Took me a while to post this but the new news is that I’ve hit my goal of becoming pregnant, heh.  As of Friday, April 18th, I was exactly 4 1/2 months along.  Weight gain has been right where it should be, 8 lbs gained as of Friday, so I’m pleased with that.  I have continued to weight train and get cardio in, usually about 3 times per week at a minimum of 30 min.  I have lost strength but it’s nothing that can be helped.  I’m sure my strength loss would be even worse if I stopped lifting during my pregnancy.  I am still session skating on Monday nights at the local skating rink from 7-10 PM and I also usually get in 50-60 min of brisk walking pushing my almost 3 yr old son in the stroller and an hour of off road mountain type biking pulling my son in a bike trailer, which adds up to about 55 lbs.  That is without a doubt the most challenging for me, being pregnant and pulling an extra 55 lbs behind me trying to peddle up hills.  And it’s not like I was in shape for mountain biking in the first place, heh!  So yeah, long story short, I’m staying active, doing my best to stay in the best shape possible during my entire pregnancy.  I’ll be doing all these activities up until the day I give birth via a planned C-section.  Then after I recover from the Cesarean birth I’ll be doing my best to start lifting and doing some cardio again around breastfeeding and trying to get some sleep, plus taking care of two kids and a house (yeah, that’ll be a challenge in itself!), getting myself on the road to getting my pre-pregnancy physique back and once again being in the best shape possible.  And that’s the latest here!
