Congrats to you and your wife!
My kids are 6 and 9. I worked out before I was pregnant, and then continued to workout while I was pregnant up until delivery without issue. My doctor told me I could continue to do anything I was doing before, just not the time to try anything new. With my first baby, running became uncomfortable after about 24 weeks, as I would have cramps/contractions so I stopped running then and could bike indoors, weight training, elliptical, swim and some group fitness classes. With my second baby, running was fine so I kept at it, although my pace slowed as my belly grew :). And with that one, biking/spinning was uncomfortable after awhile. I just listened to my body and it helped me bounce back quickly too!
