Hi Cathe, Sheila and everyone;
Just found out (Dec. 13) that I'm pregnant with our first child....Words can't express how excited we are. We told the parents yesterday as a Christmas present; it was pretty emotional, to say the least. I'm due the first week in August and though it seems like it'll be an awfully long wait, I hope to enjoy my pregnancy as much as possible.
I was absolutely thrilled to find this forum....I have been a workout fiend for quite some time--lots of step, hi-lo and weight training. Since my MD said it was safe for me to continue a modified routine, I was curious about others' pre-and post-natal exercise experiences. The tips and advice I've seen here seem really helpful, as far as exercise during/after pregnancy, and the sense of support and community really shines through.
Cathe, a belated congrats on your beautiful little boy! Thanks again for deciding to start this forum!
