Beautiful Disaster.

Y23 March 2006
You are 13 Weeks Pregnant!

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU
The second trimester is sometimes referred to as the "honeymoon of pregnancy." This is because women often regain energy, with much of the arduous work of organ development now almost complete.
As you enter your second trimester, your nausea most likely has faded into a memory. (If you had to stop taking prenatal vitamins during this time, you should begin to take them again as soon as possible.)
You may feel absolutely wonderful. You aren't yet subject to the physical discomforts that may appear in the later weeks of pregnancy and you may finally feel ready to reveal your long-held secret to the world.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
Measuring in at about seven centimeters crown-to-rump and weighing about two ounces, your baby-to-be will spend the rest of the pregnancy concentrating on growing and becoming strong enough to live outside the uterus. Your baby's intestines have now moved from outside the body to inside the abdomen. While your baby won't be saying "Mommy" for some time, vocal cords are now developing. Your fetus also has developed many reflexes and will squirm inside of you if your abdomen is prodded.

EATING FOR TWO
Soy products are a great way to boost protein and calcium intake. Make sure that soy milk products do not contain unnecessary levels of sucrose.
Yummy Soy Shakes:
Pear Soy Shake: Combine in a blender 2/3 cup drained canned pears with 2/3 cup vanilla soy milk.
Cantaloupe, Banana Soy Shake: Combine 2/3 cup diced cantaloupe with one banana and 1/2 cup soy milk.
