Our Little Papaya

Your Baby: Month 5

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.

I am officially to the month stage instead of a week by week change...that means it is going by a lot faster...I tell Odin that the baby can hear him and he will talk to my belly and it is so cute...I have been feeling the baby move for a few weeks now but I officially SAW it move last night when I couldn't sleep and that means if our little Papaya is awake then others can feel it move but it usually sleeps during the day and is awake and moving at night...doesn't that figure...I am still having lots of bad days but I am hanging in there...I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday and I am curious to see if I have gained any weight...I don't think I have because I did throw up a lot and not eat much since my last appointment so we will see...it is all very exciting and now that I can feel it moving and see it moving and walk in front of a mirror and see a belly it is all for real now and I am still VERY nervous but excited...
