So as of now, I am 38 weeks pregnant and still have no signs of labor or anything. The waiting is killing me, but I am doing everything I can to encourage things to move along. Plus I need to start on at least the first 3 pages of my research paper before she arrives because I know it will be difficult to get some down time once when she is here.
As far as my paper goes, I chose the topic childhood obesity. I chose this topic because it is growing rapidly and as technology becomes more advanced, people especially children are more likely to become sedentary. I understand that genetics do play a role in the bone structure and fat deposits a person may have, but becoming morbidly obese is preventable. Children need to learn good nutritional habits while in preschool or kindergarten because that's when they absorb things better. However, even if they have to learn afterwards, it is crucial that they learn this. I know my high school had a nutritional class, but nobody wanted to take it until they realized they got a chance to eat. Sometimes that's the only way you can convince people to do stuff is by bribing them.
Technology is the main reason why childhood obesity has increase so much. Watching TV, playing a video game, or being on the computer seems to interest a child more than going outside and playing for a little while. My next door neighbor and I use to play a game where we would hit a volleyball up against the wall, at the time it seemed fun, but now that I think about it the game was pretty silly. However it kept us moving and active.
