baby is moving vigorously. i feel him/her moving everyday and it makes me so happy. just knowing that he or she is there makes me stop whatever i am doing and marvel at the miracle that is growing inside me. i get scared too. i know how much responsibilities there are once you have a child and sometimes i get overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all. questions race in my mind: would i be a good parent? would i be able to provide for all his/her needs? would he/she love me the way i already love him/her?
i'm scheduled for an ultrasound scan next month. i'm hoping we'll be able to see if it's a he or a she. i don't want to keep buying yellow stuff for our baby. i feel oddly drawn to pink and frilly stuff though. is this a sign? or just wishful thinking?
this is a picture i got of a fetus at five months.
- Your baby will begin sensing sounds inside and outside the womb, like the beating of your heart or the sound of your voice.
- You may feel quickening, the first flutters of your baby's movements.
- Your baby will suck her thumb and get the hiccups.
- By the end of the month she'll develop fatty tissue and weigh about one pound. (www.expectalipil.com)
