So I have read (or heard) that playing music for the baby in the womb as well as reading to the baby is very beneficial. Apparently they are able to hear things from around 26 weeks of pregnancy so I decided that playing music wouldn't hurt, would it? I borrowed a little cd player from my mom and tried to figure out the head phone situation. Now you can buy headphones that supposedly fit over your pregnant belly, but seriously, how comfortable would that really be? I have a pair of headphones from college that are fairly big and I tried them across my belly and near my belly. Not comfortable and I questioned could the Peanut really hear it from a distance if I didn't have the earphones wrapped around my belly?
Think Kim... I have an ipod that came with earbuds. My new belly button (see previous post) is oddly enough the shape of an ear canal, sort of. It's not necessarily the shape of an ear canal, but surprisingly the earbud does stay in there quite well. I stick on bud in the belly button and one bud in the thigh/belly crease (the pregnant belly does hold it there - sigh) and alternate music every night. According to Peanut's movement, his/her favorite type of music (other than Mamma Kristin singing either 'Goodnight Sweetheart' or 'You Are My Sunshine') is Leahy. An upbeat, very fun Irish band. I think the Peanut enjoys the beat and energy of the music. My plan is to ensure I have Leahy on my ipod (if I can figure the d@mn thing out and make room for all the music I painstakingly burned and sorted in a certain way for bday) - but that in and of itself is a different post.
Until then...
