If you discover that you are pregnant, speak with your doctor about whether or not it’s safe to continue your vegetarian diet. You and your baby can get plenty of nutrition from a vegetarian diet, but your doctor may have special suggestions on getting the right balance of nutrients from your food choices.  If you are a pescatarian, or eat fish on occasion, you may need to limit the types of fish you eat. For instance, you'll need to avoid the big, predatory fish like tuna and mackerel. The smaller the fish, the less mercury it will have, so choose fish like sardines and anchovies.  Also avoid soft cheeses like brie and blue cheese, as these are made from unpasteurized milk. A soft cheese made with pasteurized milk is safe. Also, do not drink "raw" milk, which is milk that is not pasteurized. Women who are pregnant have special dietary needs, and if you are a pregnant vegetarian, you will need to adjust your diet even more to keep you and your unborn baby healthy. Consult a registered dietician to discuss your specific dietary needs and how you can best get all of the vitamins and nutrients necessary to maintain your health. Vegetarian women may lack important vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, Vitamin B12, and essential fatty acids. This deficit can become more acute if you are a pregnant vegetarian. A registered dietician may help you develop an eating plan that ensures you and your baby get sufficient nutrients. With your doctor or dietician, develop a sensible vegetarian meal plan that will sustain you and your baby throughout pregnancy. Keeping a food diary can help you keep track of the types of food you’re eating and ensure that you’re getting a varied range of essential nutrients.  Be sure to show your food diary to your doctor or dietician.

summary: Consult your doctor about continuing your vegetarian diet. Consult a registered dietician. Develop an eating plan and keep a food diary.

Fernando Villalona, Juan Luis Guerra, Eddy Herrera, and Toño Rosario are good places to start, though New York merengue has its own veritable following too (think Mala Fe, Henry Jimenez, and Aybar). You could also just find your favorite Internet radio and type in "merengue" and let it do the work for you! However, merengue is totally versatile. Since it's a basic step that requires 4/4 time -- which most music is -- you can do this step to just about anything. Give it a try to your favorite artist! This is a closed dance position.  Here are the details:  Hold your arm out so it makes an L shape at shoulder level. The man's left hand holds the lady's right hand. The man puts his right hand on the lady's shoulder blade and the lady puts her left hand on the man's shoulder blade; their arms should touch (with a bit of pressure) with the man's arm below the lady's. There should be no gap between the two arms at any point. Be close but not too close -- about a foot apart. Ladies start with their right foot, men on their left. March so that you take a step on every beat. 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.  Men: start on your left foot, marching in place, bending your knees slightly with each step. As you bend your knee and shift your weight, your hip should naturally fall. It is this hip movement that makes the merengue what is. You don't need an excessive hip shaking or gyrating -- just that natural hip movement that takes place when you shift weight. Women: start on your right foot, bending your knees slightly, doing the same movement as your partner. Your knees are mirroring each other, but not touching (or, God forbid, ramming into each other). Feel your hips move back and forth, slightly up and down as you change weight with each beat. Get into a rhythm with your partner. When you both start to feel the grove, feel free to move on to partner work (in other words, turns. The fun stuff!). Your partner should be able to close her eyes and know exactly what's happening. With each slight movement, you are cuing her where to go and what to do. It's the slight pressure from the arm you have around her that will do most of it -- don't yank her around! At the same time, it's important not to give her false signals. If she feels you start to do something, she'll respond. So make sure you follow through!

summary: Throw on some merengue music. Take a Latin dance hold. Begin marching in place on the 1 beat. Men, don't forget to lead!


Summarize the following:
Think about how your kid plays, how old they are, and how they could realistically use the space. It's easy to design a room that you'd like for yourself but remember that kids have very different needs than adults. Their personality will also play a big part in how they enjoy the room and what they'll need to get the most from their room.  For example, a bench at the foot of the bed is useful for you to get ready in the morning, but your child wouldn't use one. For example, are they more bookish? If so It's probably more important to have a reading area with a comfy place to sit than a larger play area that they'll never use. But it depends on them! Kids benefit from open floor space in a way that adults do not, so try to find ways to give them as much space as possible. A good way to do this is to make some spaces do double duty. A loft bed, for example, is not only fun for your child but allows you to tuck away items like a dresser and a desk, so that your child has the rest of the room to play in. When arranging furniture in a room, it's a good idea to try to group the furniture items by function. For example, put the dresser and bed next to each other because those are the functional items of the room, and have another area that's for play and contains bookshelves and toys. You can even use furniture to divide a room into smaller sections. Make a secret bed cove by placing the bed against the back wall and then placing big book shelves across in front of it. Your child will love their secret hide out! Remember: you don't want big furniture in a small room if you can help it. If your child's bedroom is small, don't take up all the space to move around with big beds and dressers that they don't really need. You should also remember that kids are small...a big bed that they have to jump to get in to isn't going to help them a lot, for example.
summary: Consider your kid's needs. Double up as much space as you can. Group spaces. Scale furniture to the kids and the room.
