Nancy O'Dell talks about keeping fit and what she loves the most about being pregnant

Nancy recently sat down with OK! to discuss staying fit, her cravings, and what she loves the most about being pregnant.

She says she's gained 10 pounds so far: "I think most of it is in my boobs - good grief!  I am very excited so far about the path I am on.  It is very important to gain the right amount of weight.  My doctor says you should gain half a pound each week, which would put me on the right track."

Her pregnancy cravings: "I craved baked beans and animals crackers.  I think the baby is craving the crackers, and they have to be the ones in the circus box!  I never really ate much of either of these, but one day my craving was so intense that I went to the grocery store and bought 15 cans of baked beans!  The craving for the baked beans lasted only one day... so now I have 14 cans of baked beans sitting in my pantry."

How she keeps fit: "I am doing some stretching and walking. The doctor says you can continue doing what you were doing as far as working out before your pregnancy. The baby seems to like the treadmill walking."

What she loves the most about being pregnant: "It just makes me feel like my life is a full circle now. I have the most wonderful husband in the world and now a baby I made with the man of my dreams. This is the most content I have ever felt in my life!"

Nancy and Keith have been married since June 2005.  Keith has two sons, 11-year-old Tyler and 7-year-old Carson, from a previous marriage.
