A little papaya...how cute :)Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop. --courtesy of thebump.com
Our son (wow, that sounds weird..our son) has been moving around. I'll have to start jotting down what time of the day he moves around the most. I guess I'll just post it on here every time I feel some movements. I've noticed that it's mostly in the late afternoon and night. My belly is getting bigger every day. I've seen some pictures of women that are as far along as I am and they are much bigger...but everyone carries differently I guess. I have a small frame so maybe that's why. Dunno. I've been playing music for him and reading him books at night. Our favorite right now is Good Night Moon...a classic. :) I have classical cds that I play along with a new one that I just bought made by Parenting magazine. It's cute. It has all the nursery rhymes on it. I play the nursery rhymes in the car on my way to work and the lullabies on my way home. He gets a little of both.
I've been doing some research on the benefits of classical music to babies. Studies have shown that playing classical music won't make your baby smarter. It may soothe your infant, but "the presence or absence of classical music did not significantly affect student performance on tests." - July issue of Psychological Science
So, I've been playing a little bit of everything for our little boy. Some classical, lullabies and nursery rhymes...oh and lets not forget today's top 40 LOL.
