Pregnancy yoga. Loved it, loved seeing the other pregnant women looking happy and gorgeous. Really helped to make me feel normal about the whole thing. And it was a great stretch. I imagine it'll be even better as I get bigger.

Aqua aerobics. Hilarious, and probably good exercise.

Swimming. Very relaxing.
