Working out at 36 weeks

I can’t believe there is less than one month until Baby H. will be here!  Time seems to be flying and the weirdest part is that you have no ideas when to plan for the big arrival.  So I  keep things in my life as normal as possible.  I think this will be the key to getting back into shape after the baby is born.  We will see if this holds any truth.
