them to guess if the baby will be a boy or a girl (most picked a girl). They wrote about it (on their own choosing) in their journals today. I even had one little boy tell another teacher that I am having the baby on Wednesday. Obviously, he wasn't listening when I said I am finding out what I am having on Wednesday:7
