So, I got and e-mail this week that the baby may be able to start hearing us! I thought that was kind of cool.
Hello, ktlott!
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. The hair on his scalp is sprouting. If your baby is a girl, she already has 6 million eggs in her ovaries. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. He may be able to hear you as you talk. Research shows that he's learning to distinguish your voice from others, and he'll soon show a preference for it. Let Dad get in on the act, too — encourage him to talk to your baby.
Adam and I went out to dinner and a movie last night to celebrate our 7th anniversary. We went to a new place in Bellevue called Manzana, and had a great dinner! After we went to the Lincoln Square cinemas to see Live Free or Die Hard (Adam's pick). It was good, but very loud! I realized during the movie that the baby can hear! It was the most that I have felt the baby move thus far! So Adam says that the baby must love the movie! We had a good night out, and it was fun to have all that movement finally!
I just thought that some of you would like to hear about this baby I'm carrying! We will find out in one week what the sex is! Let's hope this one cooperates like the boys did!
