Yup...they were a handful at first (sometimes still are! ), but it's much better now that they are 6 and 7 (both in first grade). I'd also recommend getting as close to goal as you can before getting pregnant. Pregnancy is much easier and healthier when you aren't carrying around a lot of extra weight along with that developing baby inside you and not being a lot overweight also makes it a lot less likely that you will have problems during your pregnancy. I was fortunate to have very easy pregnancies two out of the three times (we lost the first one at 17 weeks), but a lot of women aren't as lucky as I was. Good luck again!
