Goal Reached! Can't Believe It!

Well, I think it's safe to say now that I have reached a very special goal of mine....wait for it...
I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY!
Yep, baby #3 is on the way. And guess when he or she is due! The official due date is April 6th, just days after my 30th birthday. But here's the interesting part: I'll need a c-section (complications with first two births, don't want to take any risks) so the baby will most likely be coming right before my 30th birthday!!  How awesome is that timing? Happy early birthday to me!

My husband and the kids are just as excited as I am. It really is an awesome, awesome thing. I'm four months along now, and all is well.
Of course, this totally negates any weight loss goals I had, but so far I have been careful with my diet and I am gaining just the right amount at a slow rate, which is not only healthy for me but is healthy for the baby as well.

As for the other goals...I was going outside with the kids, but once the morning sickness hit late summer, I was pretty much an indoor gal. The heat didn't agree with me. Now that it's cooler and the morning sickness has passed, we've been getting out.
I have written more than 30 hubs on HubPages since I first started this blog--47 in fact in all! I joined the HubPages' Apprenticeship Program which made me write at least 8 hubs every month for six months. By the end of this week, I'll have written about 49-50 new hubs. Pretty cool, eh?
I haven't really been too involved with any other goals. The first trimester wiped me out, and I've been busy with the HP program. Hopefully I can get back on track soon!
Thanks for following along. I'll update again soon, especially when I find out what gender the baby is in a month!
