Bump to all of the above. Definitely consult a physician.
At my old gym, there was this woman basically ready to pop and still training. I thought it was awesome! I'm convinced that being in good shape also would make the birthing process less....painful? Difficult? (i dont' have kids).
I think you are supposed to make sure you don't do anything that will raise your heart rate above a certain number. And also not to do certain positions while in the third trimester.
Apparently while pregant (nursing is another story) you only need approx. 300 extra cals a day. So much for the eating-fot-two theory LOL.
Being pregnant is a time for growing a healthy baby. I think it's an EXCELLENT idea to also stay healthy and in good shape (but also be able to accept some extra bodyfat).
Congrats and it sounds like you & your wife are already off to a great start!!
