Hi Jenna! I stumbled upon your blog a few years ago, it actually inspired me to start my own blog, My Healthy Passion. I am such a fan, I read your book as well (which I loved!). Thanks for letting us into your lives, introducing us to amazing recipes, and I can’t wait to hear more about your pregnancy! Congratulations to you and Adam!! P.S…I can’t wait for some pregnancy craving recipes!! ; )

A friend called me today to say that she was 12 weeks, and then I read this! She’s also already showing! SO SO excited for you. Congratulations!

Jenna, Congrats and I am so happy for you and Adam. I have been following your wonderful blog for about a year now and it just makes me happy everytime I look at it. You are my mentor of everything Id like to become in the future as I have a degree in English, do am yoga with Rodney Yee 4 days a week, substitute teach and love to cook. I made your slow cooker chicken tikka masala this weekend and everybody in my family loved it and I am eating it right now on my conference period at school. Thanks for every thing happy and praying for a blessed delivery for you.

Hi Jenna, I have been following your post and enjoying your recipes for a couple years now (at least). It’s strange, but in a way, I feel like we are friends..;0) It has been a long time since I have visited Eat Live Run, because my 8m old son has been keeping me very busy. Instead of cooking for me and my husband, I spent most of my time preparing baby food and coming up with fun flavors to mix together for our son-Rio.

When I found out you were pregnant and read your pregnancy journal, it brought back many recent (yet they feel so long ago) and forgotten memories of my pregnancy (warning nostalgia alert!!). There are pros and cons to every stage and when your in it, it may feel like time is passing slow (esp the first 3m) but then time flies and you wonder how the little baby you used to be able to take to mama & baby yoga and do squats with him while holding him in one hand has developed into a 18 pound baby that is crazy curious about the world around him- so curious that he NEVER stops moving;)

Anyways, I’m in memory land and this post is getting to be a bit long…if theres anything I can share with you it’s these few things:

on delivery day, trust your body…it is wise and knows what to do (I had a home birth and would never do it any other way (3 days of labor though, but in a relaxed environment and at home)

Everyone around you will have advice and it will all be different and contradictory- you and Adam will figure it out together one step at a time.

Something that I would have done differently: figure out how you will address your baby’s sleep. We didn’t think about this much. But when baby is finally, out, it becomes a big topic and one you can’t ignore. Thinking about it now, is much nicer than when you both are sleep deprived and baby is a night time monster…;)

Again, very happy for you both. This is such a beautiful time in your lives, enjoy it and take a babymoon (or 2 or 3) before baby arrives because once he does, it will always be a party of three.

I have been a huge fan of your blog for a couple of years now and love all of your fun baby updates! Have you found any good maternity skinny jeans? I will be in need in the next few weeks and have loved your suggestions so far!

Playing computer games makes kids smarter? Experts answer this question “yes”.
In the http://friv.party/ site, children are playing games, as well as mathematical games that will help their lessons alongside games. These games contribute to children’s intelligent development.
According to a new study by experts, the students who play 5 minutes before dersten are more successful. 580 students participated in the survey conducted in the United States. Children play the game called “Activate”, a mental gymnastic developed for research.
It was seen that the students who played this game for 5 minutes before the lesson had a much higher success in the examinations. Focusing and enhancing memory skills, the long-term effect of the game was also positive.
Children who played 20 minutes of play 3 times a week for 4 months were found to be more successful in reading and mathematics exams. However, experts warn parents about computer games.
Some computer games based on mathematics have significant contributions to positively affect the attitude of mathematics. Just as the antibiotic used increases with vitamins, which are catalyzed, one of the catalysts of permanent learning is games. At the point where we combine mathematics and game concepts, permanent learning is likely to have taken place. It should not be surprising that a child who has passed through middle school but still living in the multiplication table knows enough detail to surprise any computer or web application. This will bring the question “Is the problem in the student or in the system?” Although this question is not a single and concrete answer, the important thing is to be able to combine the positive aspects of both. In the United States, serious scientific research and questionnaires on this topic have been made, and some schools have already incorporated some math-based computer games into their teaching systems. They even organize regional or national competitions on these math-based games. The game “24 Game”, which has been held since 1980, has become one of the most known games based on mathematics. Later, this version of the game was made in computer versions and wider masses were achieved.
These positive examples give us clues about a new educational model that learns by doing-and-learn, and contributes to learning permanently with mathematical play. In such a system or model, one of the most important elements that help to provide a permanent and complete learning in large student groups is to enrich the content of that course. Mathematics-based computer games are among the most powerful instruments among these enrichments.
Spending too long at the computer is said to have negative effects on children’s physical and mental health.
Your children in the friv site can spend time without boredom. They can also play intelligence games on this site.
