Week One!

This week in child development we learned about all of the different trimesters and what goes on during that time. The first trimester is week 1-12, the second is week 13-27 and the last is week 28-40. In class we also went over the first three months of the pregnancy. During this time, the baby is growing, working its muscles, developing body and facial features and much more. This week I was also chosen to wear the empathy belly, a pregnancy simulator. I had to activities such as walk up the stairs, pick up objects, sit down and stand back up and more. all while carrying a diaper bag (my backpack) and another baby in a car seat. I'm sure this test was only a fraction of what a real pregnant women goes through but I can say, it was pretty difficult. I am looking forward to the rest of the year and all of the different things I will learn in this class.
