Nutrition During Pregnancy

    During your pregnancy, what you eat becomes even more important.  It affects your health, how you feel, and the most important thing, your baby.  Babies need enough protein, carbs, and fats to develop their organs correctly.  This is not a time to diet or starve yourself.  To get the baby the nutrients it needs, you must eat a well balanced, nutritious meal.  You need to stick to the five food groups- grains, fruits, vegetables, protein foods, and dairy.  Oils and fats give you important nutrients, too, even though they’re not in the food groups.

    When you’re pregnant, the fats you eat provide energy and help build many fetal organs and the placenta.  Most of the fats and oils in your diet should come from plant sources.  You should also Limit the solid fats that you eat, such as those from animal sources.  Solid fats can also be found in processed foods.

    Protein is crucial for a baby’s growth.  Calcium is an important for healthy bones for the mother and the baby (along with vitamin D.) it  helps your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems run normally.  foliate acid is a B vitamin that is necessary to prevent serious abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord, and decreases the risk of preterm labor.  iron helps build and renew hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying compound in blood.

While you are pregnant avoid eating soft cheeses from unpasteurized milk because it could contain E coli,You should also not eat raw cookie dough are cake batter because it could contain salmonella. One more thing you should not eat is raw fish(sushi), it could contain parasites or bacteria.

     “Nick Allen had plenty of ideas,and he knew what to do with them.”  My book review is over the fiction book Frindle, by Andrew Clements.  Lets just say Nick isn’t the worst, but he sure is not the  greatest student in the fifth grade class.

     The main characters in Frindle are Nick Allen, Mrs.Granger, and the rest of the fifth grade class.  Nick Allen, a fifth grade student  gets the rest of the fifth grade, and entire country to say the word “frindle” instead of the word pen.  Read this book to find out how the meanest English teacher, Mrs.Granger, in the school reacts!

     My favorite part was about ten years later when Nick writes a letter to the mean,old teacher he had in fifth grade, Mrs.Granger.  That is all I can say, or I would give away the ending!

     I would recommend this book to boys or girls.  If you were ten to twelve years old, I think you would enjoy it.  I would rate this book an eight out of ten.  If you decide to read this book, I hope you enjoy it!

The Thing I Love

My favorite sense is sight because I can the see world around me. I can pick out my own clothes knowing what it has on it. Sight makes my life better because I can see things that are beautiful and pretty. I am happy I have sight because I think it would be scary not to have my sight. You would hear noises and you would not know where they were coming from. That is why I am grateful for my sight.

 

 

How my life would be if my sight was taken away. I would be so nervous if I didn’t have it. I could not see anything that was going on around me. I would also be very sad because I would not be able to see the beautiful things in the world. I could not see my friends,family,or my pets. That is why I love my sight.

Watching,

running,
then BOOM!

Listening to the ball,
hit the floor,
it feels,
amazing.

I feel so good,
when I get my serve over,
I get so pumped.

When the ball hits the ground,
on the other side,
a chill of excitement rolls down my back.

When I feel the energy flow,
I feel so great,
that is why,
I love Volleyball!

It was Christmas day and I was opening my presents.I picked one up and tore the rapping paper off and heard what sounded like a small box inside.My sister-in-law Lara started tickling me and said “what did you get,what did you get!!!!”.I said “I don’t know”,and ripped the box open.I looked inside with excitement and the little box had a picture of an iPhone 4.I was so excited.I had a big smile on my face.I showed Lara the little box and then she screamed with excitement.”Ahhhhhhhhh”she said.She looked at me and smiled.She said she was jealous of me and said I would have a lot of fun with my new phone.I started playing on it as soon as I could.Then I downloaded a couple apps and started taking a lot of pictures.This was my favorite present and most memorable moment of the holidays.

One day me and my mom where just lounging around the house and our friends invited us to go to Shreveport with them.We said yes, packed our bags and got ready.First we went to Sonic and got me some popcorn chicken then they cam and got us. Me and my friends Kylie and Trent ate the chicken on the way there.when we got there it was time for dinner so we went to the Horseshoe and ate chicken and fried rice. They gave us a lot! Then we ate ice cream with gummy bears. So we went to our hotel rented Hop stayed up a little bit and went to bed. The next morning we went to the Boardwalk ate then went shopping. Later my brother Jake called and said “Momma Kitty had two kittens!”(Momma Kitty is the cat’s name.)So we shopped a little longer and went home. Then we saw that she had four kittens! I was so excited!They are so adorable!Now they are a little bit older and there names are……Smokey,Bandit,Dexter,and Lexi. I have so much fun with them. That was one of my most memorable moments of my summer!

Baby kittens,
There you are,
I was so excited,
To see you,
I wanted you,
To sleep in my room,
Then my mom,
Let you,
A couple weeks later,
You had to sleep,
In the garage,
But I still,
Come and visit,

And play with you.
